We don't talk enough about how batshit crazy it is that President Trump doesn't do any kind of community service as POTUS. Won't even serve a meal at Thanksgiving or visit troops and serve them abroad. This is not normal behavior for a supposed public servant. Why? Because he thinks he's the king.

Interesting that Threads shadowbanned my post from ProPublica this morning highlighting big tech and Noem's corruption with the Trump Administration.
Just shows that we can't trust to get our messages out to each other on these platforms and we need to organize locally as well.

Reminder, Trump is having a really really bad week and we are having a pretty damn good one. of course that means all you’re gonna see on social media is people trying to diminish it. That is by design. Just ignore them.
The more attention we give them the more successful they are.

The 2024 election already decided that ACA would be gutted when people didn't show up for Harris and gave Trump the White House and a majority in both chambers.
Don't take the bait and blame Democrats now when they're literally the minority party.

Ignore people farming for clicks by claiming Dems were wrong to keep the filibuster. We would be in the same exact position today and the senate GOP would also be passing bills to restrict abortion, voting, and more.

Our roadmap to a Democratic majority: We need to say that the common thread is all these leaders (whether socialist, centrist, ex-GOP) want to help people and make their lives better. We need a big tent united around this common cause. I'm sick of infighting. Our differences are minimal.

We are against blatant corruption and we believe the US government is obligated to protect citizens from bad actors and make peoples' lives better. That's what will make this country great.

They do this cause they know the bill is terrible for their states & districts. So they post a tweet opposing it, then fold right after. That way, come election time, they can claim they “fought it.”
99% of the time, that fight was complete BS.

The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

Are you Gen X or Millennial? Well congratulations because the BBB will drain you and your family of all your assets with the slashes to Medicare and Medicaid funding so you will be selling off your family assets and retirement for end of life and retirement care.

The wildest part about us getting banned on instagram and threads and all meta platforms without warning or explanation is not even being able to get in touch with a human being about it.

I saw that @thetnholler.bsky.social was banned on Meta platforms with no reason given. This happened to me on June 15 after a month of getting high engagement for pro-Democratic Party and anti-MAGA posts from my personal account (not even verified). Meta is anti-free speech.

Angels GM Perry Minasian is in Year 5 running this team and they have a .441 winning percentage in his tenure.
At what point is he held equality accountable with Arte Moreno for the Angels failures?
@samblum3.bsky.social I’ll take the answer on the radio, thanks.
