Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

This is why, every time I hear weak-knee Dems or Dem pundits/consultants talking about how they can appeal to Trump voters, I get irrationally angry. The goal isn’t to embrace racists and fascists. The goal is to provide the alternative that lets voters kick racists and fascists into the wilderness.
It has long been clear that unalloyed racism lies at the core of Trumpism, and he is becoming increasingly explicit about this.

Trying to distract from the release of a notorious child sex trafficker's files because you're probably in them by threatening to kill your political opponents because they encouraged soldiers to uphold their oaths to the Constitution is quite the political PR move.

I know people are starting to purchase things for the holidays so I'm bumping this thread. Use it to find independent artists to purchase from! Cut off the billionaires! Support people who make things!
It's the time of year again -- time to do your holiday shopping from independent artists. It's more important than ever to support people actually making stuff!

If you're an artist or craftsperson of any kind, please reply to this with what you make and a link to your store and I'll share it!

It’s as simple as this
the only thing democrats should be saying today is “the entire republican party is engaged in a coverup of the most notorious child sex trafficking ring in world history”

Not for nothing but it seems wild in a country so full of wealth and opportunity that ~10% of the population is relying on government assistance just to eat. Seems like a bad system.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

I think AOC should take the test on camera to humiliate Trump. Trump and his imbecile cronies should be an opposition party's dream

lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Portland is ... right there. It's a real place. People live in it. People can go look at it. You could call someone there right now.
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

PDX Pop Now! turned 21 last weekend! We need free, all ages fests like this now more than ever! The three-day event was packed with a kooky-good lineup of local music, food, and activities 😍

Check out our breakdown of last weekend's party below, see you next year 😎
PDX Pop Now! Is an Epic Celebration of Portland's Eclectic Music Communities
Festival coordinators faced a big, silly problem the first night of PDX Pop Now! 2025: They were already running low on silly straws. “The Jurassic Sunset” and “DinoSour”—custom cocktails for this yea...

If ICE protesters started dressing like the ICE kidnappers, that would make for a confusing situation. If some of the ICE guys are not going to wear insignia and put masks on, what’s to stop protesters dressing the exact same way. Just a thought…

It would be really a thing if DC's working people and LA's unionized talent did a walkout on the same day. Just a day, for starters.
