I am passionate about democracy, equality, public education and the ethics of those in elected office. I am inspired by Ukraine and all who fight authoritarianism. I enjoy travel, history, new tech, old cars, music & golf. Yes, I have dry sense of humor.
Sen. Eric Schmitt is evil or a fool. Share this video with all your Republican friends & family, and *anyone* you know in #Missouri.
Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social · 17h agoA phenomenal moment in the Senate. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., claims he has evidence Jack Smith went to a HAWKS game in Atlanta. Smith denies it. Schmitt declares he has busted Jack Smith for perjury. Smith, vexed, says he went to HAWKEYES game in Maryland. WATCH IN FULL, UNINTERRUPTED
Un- and under-regulated capitalism kills people.

It's all about the money. Like other billionaires, Republican candidates can get BIG$ donations from AI executives/corporations if they ignore constituents and play along. Fox News will eventually convince the GOP base that they need AI and datacenters. #FoxNews #AI
Media Matters for America@mmfa.bsky.social · 13h agoWhat began as a moral panic over Silicon Valley censorship has turned into a desperate campaign to douse the flames of a conservative grassroots rebellion against AI data centers.
The Republican supermajority of the #SCOTUS is a rubber stamp for Trump and his eventual Republican replacement. This cruelty is intentional and now legally blessed. #Immigration #Border #Racism

Republicans want a military dictatorship.
Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com · 22h agoRep. Mike Collins, the Trump-endorsed GOP candidate for Georgia’s U.S. Senate seat, said he was “fine” with the idea of federal troops at voting sites. In reality, deploying armed federal agents to polling places isn’t “fine” — it’s illegal: https://demdock.com/4ykNqzg
We all have limits. I had been a legit independent before #WBush, sometimes voting R, other times D. After WBush lied about nukes to justify an invasion & occupation, the worst abuse of power in my lifetime - and Republicans *nominated* him again - I’ve never voted for another Republican.
But Trump is a con man and pathological liar. So there’s that, too.
This has been the Republican playbook for *decades*. Since we know what they are going to say, how do we prevent it from convincing millions of voters?

Acyn@acyn.bsky.social · 2d agoAcosta: I think he is in full freak-out mode, sort of like that German movie Downfall, where the Allied forces are advancing on Berlin… I’m almost picturing Trump in sort of the same mindset right now. You know, “This poll says this, sir. This poll says that, sir,” and he’s losing his shit.
A Democratic spoiler funded by Republican billionaires and Russian oligarchs.

I’m voting like Trump is on the ballot. Since Congressional Republicans are his enablers, Trump may as well be on the ballot.
Trump keeps screwing farmers. Will they finally push back?
There’s a reason Republicans are fighting for their lives in farm states.
