It's just occurred to me that maybe leftists do not realize that dictators don't care what the people want. That's their whole deal. Because they've acted like democracy is just a "nice to have" and haven't really seemed to get why we have to first preserve democracy, before we can get any policy.

Hawaii just enacted a law that effectively neuters Citizens United. Montana could soon follow suit via a ballot referendum. Here's what you should know about the plans to get Big Money out of politics — and how they could be replicated where you live.

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.
The agent, Jonathan Ross, was dragged by a vehicle and injured during a June operation in the Twin Cities, court records show.

In which we learn that the US attorneys office concluded that Trump traveled on Air Epstein regularly without appearing in he passenger manifest.
MORE/ Here is the note, which never reached its intended recipient—and by the time it was sent back to the jail Epstein was at, he was already mysteriously dead. Assuming (quite reasonably) that Epstein's mail was being read, this will make *many* believe Trump had him murdered.
(📢) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: We have the text of the note referenced by Rolling Stone, and in it Epstein makes among the last words he committed to paper the revelation that Trump was obsessed with "young, nubile girls" and regularly sexually assaulted them.

The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that the human rights of a transgender weightlifter were violated when USA Powerlifting refused to let her compete as a woman at two of their events held in Minnesota, but elements of the lawsuit remain unsettled.
In nuanced opinion, state Supreme Court rules transgender weightlifter’s human rights were violated
The opinion leaves open the question of whether USA Powerlifting had a legitimate business reason to not allow JayCee Cooper to compete as a female at two weightlifting events in Minnesota.

Disney/ABC just caved & pulled Jimmy Kimmel for political reasons. Nexstar — which owns The CW + 200+ local ABC, NBC, CBS & FOX stations — is part of the same machine. 💥 Boycott Disney. Boycott Nexstar. Boycott their advertisers. Hit them where it hurts: the $$$.
We’re going to get a lot of the dumbest people in the world making excuses for a guy trying to burn Jews alive.
Holy fuck.

This is why it's so important for the Democrats to say I TOLD YOU SO as loudly as they can. Trump's betrayal of his supporters won't push them to support Democrats. Democrats must scream and holler to get their attention.

Micah Hyde has signed to the Buffalo Bills' practice squad. The former All Pro safety joins a safety room with Taylor Rapp, Damar Hamlin, and Cole Bishop. Sean McDermott says that none of the current safeties' role is changing at the current moment.
#BillsMafia Men, a serious question for you. I’m scrolling thru Prime & saw Indecent Proposal, that movie where Redford pays to fuck Woody’s wife, Demi Moore, & it got me thinking. If Josh Allen propositioned you to sleep with your wife, would you say yes before or after he finished the question?
Josh Allen has infected Amari Cooper with his Josh Allen-ness
Which is your favorite Josh Allen Touchdown from this season so far? 1. Air Allen - Week 1 vs #Cardinals 2. Check Mate - Week 11 vs #Chiefs 3. SuperMan - Week 13 vs #49ers #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #GoBills #BuiltinBuffalo
Pardon Hunter? GREAT. Now pardon everybody else. Every prosecutor, every Biden administration staffer, every media figure, everybody Trump will persecute. 10,000,000 pardons. At least.
For all of you who think every time you see a Bills game, Buffalo is buried in the snow as well….I live 10 miles from the stadium in Buffalo and this is outside my house today. Go Bills #BillsMafia

Walz is amazing, and the only silver lining to him not becoming VP was him coming home to all of us in MN ❤️
Happy Thanksgiving Bluesky! Right now I don’t feel all that thankful for anything in my life other than my kids but I am most assuredly thankful for Bluesky and all of you awesome people.
