I looked up Serge Gor by that name in Cyrillic and look what I found: an old Twitter account in the name of Sergei Gor [сергей гор] started in 2013 that follows only nine accounts, including the Kremlin/president of Russia and Medvedev:

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

CONWAY, on Marc Benioff:

This is what Republicans call taking their masculine duties seriously

I guess the problem is it’s not masculine enough

Facebook post from Operation Save America, an extremist anti-abortion organization, that says

Make fighting abortion MASCULINE again.
Abortion will end when men take their protective duties seriously.
Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love. 1 Corinthians

In calling out Cuomo for only visiting a mosque AFTER he lost to a Muslim candidate, Mamdani perfectly illustrates what’s wrong with Centrist Dems. They are:
•Elitist
•Reactionary
•Out of touch
•Transactional
•Consultant driven
•Offended when shown how to do better
They’ve learned Nothing since 2016

I dont think enough Americans realize Republicans are gearing up for permanent rule. I dont know if we will get to midterm elections. Even if we do, with gerrymandering, the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, and violent intimidation, they'll rig the elections for minority rule.

All hands on deck.

The FDA approved Enovid (AKA “The Pill”) as a contraceptive on May 9, 1960. JFK became president months later. So, of course, pregnancy rates were much higher than now, as birth control pills became more easily available to women.

RFK Jr. is an idiot.

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

No one in the military likes this regime. It's a group of incompetents chosen for loyalty alone, except for the malevolent fascist ones and the blond Trumpettes chosen for their looks as well as their loyalty.

One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry.

That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

Abbe Lowell statement says facts of Bolton case "were investigated and resolved years ago.” Bolton, like many public officials, “kept diaries — that is not a crime.” They were "unclassified records that were shared only with his immediate family, and known to the F.B.I. as far back as 2021.”

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.
