If they don't do a forensic audit of every single tabulation machine in america after the NY case gets proven, the mid terms won't mean shit

Little man Johnson does not need ONE democratic vote to pass a standalone bill to pay our military.

These are disgusting, despicable, human beings.

How many times do I have to say it?

A foreign military force using our facilities for training or storage is NOT THE SAME as a foreign country having sovereign power over land.

The Russian Embassy in DC is Russian soil for all intents and purposes, just like the U.S. Embassy in Brazil is US

Singapore already uses Mountain home base as a training facility, sounds like Qatar is doing the same.

Please correct me if I’m wrong but the entire airbase is not being given to Qatar right?

From what I can tell, this seems to be a similar agreement.

IT WAS ALL STAGED. IT WAS FAKE except for the one guy killed accidentally or maybe not, and then they killed the fake shooter. The shooter was not the person they said was the shooter. This entire thing was a sham.

When masked secret police are crashing into cars & violently pulling women out & beating them to a pulp with no warrant, answering to no one, this isn't democracy!

We have 1 chance to retake power—Prop 50!

If you care about our country, VOLUNTEER or DONATE.

WE NEED YOU!

reform is polling in the shit but being propped up by BBC every minute of the day

ppl see the US in farage

too many putin puppets and scandals happening with that party, and the libs are too busy trying to court the mods, leaving everyone who gives a fuck about actual issues to flock to the greens

Chris 🍁 @chrischoptain.bsky.social · 3h

have faith my friend, people will evntually vote in their self interest given fair districting

as example, people are flocking in droves to the green party in the UK right now

a move that was considered laughable 6 month ago

assuming democracy survives, then anything is possible

Radiation at this stage for my mom was about pain management, not curative efforts

I think next to Jimmy, Joe was truly the greatest humanist to ever sit in the oval office

how sad that people chose evil over compassion because...check notes....he was old

I think the plan was to step down at this

This just the dopiest take ever, the precise reason the Greens are doing so well + so popular now know is that they're precisely are being unashamedely left and socialist!

Duncan Muir @nacnudrium.bsky.social · 21h

I've joined the Green party, but please steer clear of all the factional bollocks, and you don't need to declare we're on "the Left" with a capital L. I know people who would be put off. Be distinct. It's the ideas and principles that matter. Thanks.

Politico: At a hearing yesterday to get Abrego Garcia out of immigration prison, his lawyers proved that ICE has made desultory attempts to deport him to Ghana, Uganda, and Eswaitini, all of whom refused. It’s all about ICE Barbie vowing Abrego Garcia would never walk the streets of America.
