It’s gone from bad to worse. The DNC is being driven into a ditch, and no one is going to donate until they get their messaging act together.
A reminder from Joan Baez that the trump administration is ending funding for attorneys and advocates who help immigrant children on July 31st.
Trump is rolling out yet another key plank of Project 2025: privatizing airport security. History has shown us time and again this makes both workers and passengers less safe. Everything is for sale under Trump.

As a well recognized D in an R area I must insist that only by courageously standing up and speaking out can we ever be Free. Ds have supported both a black man and a woman and it has been repaid by complaint and hatred. Have You ran for a local or state office? Posting here is easy.
Dan@djlane.bsky.social · 21h agoThey have done NOTHING for decades. I have watched them. They just don’t go on the offensive. No more Moderates! We need action, not strongly worded statements. Why aren’t they educating the populace? Why aren’t the rallying the masses? Why aren’t we asking them the questions? Please do.

Warning: the President of the United States is kidnapping American citizens off the streets of blue states. Some of them return —most do not. Some are murdered in concentration camps owned by the President’s cronies. All of it is one big fat crime. None of our electeds will stop him. Will you?
The “Why would a woman I’ve made worry that I will hurt her if she displeases me cook to placate me?” question is only asked by the least self-aware domestic abusers.

Excellent resource during these times. Food pantries are swamped after Trump’s SNAP cuts from his Big Beautiful Bill for Billionaires Tax Cuts. Trump also cut giving government overages to the food pantries. Gear up! More SNAP cuts after the midterms! #Blues

The charges against the 3 individuals who were accused of vandalizing the reflecting pool have been dropped. Altho many of us thought the charges were baseless, the experience could have not been less than horrific for them. Such wasted time, energy, & resources.

I'm going to alienate some people now. Abortion is a critical part of gynecological care. Full stop. Hormonal birth control is used by many individuals simply to regulate difficult menstrual cycles. Legislators who don't understand the minutiae of reproductive biology should SHUT THE FUCK UP.
May his death be painful. May the worms spit him out. May his grave be defecated on daily. May his descendants be cursed with lifelong crotch lice. May his name elicit angry spits of disgust for eternity & cause the superstitious to cross themselves. #JustDieAlready
I think that everyone should watch this video. So often people blame victims. As someone who was sexually assaulted, and was a victim of child abuse, it's particularly irksome to me. There's a lot to be gained from learning about rhetoric, logic and fallacies.

Cornyn and Thune got something for their retirement, probably a cushy lobbying gig. We must stop believing the words that come out of these Senators mouths. They'll say whatever they need to say. They get offered a subsidy (waste) for their State, or a job in their retirement, and they vote 99.3 %.
