That's revolting. Don't listen to it, do report it to law enforcement.

Though I got a death threat in the 1990's. I was conducting a survey in grad school and published my home address and phone # for respondents. Boy was that dumb!

Oh, george - not all of us did. A number of us saw the signs back in 2015. Unfortunately, a lot of people either got behind Trump to advance their own agenda or called us alarmists - or both.

Maybe it's petty, but it would sure be nice to hear any ex-trumpers say they were sorry and we were right

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Still don't trust The Washington Post. They have a long way to go to redeem themselves.

One of the things that's frustrating about these discussions is the progressive echo chamber, that spends a lot of time talking about "the dem establishment" like candidates are chosen in smoky rooms.

Candidates are chosen primarily in voting primaries.

There are Dems that are less progressive.

Stop pissing your pants over the establishment.

There's going to be a primary. Someone will win.

VOTE FOR THAT DEMOCRAT. PERIOD. NO WHINING.

We have to win elections before we can get anything else done.
Democrats are the best ever at shooting themselves in the foot and we need to stop it.

You don't count draft-dodging? Or is that a sport?

I remember the reporting. I was agog no one was paying more attention.

This was one of several bugs in the system. The Marshals answer to the executive branch - not the judiciary.

No one expected Americans to be dumb enough to elect a person this evil. Twic.

There are lights waiting to shine we haven't seen yet. We need to cultivate them and help them grow.

I feel the same thing as you, but maybe we can find hope in the future. This will end.

Ernst has never cared about anyone other than herself. It's good she's retiring.

That's how boycotts work.

You think it wasn't painful for all those African-Americans to walk to and from their jobs which were often hard manual labor anyway?

Boycotts cause pain. Pain hopefully leads to change.

If you want the boycott to end get Trump to stop being a dick.

We didn't lose it that day. But we were given a do-over we probably didn't deserve, and we fumbled the ball a second time.

Ashli Babbitt is dead because he refused to honor the results of the election....and because no one would stand up to him when he started spinning the big lie.

Most of the time those who lead a failed coup are dealt with promptly and summarily.

The size of this operation and the fact it took us by surprise was a big stumbling block.

But we'd still brought over 1,000 to justice, and the ringleader indicted.

But people voted accountability away.

Sadly and suddenly hilarious. The Keystone Cops, 2025 edition.

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;

Riot cops standing a street with less-lethal weapons, and one in a gas mask has a cloud of pepper dust around his helmet.

We are becoming our own media. Don't worry so much about the legacy media - they're losing relevance, because they're just spouting propaganda.

Get the truth out there, and work with the organizations and writers at the vanguard of this new movement.
