We proved it in Wisconsin. We proved it in New York City. We proved it in dozens of special elections over the past year. People power over money!
Robert Reich@rbreich.bsky.social · 9h agoAbdul El-Sayed was outspent 9-to-1 by AIPAC and corporate Super PACs in the most expensive Senate Democratic primary of all time. Last night, he proved that organized people can beat organized money.
Yesterday Once More: Happy Birthday to President Obama 65 and Knicks in 5 🤩👊🏽

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Nightmare on Every Elm Street in America. Never vote Republican again. They love Nazism.
Bill Madden@maddenifico.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is New Jersey. The ridiculousness of these cosplaying ICE Nazis is off the charts.
Mitch McConnell’s communications director’s silence and smirk speak volumes. If he were fine, or even improving, she’d just say so. There’s no way this man is coming back.
Say what you will about Donald Trump, he knows how to get other people killed.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2d ago🚨 Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly attacked a U.S. military base in Kuwait with at least three drones, according to a source cited by The Jerusalem Post.
I am a terrible golfer. I never practice and I've played fewer than two dozen times. However, I've never hit a shot this poorly.

Election Truth Alliance@electiontruthalliance.org · 2d agoWe hear "make it simple" a lot. So that's what we're doing (while also continuing to work on those deep data reports too). We've published the ETA's 2026 Public Oversight Strategy to break down what really matters to have a near-term impact: electiontruthalliance.org/eta-public-o... 🧵
I'm sure America can do 500 mass shootings this year, easy. Thanks to the NRA and GOP. The only reason other Western democracies have low rates of gun homicides, no Republican party.
MassShootingTracker@massshootingtrk.bsky.social · 2d agoAmerica's gun psychopathy continues: *338 mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 4 people wounded — including a child — in Wade Co., N.C.: abc11.com/post/heavy-l...
Don’t forget: whatever the moron in chief talks about: lawns, reflecting pool, ballroom, Cuba, Greenland and whatever stupid memes he posts at night are mere distractions to make us forget the essentials: 1) He’s stuck in the world stupidest war he declared himself 2) the Epstein files
Whitehouse: "The last Q I'm left with is what's left of this committee? What's left when we don't demand straight answers? How many times has this DOJ been asked what became of the $50k the FBI reported it handed to Homan? ... our Republican colleagues see no evil, hear no evil, and speak no evil"
Cain will be remembered as one of the founders of that Super PAC, Suckers for Trump.

My mom and grandma told me about this. It happened in Los Angeles. The last streetcar ran in 1963.
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3d agoIs everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.
If Democrats ever manage to regain power, they need to dismantle Elon's government contracts. They also need to imprison him for election interference. Don't let the bad guys win.
The Liberal Curmudgeon@liberalcurmudgeon.bsky.social · 2d agoOur thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
The President of the United States is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, and an alleged paedophile.
If I had a dollar for every Republican lie, I'd be richer than Elon Musk.
