Our #NoKings event in Reykjavík was in the press yesterday. Thank you to Vísir and Rúv for talking with us!

Verulega áhyggjufull og þorir ekki heim til Bandaríkjanna - Vísir

Veronica Fríða Callahan, hálfíslensk og hálfbandarísk kona, segir ekkert annað hafa komið til greina en að skipuleggja No Kings mótmæli hér á Íslandi í dag líkt og var gert í öllum ríkjum Bandaríkjann...

Today was a great reminder that Abrams is a generational talent and Atlanta generally just punches above weight

Let's finally get going on this. People may finally see that the dam has to break on 20th century thinking.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Yes. Good. More of this. Snatch your integrity back from the abyss, if you can.

Casey R @mundaetraversa.bsky.social · 5d

Wow. That's so calm and eerie. You could write a story about it

Listen to this while you're in the shower or driving to work, especially if you're under 40.

They are just. Stupid dumb-dumbs. An absolute diaperload of an administration. Impossible to respect.

When someone says "slacks and a blouse" I have literally no idea what that means

Casey R @mundaetraversa.bsky.social · 7d

Privileged ass posts from privileged ass people taking about "America is cooked" clearly can't see the American experience of resilience through any lens but their own. STFU and get in the frog costume GREG

Casey R @mundaetraversa.bsky.social · 7d

You know who stays in power forever? Literally nobody. No one. Ever. What comes next, and soon it comes, is entirely our own responsibility.

Why are these extremists obsessed with murdering dogs?

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified.

I was so fortunate to attend the Imagine Forum in Reykjavík today, featuring an array of impressive speakers. The highlight for me was getting to ask a personal hero of mine a question and hearing his thoughtful answer. Thank you to Vladimir Kara-Murza and everyone who spoke about the value of unity

I was thinking to myself throughout the debate that she was not representing the Marine Corps with even an ounce of self-respect. Not surprising, but it was a dismal display.

I've been looking forward to this conference. Thank you @haskoliislands.bsky.social for hosting this important conversation.

Sears repeatedly tried to bait her into irrelevant argumentation and Spanberger simply didn't allow her to control the conversation that way. It was impressive considering how relentlessly annoying Sears was.

Spanberger held it together well in an infuriating situation that would drive a lot of us into flying squirrel mode. She's the only candidate worthy of the historic role of Virginia governor.
