Damn they honestly do not look thrilled to be there. Looks like they feel obligated to be there. A decade of defending this fool really saps the vigor out of you I guess. The one girl seems mortified.

Hugely good and positive news. Will do a lot to dispel his inevitable “it was rigged!!!” Claims.

Alaska authorities strongly oppose the Trump DOJ’s attempted “interference” in the election. This is significant because there were concerns the state—which sought to DQ the second Sullivan—would take the same side. But it didn’t. Quite the contrary. buff.ly/EJHtDpX

Americans OVERWHELMINGLY HATE RUSSIA. And a large majority LOVE UKRAINE. Do not be deceived by what our rogue POTUS would have you believe about America.

More footage shows ICE goons taking a man into custody off Northgate & Haggin Ave in Sacramento this evening!

Cary López Alvarado is a U.S. citizen, born in LA She says ICE goons kept speaking to her in Spanish and assuming she was from Mexico, even after she told them, again and again, that she was born here and speaks English. She was 9 months pregnant when she was detained by ICE.

Good shit.

BREAKING WaPo: Brazil's right-wing Flávio Bolsonaro just effectively conceded defeat to the incumbent left-wing president — minutes after Trump indicated he would not intervene on his behalf.

Fuck yes. Major win for democracy. One of their anti democratic election sabotage attempts down. Dozens more to go.

Even with all the levers of power he has his hands on, and even with control of every mechanism in the federal government, Trump has been unable to find election fraud. So he's crowdsourcing it now.

Trump: "Anybody reporting Voter Fraud in the past Elections, or the upcoming 2026 Midterm Election, will be paid $1,000,000 upon the arrest and conviction of those that created the Fraud! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

reminds me of the celebrations after Biden beat Trump in 2020. of course Biden then went on to pussyfoot around accountability and reform so as to not hold Trump accountable for his insurrection and we're still paying the price.

If Brazil can reject Trump, the Broligarchs and right-wing authoritarianism, so can we.

We've peacefully protested, now vote blue up and down the ballot in overwhelming numbers to counter Pedonald's attempts at cheating and to stifle the GOPedophiles in Congress as well as the oligarchs. Your. Vote. Really. Matters. Your vote is your voice, your choice. Use it!

The Captain@thoreau.bsky.social

well, they protested AND VOTED. the two must be used in combination.

They used protest IN COMBINATION with voting. The two together are nigh unbeatable.

They absolutely don’t and I never made that claim. You on the other hand, claimed that voting can inherently defeat fascism, which it usually can’t especially when the citizenry of the United States is the most brainwashed and propagandized of all the “first world” countries.

Scotty, beam him up.

I don't think I ever watched an episode of Star Trek (science fiction isn't my thing), but I thought casting a Russian while the Cold War was still raging, to make the point that humans would get along better in the future, was a lovely touch.

Voters are pissed and showing up! Republicans thought they could redraw the maps, rig the odds, and coast to victory. Instead, they’re scrambling to save seats they thought were in the bag.

Fuck yeah. Thank you Mrs Comey for fighting back. Keep on please.

Per Telegraph, Putin and Trump admin are discussing the “need” for NATO withdrawal back to its 1997 borders as part of the “peace plan”. That means withdrawal of NATO forces from Poland, Baltics and Finland.

This kind of thing is happening nationwide. Texas newspapers have endorsed Talarico. The tide is turning against the fascists. It is our job to crest the wave upon the shores of democracy.

Very good. Keep this up, Democrats. We demand accountability. If you do not deliver it, we will search elsewhere for capable representatives in government.

House Judiciary Democrats have just released a 50-page report that pulls together years of assault allegations against Trump and his reported connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The report calls for a special counsel to investigate Trump's ties to Epstein.

THIS is why he lifted sanctions, btw.
