American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

The teeny tiny No Kings things in very red areas are so huge
Say like five or six people show up. None of them knew each other before. Suddenly they’re all friends. And maybe from that you get a group that does longer-term organizing that can punch *way* above its weight considering where it is

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

My wife and I are privileged to be on vacation in Italy right now, and here in Genoa, the police have shut down the highways along with all the transportation hubs to accommodate protests of Israel intercepting the relief flotilla bound for Gaza. This is what civilized society looks like. #freegaza

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

In just four counties in Central Texas--Hayes, Williamson, Bexar, and Kerr--700,000 people voted for Vice President Harris.
Just those four counties had more votes for VP Harris than the total votes for her in 14 states and D.C.
I understand you're angry, but that anger is very misplaced.

I wish it wasn't the case, but liberals are running out of empathy. We just can't keep caring about people that don't care about us.
I'm truly sorry for the families affected by this, but we have so many problems and only liberals care about actual solutions.

Your regular reminder that most people in this country can't afford to move to another state and the inclination to say they're getting what they voted for in the devastation of a hurricane or flood or whatever the hell is a failure of common sense and empathy on multiple levels.

The U.S. Senate is currently considering a budget reconciliation bill that quietly includes language that could devastate our public lands. It would:
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land
- Make over 250 million acres of public land eligible for sale
- Mandate the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and BLM land

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.
