I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Timothy Mellon of the famous Pittsburgh Mellon family is the one who provided $130 million to pay US military personnel.

His views on social safety nets are that Democrats “buy” votes by providing government funds to pay for food for infants.

i think i would honestly find this whole discourse more tolerable if people simply said what they were actually saying, which is that they think the Democratic Party is too associated with femininity (and secondarily, with black people) and that they want to correct this

So much talk about "working-class" voters becomes a discussion of how to accommodate and reinforce misogyny and bigotry in order to win elections. "Working-class" in these discussions invariably means men (usually white men). If those are the voters you're trying to reach, just be honest about it.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Make statues of this.

A woman in what looks like business attire with a black handbag over her shoulder stands in front of an armed vehicle flipping the bird with both hands. Unfortunately a friend sent this to me, I don’t know who the hero woman is or the photographer

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

"Basically, I'm just fed up with the fact that I'm cis-gendered, I'm a white male, and I lean right, towards the Republican side," said Fears, 28, wearing a pin of the 3rd SS Panzer Division Totenkopf of the Waffen-SS. "And I get demonized if I don't accept certain things."

I’m going to say it again: members of Congress need to draft articles & talk publicly & loudly about the case for treason. Trump told generals on camera in person: the campaign in U.S. cities is a WAR. The military needs to hear it laid out for them, how serious this is. Write for them, not the GOP.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 4d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
