Do not trust the polls. Do not allow yourself to become complacent. Vote early — and get your friends and family to vote. Do not let Elon, Big Tech, Big Oil, AI, and the billionaire class buy this election. We outnumber them — and we're the only ones that can put an end to this nightmare.

This would be a shame, wouldn't it? Can you imagine everyone getting heath care access, just like they do in almost every other major country? The horror.🤣🤣⏬️

Trump signs executive order exempting Russia from sanctions placed on Russia in a bill just passed by Congress and signed by Trump. Say what??

Another gift Trump has given war criminal Putin. He signed an executive order exempting Russia from new sanctions that Congress passed last month It’s Russia First for Trump and the GOP

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Great point. It’s also not snormal snowbird behavior to rent an apartment above a car rental place when you need to establish legal residency to become a candidate.

As a fully bilingual Puerto Rican, I absolutely believe children should learn English from an early age. It worked for me, and I know how valuable it can be. But learning English and being taught exclusively in English are two different things. 🧵 #Pinks 🌸 #USDemocracy apnews.com/article/head...

Trump blew $11 million of your money on ads starring Trump, then refused to pay taxpayers back after a judge said the campaign violated the Hatch Act. Your money. His face. And he still thinks you should eat the cost. #USDemocracy #TrumpsAbuseOfPower

This would be economically illiterate & environmentally disastrous - and makes us less secure: undermining efforts to reduce energy bills by reducing dependence on gas, increasing vulnerability to global dictators, driving climate emissions & knee capping a market that’s just beginning to take off

Susan Collins voted for a massive increase in ICE funding and now says they need reform. Why didn't she demand that before giving them more $ ? And why is she defending the agency instead of, like Troy Jackson, backing dismantling it and parceling out its legit actions to other agencies? #mepolitics

Q: “How do you define socialism personally?” Vance: “I think in reality, what it actually means in the American context is that you want to replace American workers with foreign workers, and you want boys to play in girls' sports.”

We have a new study out (doi.org/10.1177/1071...), which further explores how different forms of visualization can influence the interpretation of hurricane forecasts, especially when a storm diverges from its predicted landfall track.
