I was just in Portland last week and the people were lovely, the sky was blue and streets were full of tourists.

NOT a war zone.

Trump can fuck the fuck off.

This is an obsession of mine - a huge pathology of the press is coverage suggesting that politicians who are less skilled performers are somehow less "authentic"

Johnson strikes a patronizing tone about MTG: "Republicans have been working around the clock on healthcare. They're on the committees of jurisdiction that deal with this. Marjorie doesn't serve on those committees, so I offered to have her come into the room and be a part of those discussions."

It’s patriotic to support our immigrant & farm workers.

Shame on so many farmers who voted for Trump.

United Farm Workers @ufw.bsky.social · 7h

"Rafa" is a Merced county farm worker. He does 2 shifts in 2 different jobs as rent is so expensive. He harvests tomatoes in the am. Then he sorts sweet potatoes under a hot sun - working 13 hours total. He worries about driving home because of lack of sleep. #WeFeedYou

As a singular American figure, the 47th president might have a singular effect on Roberts's legacy. That's why the Trump opinion looms so large. It would be a tragedy for Roberts if his long tenure as chief justice were reduced to that single ruling and opinion because the portents of doom in the Sotomayor dissent prove accurate in the extreme-and turn what
Roberts meant as the solution to a problem of constitutional governance into a license for autocracy.

The House and Senate have both passed defense bills which ignored President Trump's new nickname for the Pentagon. The 'Department of War' is not mentioned a single time. It's still the Department of Defense to Congress, 550 times in this bill.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

To understand the Trump administration’s vision for American education, @megomatz.bsky.social and I studied dozens of hours of political appointees’ speeches and podcasts and essays. What emerged is a desire to dismantle the nation’s system of public schools.

These Activists Want to Dismantle Public Schools. Now They Run the Education Department.

Under Trump, the Department of Education has been bringing in activists hostile to public schools. It could mean a new era of private and religious schools boosted by tax dollars — and the end of publ...

“Supercharging searing civil tensions over jarring high-profile events drives attention, jolts low-propensity voters out of their information ruts, and compels them to really take sides.” Yep, @gregsargent.bsky.social.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.
