We are trampling out the fascists, won’t you come and join our club
We have loosed the fateful lightning of this terrible, swift grub
Our truth is munching on

Glory, Glory Subway Sandwich

I think it’s pretty clear this is all extremely intentional.

The media has refused to cover Trump as he actually is for 10 years: a corrupt, racist imbecile.

It’s intentional.

These way out of proportion attacks on AOC, smarter than Trump in every way, are intentional.
seeing this shit while donald trump is president is enough to melt my brain
I see they settled on a framing in the donor group chat

News outlets in my birth country, St. Vincent, are reporting that the US bombed another boat and killed more people

'The fishermen and other users of the sea are on edge' is getting to me. It's an island! Surrounded by sea! And being in the water risks execution!

Wow:
Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

This is not a group of people who dislikes Democratic voters and ideas. This is a group of people who dislike the leadership of the party— *because* they hate Trump far more.

“Weak” “paralyzed” “afraid”… they are expressing a desire for fighters and leaders that will harness the public energy.
Hope that Democrats aren't relying on the enthusiasm of their base to win in November www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Flanagan is the real deal. Her opponent Angie Craig gets money from Chuck Schumer and corporate PACs. Craig also voted to thank ICE for its service a few months ago(!). I know Minnesotans are going to back the fighter in this race, and you can back her here: secure.actblue.com/donate/pf-web
In this moment, we need leaders who will stand up to our wannabe, Donald Trump, not vote alongside him.

No one knows that better than @indivisible.org and the @mnindivisible.bsky.social. That's why I'm so proud to have earned their endorsement.

Health boss RFK Jr.'s 1-year anniversary week was packed with new disasters and reminders of old ones. But even those who should care most are MIA. GOP senators Bill Cassidy (a doctor) and Mitch McConnell (a polio survivor) top my list. My latest at @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

The damage the HHS secretary has done to science and public health is appalling—and it could have been avoided.
