I'm sorry to be that person, but that last meme in your post, the one about about the CEOs, contains disinformation and has been debunked.

This is a terrible development in #Florida, it’s exactly what DeSantis & MAGA hoped for when they passed this voter suppression law. If you know a college student in #Florida, send them an email & ask them if they’re registered ? Encourage them to register today. Nikki Fried what’s the plan ?

Project 2025 proposes all students who attend schools receiving public funding be required to take the ASVAB test before graduating.

There are some schools who already do this.

I watched it on MSNBC but who knows. I hope they plaster it all over msm, because people need to see it.

I hope he stays healthy too, I'm not sure if it could have been a TIA or he was just so exhausted. He is surrounded by the best people in his admin (though he should replace a few) so we're not just electing HIM — we're electing DEMOCRACY as opposed to fascism. We Dems need to UNITE and support him!

And I loved 💙 that he played Tom Petty's "Won't Back Down". Tom Petty's family sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump campaign after it blasted the song "I Won't Back Down" at his (Trump's) rally in Tulsa, OK. I'll betcha they gave full permission for the Biden campaign to use that same song!

Like remembering that before unions, a lot of folks worked 6 or 7 days a week, it's worth remembering that before environmental movements, the air and water in a lot of places were fucking gross. Left to their own devices, companies just straight-up poisoned people. They will again if we let them.

Me too! It helps to put vinegar on the bite as soon as possible. Or run your hot water tap until very hot water is coming out, put a teaspoon under the hot water flow, and immediately apply the teaspoon (smooth side) to the bite. (Caution - it's hot!) Hydrocortisone cream may help. Good Luck!

Old women like me, who remember what life was like for women in the 50’s, know exactly what Republicans are up to. Been there, done all that, not going BACK.

I cut out (stopped watching, basically) CNN years ago when they had Jeffrey Lord & Kayleigh McEnany on as commentators, daily, as though they were credible (2015/2016 ?). I've always watched MSNBC, but I'm not too happy with their coverage these past few days. So yes, I've cut back a bit.

Thanks, but I don't deserve the credit. I was quoting from the article, written by Amelia Mavis Christnot, and wow, what a great article!

"This is the perspective of people like Turner, Kavanaugh and Trump. It's expected that people of lower social status or in compromised positions are theirs for the taking. They don't see a crime and are offended at the very suggestion that it wasn’t their right to take what was offered..." 😠😡😡😡

In "How Men Like Donald Trump, Brett Kavanaugh, And Brock Turner Are Made," writer Amelia Mavis Christnot explores the roots of toxic masculinity and privilege. From Ivy League halls to positions of power, see how entitlement shapes behavior and fuels impunity. A powerful read.

"“Our dissenting colleagues exude an impressive infallibility,” writes Roberts, like a girls soccer coach. “While their confidence may be inspiring, the Court adheres to time-tested practices instead—deciding what is required to dispose of this case." "What men call banshees, women call prophecy."

This is how much Trump has changed politics. Ten years ago this platform would have been political suicide.

This is no exaggeration or hand-wringing. This is the truth of today’s ruling. We must act quickly because Nov 5 is only four months away.

SCOTUS has ruled that presidents are essentially monarchs who can commit crimes, bribery is legal, federal regulatory agencies have no authority to keep us safe, and homeless people can be punished for being homeless. Is it any wonder why public approval of this court is so low?

Judge Luttig: It can never again be said that in America “no man is above the law.” The Supreme Court held today that the President of the United States — and the former president in particular — is above the law, and the only person in America who is above the law.

I know, we're all tired and angry, but a very good summary of Justice Sotomayor's righteous angry dissent. They truly seem to have gone fully off the rails today in complete submission to their dear leader.

There are only 126 days until the election, and we’re already working to reach voters in battleground states and make this race a referendum on MAGA extremism. We have the best volunteers, the most effective tools, and a winning strategy.

Each person is given a dial. You can turn it up as high as 100. If you love what you are hearing, turn it down as low as zero if you hate what you are hearing, and every time Trump opened his mouth, those dials dropped, they just absolutely plummeted..

I'm Shawn Harris. I defended our nation and its democracy for 40 years and retired as a Brigadier General. I'm taking on that mission again: I'm now the official Democratic candidate facing MTG, and I'm going to fight like hell. Can you follow and share this to help grow our base here on Bluesky?
