Agree and same.

I've been hesitating to say it here, but the pendulum is indeed starting to swing back.

Hold on for the ride, or better yet organize to maximize on all the change that will be possible if we don't waste this opportunity.
I feel in my bones that the wave has started to crash back in and Certain People/Companies who thought they were safe to abandon everyone they’d been pretending to care about will suddenly realize that those people have money/power and I, for one, will be holding a grudge until the end of time 💜

Just months out from the 2026 midterms, the DOJ is aggressively ramping up efforts to gain access to all states' unredacted voter rolls. Experts suggest there’s a large, dangerous goal behind the effort: establishing federal control of elections. https://bit.ly/49DGvGz

It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

SMITH says he had evidence that Trump directly ordered alleged co-conspirators to call senators on the evening of Jan. 6 to try to continue delaying the vote ceritification.

He also had evidence that Bannon said Trump was still "on fire" on evening of Jan. 6.

The USPS finalized a postmark date change that could upend mail voting for rural voters living over 50 miles from a regional processing facility. The initiative is part of a series of controversial reforms launched by Trump’s first postmaster general. https://bit.ly/4qAM6UU

Since folks still want to argue about the election being “stolen” today, I’m going to point you to some raw data.

53% of white women and 69% of white men voted for Trump in 2024. If you think Dearborn, MI, or a small county in PA, proves something that overcomes whiteness, whew do you need a CTJ.

Hours before it was set to air an episode about the treatment of migrants shipped to El Salvador’s notorious CECOT prison, “60 Minutes” mysteriously pulled the episode. Just like that, the beloved show we have known is dead, Marc Elias writes.

I have been warning for years that once insurance companies had a reason to stop denying hormones to trans folks, they’d be coming for the menopausal among us next. We all rise or fall together.
My insurance company just sent me a letter saying they will stop covering two of my prescriptions because they are ‘not medically necessary’. Which ones?
1. My testosterone, because I am not a man
2. My menopause meds for hot flashes because, after all, women should just deal with it.

Conspiracy theorists work to suppress voter turnout by claiming that elections were stolen, so what’s the point of voting.

It’s a form of voter suppression, and it’s working at the moment against Democrats.

5 yrs ago next Tuesday, an American president who lost an election but refused to accept the loss incited a violent attempt to overthrow the election.

Instead of being treated like a pariah, that president was actually voted back into the White House, a much bigger condemnation of us than him.

The President of the United States appears to be getting regular IV infusions, the public doesn’t know anything about it, & the DC media evidently doesn’t care.

We are months into the mystery of Trump’s hands, the White House is lying, & I’ve seen a grand total of one serious news story about it.
Trump looked pretty rough today -- note that both of his hands are discolored

"Every journalist at CBS News now knows that if you spend months working on a segment that makes the Trump administration look bad, it might get killed at the last second by someone who’s never worked in TV news & who reports directly to a billionaire with business before the administration."
Adversarial journalism depends on the premise that reporters can publish true, well-sourced information even when the subjects of stories would prefer they didn’t. Weiss has abandoned that premise.

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.

Bernie Sanders: "We need to be thinking seriously about a moratorium on data centers. You gotta slow this process down. It's not good enough for the oligarchs to tell us 'you adapt.' Are they gonna guarantee healthcare to all people? What are they gonna do when there are no jobs? Make housing free?"
