Recommend everyone block this racist lady whose whole raison d’être is NOT returning stolen Indigenous remains. Don’t engage, she came over here because she misses disrespecting you.

Ruby Bridges and John Roberts would have been in the same grade!! It's not that subtle why he's devoted his life to re-establishing segregation!

I refuse to believe that Larry Summers' expertise and skills are indispensable in any way. Please find another economist and policy expert, @americanprogress.bsky.social. There are loads out there.

I like to imagine there's a room at the Vatican that Leo has converted into a South Side Chicago sports bar, and he hangs all the jerseys on the wall so he can be surrounded by them as he watches the White Sox and sips Old Style

Not for nothing, this is one reason why we say "pregnant patient" instead of "woman." It's not just for non-binary inclusion.
In addition to the fact that it's very much the power imbalance and legal responsibility to protect them that makes them children, it's also disturbing that so many people are willingly like "listen, 15 year olds are hot, and that's a fact." They are children. They look like children.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

The latest episode of my podcast Collateral Damage is up today.
When we started this project a few years ago, we had no idea how timely this episode would be.
It's about Veronica and Charity Bowers, a mother and daughter killed in 2001 when the CIA and Peruvian Air Force shot down their plane.

Episode Six: Airborne Imperialism
A U.S.-led program killed Veronica and Charity Bowers in Peru after mistaking their plane for drug smugglers. Trump’s Venezuela boat strikes make their deaths newly and urgently relevant.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

i don’t think the main problem with the american church is “too many of them refuse to be scammed by a lady who is obviously lying.”
There is a lady on TikTok pretending to have a baby that has gone without formula all night — she is calling churches around the country to ask if they can help.
Some of them are really embarrassing themselves. Especially the mega-churches.

Hey, MSP. I got mine. Do you have yours?
A local 3D printing company has been printing these amazing whistles.
Can you help us buy out their printing capacity this week? That gets another 1000+ whistles into responder’s hands.
They cost approximately 50 cents apiece, and are sturdy and Minneapolis made!

Rosa @delauro.house.gov is one of the only House offices with the deep expertise necessary here, she is the top Dem House appropriator and a genuine champion for poor folks — "until that money ends up in people's pockets, this nightmare is not over."
The Trump administration has “agreed” to fully fund SNAP benefits, after being ordered to do so by a federal court. Until that money ends up in people’s pockets, this nightmare is not over.
If food assistance is distributed, it'll be despite Trump’s efforts, not because of them.

It’s not framed this way, but what they’re demanding is that people in cities like NYC refuse to address their issues to privilege the politics of “flipping red and purple seats blue,” which they haven’t even demonstrated an ability to do.
![Screenshot of article that reads: “A Mamdani victory is a serious political problem for those in the party who believe, as we do, that our primary focus must be on flipping red and purple seats blue, expanding the map for Democrats, and creating a path back to Congress and the White House,” Matt Bennett, executive vice president of center-left think tank Third Way, told MSNBC. “The [Democratic Socialists of America] platform — which Mamdani has not repudiated — hands a potent set of weapons to Republican ad makers eager to tie Mamdani-style politics to Democrats running in much tougher places than deep blue New York.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ozma3timm5c32fa7bimb4zaj/bafkreidedpbe5cweyx6x5pz66ypn74fumifyvinjjr4prysjpvopaqi4vi@jpeg)
