"Let's call it what it is: a calculated effort to silence communities, which is voter suppression."

North Carolinians at the legislature spoke powerfully against the discriminatory gerrymandering scheme pushed by GOP politicians.

Add your voice! Tell politicians: NO gerrymanders - ccnc.me/cd1

"The largest group of immigrants arrested in the interior and currently detained by ICE (16,523) are people with no criminal record at all. (Being present in the U.S. unlawfully is a civil immigration law violation punishable by deportation — not a federal crime punishable by jail.)" - Yahoo News

The WH belongs to the people, not DT. This is wrong on every level. He does not own this building and can not make changes to it without voter permission. This needs to be stopped.

Costco is beloved for many reasons, not least a particularly stellar food-court deal: a hot dog and soda for $1.50. When a reporter asked the company’s former C.E.O. what it would mean if the price were raised, he replied, “That I’m dead.”

Can the Golden Age of Costco Last?

With its standout deals and generous employment practices, the warehouse chain became a feel-good American institution. In a fraught time, it can be hard to remain beloved.

If all 7 million people from around the country that were in the streets on Saturday were to MARCH ON WASHINGTON and DEMAND that DEMOLITION STOP, and that QUALIFIED People like Nate Berkus were to take over and FIX the WHITE HOUSE back to its ORIGINAL DESIGN, then the NATION would FEEL BETTER.

"Buckley's Chance", huh

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 3d

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

🚨There's new polling showing Sherrod Brown winning the Senate race in Ohio.

Let's be clear: we *can* flip the Senate in 2026, but we're gonna need to break record-high youth turnout and persuade Gen Z.

Can you chip in to help us do that? 👇

Quite the truth bomb.

A tweet from Ron Filipkowski reads: “After Republicans predicted violence all week from Antifa domestic terrorists this weekend, it turns out the most dangerous place to be on Saturday was the location that JD Vance was filming his TikTok.” The tweet is a sarcastic comment contrasting political predictions of violence with an incident involving JD Vance.
