My son was raised by his Mom, Dad, and a small, stern but loving army of Church Aunties. They will tell you they are his church Aunties and he will agree politely. Aunties are deeper than blood.

Get on this #DNC

Daniel Abraham @abraham.bsky.social · 9d

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

This makes me sad that I had but one cancellation to give.

Not only did founders not envision a lowlife could rise so high, it never envisioned the 500 or so lowlife enablers in Congress.

And who invented this three hours ago?
"general gift acceptance authority."

If the guys we see in videos are the honor grads, the recruits sent home must be something very special.

This idea that there's a magical center position that will unlock massive political victory needs to go away. Democrats need to embrace a VERY big tent; a tent that embraces blue dogs, where blue dogs can win & govern as well as Democratic Socialists, where that wins. We are not a monolith.

@thenewyorkdemocrat.bsky.social when does the president's behavior rise to the same level of concern as a tan suit, or Joe Biden's age? What a disgraceful weekend: your CYA "content, not count" note, ignoring that sometimes the count IS news and your woeful coverage of 7 million Americans.

Cherie F. @cheriefoster.bsky.social · 17d

That's double speak. All reporting is count AND content...Two Gulfstream (luxury) jets, seven year sentence, two survivors, 1.8 million attended the Obama inauguration, 1,500 arrests...

They are the Hammasholes, the Kamala purity testers. the ones who will find one blemish on a good candidate and refuse to vote for them. Meanwhile, republicans will run The Muffin Man, dust him off, throw some flour over his faults and find that ONE reason they can vote for him. ,Z

Who exactly is "we" here? Is he the co-president of Israel now?

You didn't want to see it, #rogan. It was there all along, the dehumanizing racism, lies, open bigotry. Millions of us saw and heard; you chose not to. Now you need to work to make it right with the same energy you used to support these bastards

Christopher Webb @cwebbonline.com · 20d

The con worked, until it didn’t?

ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.”

ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.

Indeed. The scariest part? Hunting in the vacuum for inspiring leadership to lead us in to battle, we have landed on an inflatable frog. All that's left is to hop to it

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

There is a profound editing error near the end of this as the court is not moving toward sweeping presidential powers, they are moving toward sweeping powers for THIS president. And that, looking back at the Biden era rulings, is a disgrace.

Church lady analysis: Plastic appetizer cups from the Dollar Tree for individual servings, 6 to a pack, went from $1 to $1.25 under Biden. Today, for yogurt parfaits, $2 a pack @ DT. Church lady math says Drump's economy is at least three times worse than Biden's. Paper cups it is.

Watching the division playoff game with the Brewers. Gotta give it to Chicagoans, putting on a sold-out ballgame amid the horrors of war. Here's to those stalwart fans dodging, well, whatever, to support their guys.

Well, in a Democracy. it should be Congress and the Courts.

I'm glad to see this as the situational morality really gets to me. Sex is bad, but gambling is okay because I guess Trump owns casinos?

Attn: Walmart & Big Boxes: It's Fummer here; Still hot. but JUST enough cooler that we can pull 5 months of weeds, plant things we've been nursing in shaded pots, & get things in order for Winterish. We can't do this stuff if ALL the garden supplies are replaced with Christmas decor. STOP!

When the Bible publishers translated Jesus' words as "suffer the little children unto me" that did not mean YOU are to make children suffer. If you're a biblical sort, these are those Pharisees and so much worse. As the guy on the street corner with a sign says, "REPENT."
