The liberals in Montana do need to pay a little more attention not gonna lie. The fascists do not play by civility, they know liberals will though, and look, they got pretty far because of liberals being civil. Sometimes you have to shake things up, otherwise it’s just compliance to their game.
-"Montana is better than that."

I raised the alarm about Carl for years & was only vilified for it by liberals who remained silent cuz "civility," so I can assure you most of MT is *not* "better than that."

Daines' silence was louder than Carl's hate • Daily Montanan
Columnist Doug James said that Sen. Steve Daines' silence after the fiery Jeremy Carl Senate hearing was as bad as any view by the Bozeman-based think tank nominee.

With only nine months before the midterms, Trump is plotting to prevent Democrats from taking control of Congress.

But contrary to many doomsayers, it isn’t too late to protect the elections.

@marcelias.bsky.social shares three voting laws every blue state should enact to do so👇
It’s not too late for states and Congress to stop Trump from subverting the midterms

AIPAC is a shrill, partisan undertaking that is really now just a MAGA cell. Not only does it have no credibility, it is making it increasingly clear that many Dems (and others) will simply not vote for anyone who takes their money or does business with them. Which is fine by me.
Curious as to whether or not AIPAC genuinely thinks this line of attack will work

After watching a documentary about the horrors of industrial food production, Nicole and Dan Virgil decided to plant their own garden on their lawn.

It wasn't long until the city’s zoning board tried to shut them down.
They just wanted to grow food. Their suburban neighbors declared war.

Ok, sorry for the delay on this one, but I had to do extra research and networking on this one because, shocker, I don’t know everything about every department at SSA and phone rep training is not something I have had to do. Obviously this is not the correct way to handle this so let’s dive in. 😬😬😬

Look at YouTube videos of the Hong Kong protests in 2019-20. Brilliant strategies and execution.

He has a good point. For both effectiveness and safety, protesters need better organizational skills, true leadership, and preparation for countermeasures like rubber bullets, pepper spray, tear gas, and flash bangs. Hong Kong protesters used traffic cones and umbrellas.

Trump claims he wants a deal with Iran, not war. That’s B.S. We had a great deal with Iran on its nuclear program in 2015, but Trump tore it up and then bombed Iran last summer. Trump is a dangerous warmonger that must be stopped.

Courts have said Trump is incarcerating people illegally.
That means every ICE agent is a kidnapper and a murderer.
And every Corrections Worker is a Conspirator in kidnapping and murder.
Since we are getting all legalistic and all.
Whatever happens to them they brought on themselves.

Casting a vote in a polling station is a constitutionally protected right.

Murdering people in cold blood in the street is not.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, Mr. Emmer.
Emmer: "Another reform they claim they want is they want ICE agents to identify themselves, to show identification. But they don't want identification for voters in elections. I mean, this stuff is just intellectually inconsistent."

All I see on my Twitter timeline are reporters parsing every quote from AOC in Germany, trying to mock them for incoherence or inaccuracy, while a demented old man who can’t string sentences together or stay awake sits in the Oval, while the legacy media happily sanewashes his quotes.

We need to spend MORE in these areas across the country. Not less.
For the past 30+ years, Washington state spending has declined by 61% in K-12 education, 68% in higher education, and (since 1998) by 44% in social, health, and human services.
