Of all the terrible donation begging strategies I see in my inbox this morning, the one that turns my stomach the most is the one that purports to be from James Carville. Is that a selling point for anyone, anywhere these days? Go away, James Carville

Ossoff: "The crisis we must meet is deeper than this presidency. Trump's rise is proof that business as usual has failed, that our politics, sickened by corruption, is failing the American public and compromising our national integrity. And that the hour is late to fix what's broken."

The Ilhan Omar stuff is grotesque and feels worthy of impeachment by itself

It's time to get those signs ready! 🪧 Just a reminder that we’re gathering in Charles Town on Saturday, October 17, from 3:00–4:30 PM for No Kings: Vote Early, an event focused on voter participation and educating our community about voting options. Info here: www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

31. That's why I hope the Democrats recognize Schmitt as being representative of the malign project that is holding up Trump. Inept, incompetent, sinister, evil – the root of it all is corruption.

Trump has said the Iran war is almost over at least 60 times. It's been 212 days. 19 service members are dead, 800+ wounded, $43 billion gone. We counted every broken promise with @votevets.org.

Headlines today should be: "Trump calls on his supporters to "cheat like hell" in 2026 election." Followed by: "Trump was charged with crimes for attempting to overturn the 2020 election and incited the Jan 6 terrorist attack to remain in power despite losing." But corporate media won't do that!

Establishing the principle that POTUS is *not* above the law is worth all the time and resources it might take. If we don't do that, the republic is over and we have a king. #ImpeachConvictRemove

New sign for today

the US president, with the explicit support of the US legislature and the US supreme court, is stealing billions of dollars in thousands of ways. meanwhile the NYT is on the case of whether, when mamdani paid a thousand dollars for a knicks ticket out of his own pocket, he got a ticket for VIPs

Got a survey from what appears to be Brad Smith doing some prep work to run for WV governor There was a question that asked where I saw WV's future. Option 1 was basically "coal". Option 2 was "AI datacenters". Option 3 was "not sure." This survey sucks

hey its actually a gigantic problem that 1 of the 2 major political parties in this country are consistently claiming any election they dont win has been “stolen” or “rigged”

Probably a terrible idea, but what if there was a community sourced pool of money that would be paid to a journalist with press pool access who asks questions set by the community and refuses to let them go, pushing through any pushback, insults, and topic changes? Might give em a little courage

I've been away from the local protests the last couple weeks due to work and life stuff. Back out there today

"There's hope in the words and emotion in the eyes It's so easy to be misled by the savvy gentle guise And like fools we trust the delivery But it's all just drunk sincerity" - "Drunk Sincerity" by Bad Religion

I want to set up booths where the public can take the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and decide for themselves whether Trump should be bragging about his performance

it's a treat watching people invisible to at least 4/5 of americans fret over how a rubber chicken dinner no one gives a fuck about will be interpreted when any of them could become one of the most trusted voices in the country by interrupting a lying presidential rebuke by telling him to suck eggs

I keep coming back to this.

Today's sign

Today's sign. Which is on the back of last week's sign because I couldn't be bothered to go to Wal Mart this morning

Today's sign

I don't know if the constitution has failed us, but I sure know these conglomerations of pathetic worms in the shape of men have failed the constitution. If the constitution is broken, it is quite literally because the founders could not conceive of men so spineless. It never occurred to them!

Breaking: Tragedy at the Winter Olympics

What kind of scenario was Section 4 of the 25th Amendment meant for, if not what we’re currently witnessing?

ICE keeps saying the people protesting it are being paid without any evidence, but we have receipts showing that the people *defending* ICE are absolutely being paid. And yet we only hear lies about the former on cable news.
