The whole point of the Bill of Rights is to protect the only true minority - the individual. It limits the governments power to harm the individual. The whole constitution is designed to limit the governments power.

“These people are serious. They really care about small businesses,” said Kelly, adding: “They get shit done.” This is the most solid gold of all the solid gold things you can say about a local politician - or any politician. Vote for people who give a shit about you and get shit done.

I think @govandybeshear.bsky.social should just appoint a Dem to fill McConnell’s seat. It would force proof of life, and the state law that stripped him of that power should be challenged in court. I’m sure Thune would refuse to seat the appointee, but I think it’s a fight worth having. BE BOLD!
Patriot Front was in DC for like two seconds for a photo op today because they were afraid of antifascists clowning and pants-ing them again, equating to timid and fearful showing on their part. They forgot some of their stickers but don't worry, Tommy, we took them down for you!
Instead of asking for people to not use their AC in the heatwave, how about turning off the data centers instead?
Please don't confuse socialism with the Soviets. Not the same thing.
First, the White House doesn't date back to July 4, 1776, idiot. It opened on November 1, 1800. Second, the tackiest man in the United States and its president should *not* be the same person. Third, nice inspiration, fascist.
Please read and call. Flood the zone.

Mandami has seen Arsenal win (22 years). Mandami has seen the Knicks win (53 years). Mandami has seen Leftists win in Brooklyn (many decades). Man literally can’t stop winning.
Just moments ago the President was supposed to sign a bipartisan housing bill here in the capital. Except, in a bizarre chapter, he didn’t and is a no show—because he says he’s mad at the Senate. Here’s what’s happening ⬇️👀
"Talkin' Bout a Revolution" (Tracy Chapman): An acoustic call to action that asserts the poor and marginalized will eventually rise up to demand their fair share of resources.
I continue to think that Mamdani’s inability to stop smiling really takes the sting out of this stuff “this man is destroying the country!” *smash cut to an extremely happy-looking Mamdani smiling like a dork* everyone else in this one looks quite nice too

If you look at Des’s face and think they look like a lovely human being, you are 100% correct. Absolute sweetheart who deserves none of this. None of them do.
Ryan Estrada@ryanestrada.com · last mo.A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.
My brother, if we win the Democratic Party primaries then we ARE the Democratic Party
Jaime Harrison@jaimeharrison.bsky.social · last mo.I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.
