I'm a NW Queer woman experiencing life at 66 but ready to fight for the future we all deserve. We should have a society without homelessness and without hunger where people can realize their potential for art and science and caregiveing. 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇨🇦🇺🇲🌎🏔🔥🦄💙💙

MASSIVE! Democrat Mindy O’Neall has FLIPPED GOP seat for mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska for the first time in 10 years! Just incredible. Democrats continue to overperform in Trump’s second term, and this...

How many felons do you think are working for ICE at this point? I definitely think it's a a non-zero number. If they weren't a felon when they started, I suspect many of them are...now.

Most communities have senior services that you can call. They typically have various volunteers available to deliver food, take people to appointments, be companions etc. You and your cat deserve to have help.

Yes, please. Erase his name from everything. Destroy the damn ballroom (or turn it into a pro-DEI museum), strip all the tacky gold crap off of everything, dig up his wife's coffin, open it and find out what he was hiding in it...

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

Seems pretty significant to me. They are demonizing trans people and putting their lives at risk.

Charlotte Clymer @charlotteclymer.bsky.social · 4h

Mr. Nichols, use your words. No one is stopping you from contextualizing why profanity merits an essay like this but not the dehumanizing language against trans people used by the GOP all year. You couldn't even bring yourself to mention transphobia in your summary of Hegseth's military briefing.

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

It is pretty obvious why this lying sociopathic cunt has never been able to maintain a relationship.

Imagine would it would be like to be married to her…

I have raised millions for this party. I have done hundreds of events over the years for center-left and moderate Democrats who we needed to win. I have said "yes" every time the DNC or DCCC or DSCC or any given congressional campaign needed something. Do not insult my contributions to this party.

What is plenary authority, the phrase that caused Stephen Miller to freeze up during CNN interview?
