“ANOTHER SOCIAL MEDIA POST BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES” Yeah, that about sums it up.

Does arresting the wife of an enlisted man and mother of four US citizen children, a person who’s been here since she was 6 years old, make our country great again?

NEW: ICE is trying to deport a mother of 4 while her husband is at Fort Benning in Army basic training. When she went to pick up the family's military IDs, Navy personnel turned her over to ICE. She's been in the US since age six. With @nancyayoussef.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Saw ANOTHER person say my indictment was the best thing to happen to my campaign. Let me be clear: It severely limited what I could say, where I could go, and what I could do. I had to worry about prison AND legal fees for myself AND my (amazing) field director. Political prosecutions aren’t fun.

THE READERS DEMAND MORE OF THIS COMIC!

@gailsimone.bsky.social inspiring a new generation: Daughter and I were talking comics and I told her about Gail's work. She drew this and said she wants to be a comic writer and artist to "tell my own stories" just like "your cool friend* Gail" *she doesn't understand social media

I always have mixed feelings about these images. Yes, it's inspiring to see these college students committed to democracy, but the fact that they have to do anything remotely difficult to exercise their voting rights is enraging. Taking part in a democracy should be as easy as possible.

This is just beautiful to see

It sure would be great to not have a bigoted piece of shit be the top Senate Dem anymore.

Truthout@truthout.org · 3d ago

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

I don’t have enough toys

Hi, if you’re new here I should probably warn you that I am currently even more unhinged than usual and will continue to be so at least until the election has been fully certified. After that, I will hopefully get to be a person who sleeps and has friends again.

Literally this:

HERE IS YOUR CAMPAIGN SLOGAN, competitive Senate races.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 3d ago

While Democrats raised more than Republicans in the most competitive Senate races, GOP megadonors have rushed in to fill the gap. Elon Musk gave $278 million between July and September to groups working to protect Republicans’ majorities in Congress.

85ºF. The closest early voting place took young, lively students 45 minutes to march to. An hour and 1/2 to get on line at the polls and turnaround to go home. Some folks aren't up to that exertion in the heat. In NYC – I walk 3 blocks to a poll. Everyone should have convenient access to voting.

Students from North Carolina A&T can be seen marching back to their HBCU after voting on the first day of early voting in the state. The Guilford County Board of Elections voted to remove the school’s on-campus polling site. (video via Todd Simmons) greensboro.com/news/local/g...

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

A public archive of Department of Justice news releases and related court filings concerning prosecutions from the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

The nicest thing I have to say about Josh Kaul as AG is that Eric Toney would be worse. 🙃

Trump shouts out Russ Vought and then says, ominously, "we have some big surprises coming up in a few weeks, right Russ? He's gonna be one of the important people in the history of our country."

absolutely insane to me that "vegan cat food" is a thing that exists. you are whole ass abusing your cat doing that shit man its biology does not abide by human morals you are straight up killing your pet

~Approximately no one in the general public knows because the leaders of the R1 research universities - whose budgets, programs, & personnel are entirely or significantly dependent on federal funding - have been totally absent from the public square in explaining & collectively protesting this.

I don’t think everyone realizes how bad things are for US science: For the fiscal year that just ended, the Trump regime withheld $1.4 billion from the National Science Foundation’s research budget, which is about 1/5 of its primary research budget.

4% are sitting congressmen and SCOTUS justices.

wonderful reminder of the funniest dynamic of the mayoral race, where sliwa clearly liked mamdani and was delighted to see him humiliate cuomo also, more politicians should do this! get your flu shots!

"I'm supposed to be a tough guy," Curtis confided. "I can hold your hand," the mayor offered "What happens if I faint?" Sliwa asked. "I've got you," Mamdani assured him, grabbing his hand as Sliwa received his flu shot. abc7ny.com/post/nyc-may...

Trump’s ballroom must be instantly torn down for rule of law, fire code hazards, damnatio memoriae, and symbolic reassertion that We the People are sovereign. But also clearly for national security. Like the bribe plane from Qatar, we know foreign interests are involved but don’t know all they did.

If a man was at a party with a dozen women and he got so intoxicated that he couldn't function, he'd be about as safe as anyone could be because 99 times out of 100 the women would look after him and see that he got home safely.
