I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal.
I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

I would one hundred percent call myself a Common Sense Democrat and vote a straight ticket of Common Sense Democrats challenging Democratic incumbents in the next primary elections.
AOC: What they like to call as radical, I believe is common sense.
I believe that when a person gets sick, they shouldn’t go bankrupt in the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Common sense
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live. Common sense...

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

JD Vance isn’t just hiding from the American people, he spent our tax dollars to rent out the entirety of Sugarbush Mountain all weekend and now he isn’t even using it. Like the wasteful, cowardly little toad he is. He should not be able to enjoy anything for the next 4 years.
Fox News reported that JD Vance had to move to an “undisclosed location” due to protests at the Vermont resort where he’s skiing this weekend. For inflicting misery on the world and here at home in America, this is exactly the energy that should greet Vance wherever he goes for the rest of his days.

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

“Tough guy” Schriver wants to tear apart families, but is too big a wimp to take questions at his own press event. @jeremymoss.bsky.social came to sit front and center and stare down bigotry. Real courage in the face of shameful cowardice.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.
800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.
There is a movement to be harnessed here.
