Abdul El-Sayed didn't accept a $400M jet from the largest financial backer of the Muslim Brotherhood. That was Trump.

Democracy is not something we inherit. It is something we protect, election by election, vote by vote. Early voting is already open in many states and Election Day is just 18 days away.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

This is why the GOP wants to convince you that 'SOCIALISM' is a bad word.

Ossoff: "The draft-dodging commander in chief builds a monument to himself while plunging us deeper into a war he doesn't know how to end or win"

Police use reverse warrants to demand the identity of everyone who used a search engine to look up a particular word or phrase — without any evidence they've done anything wrong. Delaware's ban on these dragnets should be celebrated and replicated across the country.

⚠️ Be careful with VoteSafe .org. It is NOT an official voting website. It’s tied to Elon Musk’s America PAC and collects a lot of personal information from people who use it. Before you hand over your name, address, phone number, email and voter information, know who you’re giving it to.

wtf is Michael Steele taking about??? Delaware can’t have already sent out their mail in ballots for the general election since we haven’t even had our primary. We won’t know who the candidates are until the 16th. Good lord. And I thought he was smart. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Coral reefs are experiencing bleaching events so ​frequently that they no longer have time to recover before the next one strikes #climatechange www.reuters.com/business/env...

A MELTING GLACIER helped trigger the deadly floods in Nepal. STOP pouring fuel on the fire: no more new oil and gas. Wealthy polluter governments and fossil fuel companies must PAY for the damage.

There's a derangement syndrome alright:

Michael de Adder cartoonist:

There is a term for what Trump is doing to America: It’s called RAPE—a concept Trump is vey familiar with He grabs without consent, takes what he wants, ignores laws and norms, accepts no responsibility for his actions and, like most rapists, is getting away with it Trump is raping America

Luigi Mangione has pleaded guilty to killing the Health Insurance CEO. But how many people did the person he killed kill to make billions in profits from their Health Insurance payments that never went on Healthcare?

Conservative backlash was supposed to put an end to the DEI movement as companies were warned “go woke, go broke”. But new research shared exclusively with the Guardian found that companies that kept their DEI practices performed just as well as their competitors who pulled back.

I hope so.

An official statement from altCDC: This admin doesn’t know fuck about shit when it comes to science. Don’t take health advice from a failed real estate developer and a conspiracy theorist lawyer. The science hasn’t changed and vaccines are still safe for the vast majority us.

On a private call, Todd Blanche said his goal was to make the "Dobbs decision permanent in every single state." This isn’t just a confirmation vote anymore—it’s a roll-call vote on which Senators endorse BANNING abortion in ALL 50 states. I’m voting NO.

My latest cartoon:

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

"A concentration camp, in its most basic definition, is a place where a targeted civilian population, not necessarily accused of a crime, is detained and at least some of their basic rights are suspended," writes @jwashing.bsky.social. "That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

The SC better decide this according to the constitution instead of their maga brainwashing.
