Indeed. As we've been saying @thepoliticsbar.bsky.social for most of this summer, this is a #GTFOelection - most people don't care about labels at this point. They'll vote for ANYONE who will get us the eff out of this mess that Trump & Repubs put us in.

New in PN: Democrats in array "The fact is Dems are ready to crawl across broken glass & over fields swarming with velociraptors to defeat the bloated fascist oligarch and his corrupt minions. And Dem politicians are responding to these incentives by focusing their ire on the crime boss president."

A busy election day Tuesday in Massachusetts. Besides Markey-Moulton, there are DA races & many legislative primaries between the left and the center (including against incumbent Dems who opposed the summer's abortion law). Oh, and a data center recall in MO. Explore: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

Erin Fogg says Free Link@criminalerin.bsky.social · yesterday

"...officers were at her pasture without notification or permission at 12.45am on Sunday, looking for a missing person when they encountered the small male donkey named HeeHaw. “They claimed he ran up to them braying & they thought they were in danger & shot & killed him after trying to taze him""

I’m curious, if “eggs expensive under Biden” was newsworthy, how come “Trump intentionally caused every single fucking thing to be heinously expensive” isn’t a story?
