This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Good Morning & welcome to marvellous marmalade Monday

Be kind.
You never know what someone’s carrying beneath their calm surface.
A smile, a kind word, a little patience, they cost nothing but could mean everything.

Leave a little kindness wherever you go.

Nah, Bernie would’ve lost, regardless; granted, DNC for sure cheated to ensure he was edged out. But pls be serious: Bernie’s passed zero laws during his hundred years in Congress. He isn’t even a Democrat—ZERO chance at the presidency. Folks still griping about 2016 Bernie need to move the hell on.

Bernie lost because of the DNC. The DNC establishment so badly wanted Clinton to win because it would be a historical first woman president and many in the DNC wanted to ride her coattails into the White House for cabinet and federal positions.

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B. #GOPPriorities

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

Wait until y'all find out who are the biggest recipients of SNAP benefits.

If you work in any capacity at grocery stores, you know. I worked part time at one recently and hoo boy! A lot of them don't vote either.

We live in a failed state. In choosing whiteness over competence, voters flushed America down the toilet last November. I heard about the NC shooting because I was in NC early this morning.

Flooding this country with guns and drugs while making it harder to exist isn't a coincidence.

I can’t take election analysts who are spending this week talking about races that’ll be decided in 2026 too seriously when there’s so many decisive elections in 9 days.

FORGET about 2026 and 2028 for the next 10 days.

Focus on elections in 2025. There are **52,000** of them, according to @hcrichardson.bsky.social, and they all matter.

If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

All that military equipment to local police was a mistake… like so many of us said.

Now that they’re siding with ICE against -all- of us… if we survive this regime.. folk will pull back all that stuff..

Black farmers were systematically targeted by the U.S. government through racist USDA practices, denial of federal aid, and violence. The result: a 90% loss of Black-owned farmland from the early 1900s to the late 1990s.

That ass in VT seems to be ramping up the book interviews to talk shit about last cycle while everyone else who is actually in the party is actively working on a current campaign. He can stay bitter when 2028 comes & goes with him in irrelevance until his 2030 reelection campaign when he’s 89.
