O'DONNELL: Are we going to war against Venezuela?

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

The ad by the Ontario government on tariffs should be shared everywhere. One because it pisses the dictator off. Second because it is what Reagan said despite what the Reagan foundation says. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pABU...

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

One reason Dems should be sharing this and talking about it nonstop is because the key to dominating the public mind is media that evokes emotion. It’s how George Floyd started nationwide protests overnight. And it’s impossible to see this without feeling blind rage. Healthcare policy could never.

What's sad about this is that Disney recently produced Andor, which may be the best written show about fighting fascism and what happens when you don't, and then failed to understand their own content by capitulating to said fascist!

Irony is dead!
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

Sounds like these red state governors should get their own houses in order before sending their National Guard troops to DC.
Went ahead and updated my map of cities with higher crime than D.C. to accommodate the two new states from the Deep South who are sending troops to the capital. In the five states there are 64 cities, home to 1.7 million people, that had more crime in 2024 than D.C.

Re-upping this thread in light of Trump’s recent comments about how Putin told him he needed to end voting by mail to prevent Democrats from stealing elections. The anti-VBM movement is simultaneously a Russian op, a national GOP priority, and linked to state and local GOP election ratfuckers.
This story is a perfect encapsulation of the dysfunctional train wreck that is the OR GOP. It would be kind of a funny show to watch if these folks weren't also trying to undermine all public services in Oregon and leverage their ties to the Trump Administration to sabotage our vote by mail system.
Ben Edtl is working to save his job—and change the way Oregonians cast their ballots.

Research from New York City notes that newly installed protected bike lanes do more than keep bikers safe--they raise the income of the stores they are in front of.
