Every time we push back against attempts by the rich and powerful to shut us up, it encourages more of us to speak out. People power is a real thing. Use it!

it seems to me most likely that the whole tour will be canceled now as a result of Kraft’s intervention injecting his own politics into the event and Sheeran’s concession to it

wow. with this announcement, all of ed sheeran's openers for this tour have pulled out:

Lukas Graham, another support act on Ed Sheeran’s tour, also now withdrawing from the tour.

Some Dems are running away from trans people. Abdul El-Sayed, Dem Senate Candidate in Michigan, is running towards them. When asked, he fully and unequivocally support trans youth care as a matter between parents, patients, and doctors. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Don Jr complains of “enriched elites” who benefit while normal people suffer

If you owe a woman $5 million dollars for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation. It's that simple.

I wish our government would go after pedophiles like they go after brown men headed to work at 7 am. I wish they would close billionaire tax loopholes like they close our public schools. I wish they would fund healthcare like they fund forever wars in the Middle East.

I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026

Simply *not* being a virulent transphobe is now a very very good indicator that you really do disagree with the party full of sexual predators, billionaire freaks, and thieves. You would think an opposition party would *want* such a strong and consistent indicator that they actually do oppose.

In the months after the 2024 election a lot of Democrats said/did a lot of things to fight the last war that poisoned them with the base, like Seth Moulton’s transbashing and Angie Craig’s vote for the Laken Riley Act. Didn't work out well for either.

J.D. Vance killed this young man. bsky.app/profile/reic...

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social · 2w ago

Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor. His blood is on their hands.

Why would they do this? What could be their objective in elevating the association with a largely unknown figure who holds no office over the tight association the other candidate has with the toxically unpopular President? It makes you think about what theyre trying to achieve.

Mike Rogers just held a rally where he hugged Donald Trump, embraced him on stage. Did any of you hear about that? The media wants you to think that Rogers' association with the President is less relevant for the public to be informed about than Abdul El-Sayed's association with a Twitch streamer.

New EPIC MRA poll shows Trump’s approval has sunk to 30 percent in Michigan

Does media coverage of this race reflect that Mike Rogers is viewed less favorably by voters and has more ground to make up than Abdul El-Sayed? If not, why not? What do the news media have to gain by covering it the other way?

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 3w ago

The most eye-popping part of the new EPIC-MRA poll of Michigan, which has Dems leading by an identical 4 points in the Gov and Sen races: Rogers has a disastrous fave rating (29/40), perhaps a leftover of the 2024 Senate race he lost. El-Sayed & Benson are +1, & James is -5.

Trump: A nation cannot be first on Earth if we're going to be second in space. It just doesn't work that way. It... eh, it makes sense. I was going to say, does it make sense? I guess it does, when you think about it

We are a broken nation. Hundreds of thousands of Haitians were living and working legally, paying taxes, and contributing. Haiti remains wholly unsafe. But Trump hates Haitians, and the White House wanted videos of Black people in chains, so they stripped them of status and turned on the cameras.

NEW: Victor Marx's campaign won't say where supporters' money goes when they buy campaign merch or $1300 meetings with Marx himself. Our investigation linked the online shop to an out-of-state company with hidden owners. Then we found a document revealing the owner: Victor Marx.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.
