$40 billion could modernize water systems in every lead-poisoned town in the US and bring high-speed internet to rural America, but instead it's going towards bailing out Argentina

I'M TIRED OF "LIBERAL" BEING USED AS AN INSULT.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU THE VOTE.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU EQUALITY.
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU FREE SPEECH
LIBERALISM GAVE YOU YOUR INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
LIBERALISM IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS, AND I'LL BE FOREVER PROUD TO DEFEND IT.

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

You want your own Super Bowl halftime show, because you don’t agree with selected entertainment. Only colonizers think and act like this to oppress others.
Explain to me why I’m wrong.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Two heavily armed “police” just entered the restaurant i’m lunching at—and I suspect they are ICE.

They are sitting right behind me.

North Carolina National Guard members are essential to keeping our state and our country safe. Today 841 NC National Guardsmen did not receive their scheduled paychecks and must continue work without pay through the federal government shutdown. That’s unacceptable.

Keeping an eye on our planet's recent temperature trend and variability (12-month running mean). Many of the temporary peaks and dips are related to upper ocean heat anomalies in the Pacific (like ENSO).
