Sport? This isn't a fucking game you fascist piece of shit. Alaskans have been Republican cocksuckers throughout your entire state history. You all are the Russian drunks of U.S. society. So incredibly stupid you thought Sarah fucking Palin was a good choice. FA..FO

Fuck off
2 rural Indigenous communities got swept away &all you care about is your team sport mentality

You’ll find the redder the state is.. the more marginalized ppl they have in that state

Why? Widespread Election fraud to keep white colonial power over marginalized communities &oppress them

Good. Alaska isn't an American territory anymore. Trump sold it off to Russia & that's what the uber-Republican people voted for.

Alaska has voted Democrat fewer than any other state. They love to lick boots. Now they can suffer their choices.

Voters demand a Democrat Party that instantly changes the statute of limitations the moment they have the House.

Are Democrats really adhering to these dumb laws while Republicans are lawless? The fuck they are. Voters will be demanding from now on.

Jeffries: "I remind all of these corrupt individuals, these sycophants -- the statute of limitations is five years. The American people want accountability, deserve accountability, and will get accountability."

This is a very weak threat. JB Pritzker keeping his feet firmly planted in corruption. ICE has been terrorizing Chicago & the governor is just now thinking of maybe prosecuting them??

Voters demand real strength! Do your fucking jobs & protect the people right now. No excuses.

How are you going to deal with China? They are financing the world's atrocities. They're actively killing Americans. They released Covid as an attack on humanity.

You've gotta have something or you're not fit for this battle.

People think politics is corrupt… all of it. And to fix it, we need to rebuild trust.

That’s why I’m running on:

- Banning stock trading by members of Congress
- Overturning Citizens United
- And not taking a dime of corporate PAC $$

I absolutely love how the inflatable costume is taking off for protest! It offers protection in so many fucking ways but if they go into battle, we will need to level the costumes up for extended dancing in tear gas smoke. Let’s talk 🧵🧵🧵🧵

You gotta give ‘em hop.

A tweet from the Anonymous account says, “Make sure the dude in the frog costume in Portland knows he's an icon.” The image is a stylized poster of a frog wearing a stars-and-stripes scarf with the word “HOP” below, in the style of the Obama “HOPE” poster.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

Why are people who look like me called "prisoners" when they get kidnapped, but the people who resemble Europeans are called "hostages" ... and then in the same breath, I'll get accused of being "woke" or "radical" or even "antisemitic" just for bringing this up because the answer is uncomfortable.

China has always known they can replace our markets & actually did the long con by having the U.S. grow their soybeans when they can just grow their own. They literally never needed U.S. soybean farmers. Can't you all see that?

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 14h

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Reddit cofounder Alexis Ohanian says much of the internet is now dead due to AI bots.

It isn't dead; it's invaded. And Alexis is one of the wealthy in a position to provide free training to Americans in AI. Bots aren't immortal. It just requires people who want to defeat them.
