I hope everyone reading my words learn something to help combat the ignorance they find in their own life. And then i hope they get a chuckle out of gifs and memes.

Facts are facts: Right-wing extremists account for the overwhelming majority of extremist-linked deaths in America.

At an internal NASA townhall acting director Sean Duffy said that getting to the moon was "manifest destiny to the stars." Who wants to bet that he understands the implications of that phrase but doesn't actually care.

I am baffled by the Washington Post's sanitized framing of this story. The Supreme Court is clearly going to "rule on the law" -- that is what courts do! The news is that SCOTUS signaled that it might gut the VRA entirely.

Compare WaPo and Democracy Docket's headlines. Which source do you trust?

All Biden had to do…NOPE.

All Harris had to do…NOPE.

All you had to do was vote against the man that literally said he was going to be a dictator on day one.

Fuck all the other sideshow bs…he literally told you what he was going to do.

Him saying that should have been the only messaging needed.

This is wonderful and should be nationally done at every level!
Ranked choice voting is coming to DC!
 
I was proud to vote for @chenderson.bsky.social and @brianneknadeau.bsky.social's amendment to fund Initiative 83 and expand choice in District elections.
 
This is a win for fairer elections and upholding the will of the voters.

"I think it's hard for them to not endorse. I really do. He's the Democratic nominee... Let's give him the benefit of the doubt...the word 'socialist' gets people scared.'

Ex-Dem senator Doug Jones criticizes Schumer, Jeffries etc for not endorsing Mamdani.

The contempt the Corporatist Dems have for their own base is appalling. The rank & file dems voted for Mamdani in their primary, he is who they wanted. Get in line and "vote blue no matter who" as you pleaded in 2024.
Asked if he'll endorse Zohran Mamdani, Democratic congressman Gregory Meeks of New York replies: "I'm not sure yet."

So Schumer and Jeffries (both from NY) declined to endorse the Democrat that the Democrat voters put on the Democrat ticket for NY mayor. And there are rumors that donors are looking to instead back Cuomo as an independent.
Democratic establishment melts down over Mamdani's win in New York
Establishment Democrats looking to recover from 2024's losses fear Mamdani could hurt the party's brand nationally — while young progressives believe his formula could spread beyond New York.

We inch closer and closer to a confrontation that will end in deaths, riots, and the trigger to all out civil unrest; the "shot heard 'round the world." When the people are more angry than they are afraid, and can no longer afford apathy, the country will break.

So why not have a retirement age in Congress? Not even getting into the ramifications of trying to read, understand, and debate laws that affect millions of people while having cognitive decline (Dianne Feinstein), this Ugly budget bill passed by 1 vote because 3 Dems have died since March.
