On MSNOW, I slammed corporate media for their outrageous double standard when it comes to Abdul El-Sayed where they demand he denounce every fabricated link to extremism. But they don't press his opponent Mike Rogers to denounce Trump for his Jan. 6 terrorist attack AND for pardoning J6 attackers

Thank you @deanobeidallah.bsky.social For stating the truth! Why is the media so EASY on Republicans and holds Democrats to a higher standard? No one is asking them TOUGH questions! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

California Proposition 45 is a handout to allow for more data centers and more pollution. I am a strong No. Join the firefighters, nurses, environmentalists, & working families fighting to stop Prop 45 from giving a green light to corporate polluters.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

awww man. Walter Koenig passed away. :(

Trump said: “When I’m gone, you’re all going to be broke.” Truer words have never been spoken. He has plundered, robbed and bilked the whole country for himself and his family. That’s what disgorgement is all about. Disgorgement—please practice this very fine word.

Better, but it should say "racist" anti-Muslim rhetoric, but a little closer to the truth. I know you can find it if you keep trying.

Nobody's shocked that Jason Miller is the one posting Bolsonaro's refusal to concede. Trumpworld isn't just watching Brazil, they're coordinating. Same playbook, same people, different country. The authoritarian network is global, and it's poison.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Good news for Brazil, good news for the global left pushing back against fascism, and a good sign of where things are hopefully headed here in the US!

Nothing to see here, folks.

We Love You Barack!!! ❤️🙏

Darren Bailey voted against my plan to make wealthy Illinoisans pay their fair share. And he voted to raise property taxes 13 times.

When there’s finally an effort to hold these criminals accountable for the crimes they committed, we‘re going to see a lot of pundits wring their hands and say it’s politically motivated and insist we need to turn the page and look forward and a lot of other cliches that dumb assholes like to use.

LeBron built schools for kids. Trump bombed schools and stole from charities…..so you better STFU!

Haaretz reports Hegseth went to Israel, met with Netanyahu, and now we’re gonna strike Iran again... (Right before elections in both countries)🤔 How long are Republicans going to run cover for this destructive, deadly nonsense that is costing us all so much? @MarshaBlackburn

"If we can turn out enough people to send Troy to the Senate, the people of Maine change the United States of America"

Glad to see more Democrats recognizing that if Elon Musk donates to your opponent, it is an absolute *gift* to you as long as you draw attention. He's a deeply unpopular, dorky white supremacist asshole who's using his billions to try and buy off politicians. Light. Him. Up.

In 2012, Robin Williams warned us about Trump’s ownership of pageants like Miss America and Miss Universe, comparing it to Michael Vick owning pet stores: “It’s a catch-and-release program.” We should have listened to Robin.

The protesters are the only people at Trump’s rally who aren’t lying.

I believe we can have a secure border and a clear pathway to citizenship and we can do it without a rogue, illegal agency like ICE.

That Vivek Ramaswamy ad drives home the point that Republican politicians think rape – even the rape of children – is no big deal. That disgusting ad is fully consistent with Republicans covering up the Epstein files.

Trump says if you report fraudsters, you'll get 1% of whatever they've grifted. If you want to report fraud, here's some advice: start with the family making billions off the presidency while working families can’t afford groceries.

Thought I'd re-post this pre-Trump warning. Mostly to remind myself that no one listens to the dire warnings we Liberals issue until those warnings are boosted by Never Trumpers and repackaged as their own Brilliant Insights far, far too late. driftglass.blogspot.com/2014/06/it-w...

Cause our legacy media owned by billionaires and corporations is broken?

Outstanding. More of this, please. Elon Musk is a white nationalist troll using the billions he made off government contracts to destroy this nation. Light. Him. Up.
