Sharpton: Goodman, Chaney, and Schwerner gave up their lives. And they didn’t give them up for you to sit in a penthouse and act like the White House is an extension of your penthouse. They died so our voices would be heard.

❗❗❗Mark Zuckerberg's meta just suspended the No Kings Instagram account. I just rushed back from my local No Kings to jump on this. Bottom line, would be helpful for all pro-No Kings folks to elevate the issue and help us get the word out about No Kings today. The Nerd Reich strikes again.

Hell yeah!

Students from North Carolina A&T marched for about 45 minutes in 85 degree heat to vote at the closest polling station. Making a statement that even if they remove their voting locations, the students will not be silenced 🔥

📌Greg Abbott received a $7.4 million dollar judgement in 1985 when a tree fell on him putting him in a wheelchair. When he later ran for office, he was instrumental in passing tort reform laws capping insurance payouts for victims of accidents like his at $750,000. Enough of these horrible people.

What a spectacular moral failure. This experiment is commonly understood to be wildly unethical and did real damage to the people involved. Fuck everyone involved with this. Absolute garbage.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

#MedicareforallNOW My Mom’s sitter has a raging kidney infection. She spent $75 on an urgent care co-pay only to be sent to the ER. Just checked in w/ her & found she hadn’t picked up her meds yet because she spent her last $ on the co-pay. Just Venmoed her $ for meds. US healthcare is a disaster.

House Republicans control the voting calendar and they keep canceling work. Instead of working in Washington to lower costs, they are going home early to try and explain why everything is so damn expensive before Election Day.

Chinook salmon have recolonised 88% of their historic range on the Klamath River, with more than 13,000 fish passing the old Iron Gate Dam site in 2025, up from 7,700 the year before. Two years after the dams’ removal, it’s going better than anyone predicted. buff.ly/pToC9gB #ShareGoodNewsToo

In TX-24, vote for @burgeforcongress.bsky.social on November 3, 2026 ✅ The incumbent, #BethVanDuyne is a horrid #MAGA who ascended to Congress in 2020 in-part for her xenophobic policies on the Irving city council. Send BVD packing! 🧳

Texas candidate Kevin Burge tells @suricrowe.bsky.social Republicans are panicking as midterms approach and voters sour on decades of GOP rule: “They’re very scared… ‘We’re for the working families.’ I’m sorry, you’ve had Republicans in Texas 30 years to prove it. And you have not done so.”

I really thought this was a fake tweet from Trump. He’s bragging about profiting off the presidency and his followers are clapping like obedient seals. Pathetic.

I met a grandmother in Houston. Augusta works 10-hour shifts at the airport, but her wages don’t cover her basic expenses. Now she and her 5-year-old grandson are facing eviction. In the United States Senate, we’re going to have Augusta’s back.

Trump finally ponies up from his war chest and gives $10 million to Paxton. Not surprising a Pedophile would support someone who protects pedophiles. Paxton is just like Trump, he gets richer taking bribes and embezzling. #VoteTalarico #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/Aw9ijIUbwTFe...

Texans: Make sure you are registered to vote. Being on the voter suspense list does not mean your voter registration has been purged. It simply means that local officials need an updated address before October 5th – the voter registration deadline in Texas.

I read today in an article in The Daily Beast that some military leaders have privately begun referring to Pete Hegseth with the nickname "No Tab Pete" and I nearly spit my drink out. I then realized that everyone should have the knowledge to appreciate this ruthless nickname. (thread)

In Texas, the Lt. Governor isn't just a "sidekick" position. They control the budget and the state senate agenda, serving as a check on the governor. Vikki Goodwin promises to address housing costs, expand healthcare access and support public schools. Elect Vikki Goodwin Lt. Governor of Texas

NEW AD: Why is Ken Paxton refusing to debate James Talarico? Because his billionaire handlers won't let their favorite puppet answer questions in public. Go ahead, Ken. Prove us wrong. 🐓

Charlotte Vale reposted

Ken Paxton has spent more than a decade running from debates. He said he’d debate James Talarico. Then he missed deadline after deadline. Today Talarico accepted CNN’s invitation. Paxton still hasn’t. A coward who won’t stand on a stage and answer questions isn’t ready to represent Texas.

Beginning today, Texas hospitals expect to lose $27M a day in Medicaid funding due to a Trump admin decision to withhold approval for $9.8B for 3 programs including one that matches funds to cover rising patient care costs. You get what you vote for, Texas.

The governor of Florida and his wife stole ten million dollars from a charity, but CNN would rather spend another week on blatant Islamophobic character assassination of Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, because they work for MAGA billionaires.

Our Seniors count on Social Security to get by. Cutting benefits/raising the retirement age is a Hard No from me. Congress needs to pass the Social Security 2100 Act to expand benefits and protect Social Security, paid for by having the wealthy pay their fair share. www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
