The Milwaukee hat wearing dude gets it 100% right. If he lives in Milwaukee, I’m glad he’s nearby.

The president is a convicted felon and an adjudicated rapist. The vice president is a classless asshole. The rest of the administration are a bunch of slithering ass worms. Are we great again?

In MAGA’s universe Biden was president on Jan 6, 2021. We must not only resist their ignorance but also their delusional view of reality and fight their dangerous nonsense with the truth.

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy ordered to go to jail next week

Sarkozy must go to La Santé prison in Paris after conviction over scheme to obtain election funds from Gaddafi regime The former French president Nicolas Sarkozy has been ordered to go to jail in Paris next week after a court last month sentenced him to five months in prison for criminal conspiracy over a scheme to obtain election campaign funds from the regime of the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. Sarkozy, who was the rightwing president of France between 2007 and 2012, was summoned to meet state prosecutors on Monday. They told him he must present himself at the entrance of La Santé prison in the south of Paris on 21 October to begin his sentence. Continue reading...

Day 11 and the Republican shutdown continues as Republicans continue to risk folks’ healthcare access. Wisconsinites expect their leaders to work together to solve problems, and that’s what Republicans in Congress need to come to the table to do.

Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged.

Memo to Future Historians: This Is Fascism, and Millions of Us See It

From Chicago to Portland, James Comey to Letitia James, and so much else—this is no longer America.

Hundreds of children in multiple states are in quarantine and on remote learning due to measles outbreaks.

The decline in MMR vaccinations has resulted in the US experiencing an increase of measles cases with 1563 total cases & 3 deaths since January.

Trump and his cult live a bubble of bullshit. Trump makes shit up and they follow him to the ledge. Democrats did not shut The government down. Stop lying. Republicans have majorities in WH and both Houses of Congress! Use your head instead of sticking it up Trump's rump!

Oh no! Our dear leader just got the dangerous and ineffective flu and COVID vaccines. We must all send thoughts and prayers for the health and long life of our exalted dear leader.

Dr. Mar 💙 @boldnewme.bsky.social · 4d

Yesterday, at Walter Reed, Trump was vaccinated against Covid and the flu, early and quietly.

But his movement turned public health into a culture war, leaving women, the poor, and the misled unprotected.

Here’s the report.👇

We are watching Trump and his fascist regime get even more desperate from gerrymandering to investigating grassroots organizations that support Democrats. This is because Trump knows he's losing. His poll #s are awful and GOP is on road to big defeats. They need to cheat. And we need to fight back!

So, courage and integrity are required for the Nobel Peace Prize. Hear that President Bone Spurs aka convicted felon and adjudicated rapist?

DemCast USA @demcast.com · 4d

The Nobel committee chair Jørgen Watne Frydnes was asked about the decision not to award the peace prize to Trump, after the American president and his allies made clear they thought he deserved it.
