Kristi Noem has been holding up FEMA funding for Americans in need all year.

But now she wants to spend $172M in taxpayer money on luxury jets for her own use.

Sheer corruption.

Ohio, one of the most politically corrupt states in the country, is at the FO stage. As a lifelong citizen, I love this. Sherrod Brown should be a shoe-in next November.

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

No pushing anyone out. But if you think I gotta listen to you—or magas—in order to “have a better site” according to you, well—lol

This site would actually be better if it had more voices from across the political spectrum, and efforts to push out right wing accounts are only entrenching Twitter/X's dominant position in the political discourse.

I also believe most of his voters are not evil but instead were easily misled and now are dug in on what misled them.

This is apt. In Trump world, you are either evil/selfish/corrupt or patently stupid/incompetent. There is no third option.

If you're the Dems and you were scared of immigration as a topic before, I might try making it an issue now that masked goons are beating the shit out of innocent people in the streets on a daily basis. A lot of people are probably not down with this whatever their views on immigration are
