CALIFORNIA: “The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s controversial plan to change how mail ballots are sent to voters across the country, rebuffing a proposal that election officials warned would have had catastrophic consequences...” www.cnn.com/2026/09/14/p... (H/T @gavinnewsom.bsky.social )
The GOP, we thought, USED to care about our military and veterans. They don't anymore.
Alliance Against Gun Violence and Gun Violence Ticker.@gunviolenceticker.bsky.social · 2w agoMy blood ran cold watching this.
what in the F is this crap? Like all people on this Earth, there are good Jews and bad Jews. Please know the difference. Wow...ffs. I have confidence the majority on this planet are NOT like this.

Funding for USDA cyclospora research has been eliminated www.politico.com/news/2026/08... The CDC says over 17k got sick from cyclospora this summer—& the FDA is investigating multiple outbreaks, including one that sickened more than 11k across 20 states. Who’d trust this data? Or our food safety?!
USDA cyclospora research projects shelved amid funding cuts and relocations
The shuttering of three projects is expected to hinder vital research at a time when consumers are increasingly worried about the safety of the food supply.

we're not going to have free and fair elections anymore, folks.

Hunter Biden has officially run out of f*cks to give and I LOVE IT! 🔥#SheShed
Part of the endless double-standard: GOP folk can do no wrong, despite being pedophiles, and high/low-level criminals, but Democrats police themselves, so they usually get caught and prosecuted. What a completely unfair, unequal governance/civilization we have.
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 3w agoRon and Cassie DeSantis: These two crooks stole $10 million from a settlement with a charity, wired it to Cassie’s fake “charity,” laundered it through two puppet organizations, and then used it for political ads in an election year. They should be in jail.
As soon as Trump loses his power, these bodies of water will revert back to their centuries old names. I hope you can enjoy some deep sea fishing or speedboat racing while you can! See ya in 65 days...
MAGA, are you aware that the official names are still the GULF OF MEXICO and LAKE ONTARIO. Google & Apple are being extorted into making Trump's petulant SHARPIE CHANGES on their apps. The digital changes CHANGE nothing.
I see... about a 20-30% push for FAR-left-wing politics on this platform. Not 100%, not 50%. Revolutions against those who are fighting fascists seems... abjectly stupid, even if you feel they "aren't tough enough." Can't win over far-RIGHT people w/more LEFT. This is a democracy.
Do we really want to break-up the establishment Dems because somehow THEY are responsible for MAGA, or evil "centrists?" All or nothing? Divided we conquer? How will farther LEFT candidates win over farther RIGHT voters? If you break-up the Democratic Party, it's over.
icookfood2023.bsky.social@icookfood2023.bsky.social · last mo.Whew, if you have time go check out the in your face racism from leftist, progressive, DSA in the comments. Never question why Black voters don’t get behind any aspects of that movement. 😒 www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8ncFkod/
and... apparently, we're "OK" with it. This isn't the line, eh? So, what is? Not much left to do... mass murder, perhaps...?
All In with Chris Hayes@allinwithchris.bsky.social · last mo.The New York Times reports that DHS used subpoenas, financial records, and undercover surveillance to target unions and activist groups in Minnesota—including organizations never accused of crimes.
They think our military personnel are just resources for them to "PLAY WITH." That's how fascists operate. That's how Germany lost the war, if you want a weird, but likely accurate comparison! How much do they have to destroy before we finally stop them?
Johnathan Perkins, Esq.@johnathanperk.bsky.social · last mo.Wait so, you’re suggesting Drunk Pete’s time as a tv personality did NOT prepare him to be Defense Secretary the way General Lloyd Austin’s Silver Star, 5 Distinguished Service Medals and unique distinction of commanding combat at the 1, 2, 3 and 4-star levels prepared him for same under Pres Biden?
Hegseth... the most moronic, unqualified tool ever in charge of our DEFENSE. No, it's not "WAR," it's DEFENSE, and he's all but decimated our ability to defend ourselves! If we want to become a 3rd World nation, just let him keep screwing things up.
Chuck Schumer@schumer.senate.gov · last mo.When Pete Hegseth was nominated, everyone knew he was completely incompetent. Now our brave sailors are paying the price in a horrific and unfathomable way. Pete Hegseth must be fired immediately.
The Defense secretary claimed that reports about conditions on the USS Abraham Lincoln “completely misrepresented” reality.

we're past "too late." The question now, is how quickly is everything going to tank? It's looking like pretty damned soon. Hope it was worth it for the handful of idiots who made all that ****ing money.

The Lincoln Project@lincolnproject.us · 2mo agoThis is a very big deal. Donald Trump is screwing with seniors on fixed incomes, causing them to pay more for drugs they need to stay alive. https://www.wsj.com/health/healthcare/trump-administration-to-end-medicare-drug-plan-subsidy-76d255d1
I'm owed thousands. I'll never, ever see it. I'm a consumer. We all got ****ed. Theft in plain sight.
#VeryAsian Eric@ektaka.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis is price gouging facilitated by the government unless all corporations who collect that tariff money refund are forced to open up a portal allowing their customers to claim refunds. Otherwise, corporations are indeed just being paid off to keep their mouth shut about Trump's illegal tariffs.
