I hope you’re soon able to feel safe enough to return. Idk when that’ll be, but it can’t come soon enough.

Trump’s retaliation tour continues. If you’re not alarmed yet you’re not paying attention.

After setting up Argentina as the largest seller of soybeans to China, these morons want to use tariff money to bail out its economy. Brilliant.

As crazy as it sounds this type of opinion evidence is admitted regularly in courtrooms all across the country without any scientific basis to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Makes me crazy.

An incredible story everyone should follow. 👇

Mark Bray @mark-bray.bsky.social · 6d

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

I feel like we should have a betting pool not on WHEN the Comey case blows up in spectacular fashion, but the specific means by which it does so.

abcnews.go.com/US/central-w...

Prosecutors further expressed concerns about the department's ability to take the case to trial quickly due to problems identifying all the relevant materials that would need to be handed over to Comey's lawyers, sources said. They also raised alarms over the potential for Comey's defense to cite the statute of limitations for the case, which derives from testimony in 2017 and was only reinforced by Comey during his 2020 testimony in response to a question from Republican Sen. Ted Cruz.

Wow. Schumer must have hired new comms people.

Eliza Orlins @elizaorlins.bsky.social · 3d

I hope everyone praises @schumer.senate.gov because positive reinforcement matters.

And this is fucking good.

Democrats say: NO FUCKING WAY.

Please repost this video. Add commentary. Make sure folks see it.

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 3d

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

Eric Michael Garcia @ericmgarcia.bsky.social · 3d

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“
