Can y'all help @oregonthedm.bsky.social out? They've been a tireless advocate for all the good causes and are in a real bind with not being able to find work.

Look I've been holding off from months asking this on Bluesky because of my pride but I need help.

My car needs brakes, my rent is past due and my step kid needs shoes.

I hate having to ask this

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

I view masking the same way I view washing my hands after using the bathroom: It’s a very small sacrifice I make to not get sick and not get other people sick.

I mean, I’d love it if we required indoor air filtration in public-facing buildings bc it takes the burden off the individual.

Alas…

I am not interested in living in a society of Universal Public Masking and neither are most people. This ask is not reasonable, and the invocation of solidarity in service of it is ridiculous.

Really disappointed & surprised to see this unscientific & unkind take from you, @jamellebouie.net. COVID is still dangerous: it can cause organ- & immune system damage. New damning studies—that aren’t reported by the media—come out regularly.

As an officer of a local party where about 70 of our 280 committee seats are filled, I cannot reiterate enough that the party is a creation of the people whose hands are on it. In too many places there aren't enough hands, or those hands are complacent or bitter. But they could be yours instead.

"Look, I'm one of a handful of people that don't take corporate PAC money."

"What about AIPAC money? You take AIPAC money, don't you?"

"A minuscule percentage of my resources come from..."

"I read it's like $800,000...."

It's fascinating to me that some airport authorities recognize that the stupid fucking video from Noem is a violation of the Hatch Act, and some airport authorities just, well, don't.

Some airports around the country are saying they won’t play a video with a message from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in which she blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and its impacts on operations to screen travelers.

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

Was that Jennifer or Angela who was asking those questions? I don't know the show well enough to know who's who.

Booker, just answer the damn question. The fact that he made it about a Dem-circular-firing-squad means he didn't have a good answer and didn't want to defend it. What a fucking coward.

In some communities Facebook is the best community organizing tool. People who are used to Facebook aren't going to migrate to Discord or Signal without a ton of hand-holding. I'm in a FB group with some 300+ progressive activists in my small town. Believe it or not I do not have all their emails.

The Facebook page ICE Sighting-Chicagoland with over 70,000 members has been taken down by Meta.

Meta spokesperson Francis Brennan, who was director of strategic response for Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, said the page violated its policies on coordinating harm.

A Facebook group that shared information on sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in the Chicago area was taken down by Meta following pressure from the Justice Department, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The Facebook page ICE Sighting-Chicagoland amassed over 70,000 members in recent weeks as the Trump administration’s “Operation Midway Blitz” has ramped up in Chicago and the suburbs.

This must be because the DSCC just formed a fundraising committee with Mills, co-led by FUCKING ADAM SCHIFF.

I’ve gotten no less than FOUR fundraising texts about Janet Mills just today.

Going to donate to @grahamformaine.bsky.social purely out of annoyance.

IHIP host to Sen Booker: "What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Booker's response was basically, "stop attacking me, Dems are always engaging in a circular firing squad"

IHIP host, not having it: "That is such bullshit."

🤣🤣🤣

Cory Booker clearly wasn't expecting the pushback he got from @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social
