Maybe you could get people more interested in Democracy if representatives weren't a set of lifetime appointees who demand fealty until they die in office

I know that I'm not the only one wondering why employed people of color who pose no threat to public safety who are paying taxes being arrested most grotesquely while known career criminals are actively engaged in perpetrating very public crimes that endanger our communities? Where's Congress?

Ahead of Mayor Race, Noncitizen New Yorkers Grapple with a Voting Policy Failure to Launch For a brief moment, it seemed some noncitizen New Yorkers may gain the right to vote locally. But with the law struck down earlier this year, they remain at the margins.

Noncitizen voting in local elections was common during the 18th and parts of the 19th centuries and some municipalities in the U.S. have revived the practice. New York City passed a law permitting it, but last year it was struck down.

The DOJ going after the Southern Poverty Law Center should be a bigger deal

Using paid criminal informants to rat on extremist hate groups is nothing new

however if you wanted to expose them and scare away future informants so that these hate groups can flourish

Well the DOJ is doing just that

Isn’t that the truth.

Sure. Trump will lose the mid terms. What happens then? Military in American streets and a civil war. Watch for it. Those people are not going to give up power. Ever.

There seems to be a dispute on this.

Honestly, I'm surprised Hegseth still calls it the "Department of the Navy" and not the "Department of Aquamen" or something else a fifth grader would think sounded cool

Pa. court recognizes ‘reproductive autonomy’ as a right, strikes down ban on public funding for abortion In a 4-3 ruling, the Commonwealth Court found that abortion access is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Pennsylvania Constitution.

Hurrah! This is an org I've given to in lieu of the behemoths like Planned Parenthood. And look at the great work they did!

People keep talking about e-bikes, e-trikes, e-scooters, and other power-assisted mobility like they are toys, shortcuts, or something to sneer at. But for a lot of people they are freedom machines. They turn impossible trips into possible ones. They turn pain into manageability, distance into

My kid showed up in a local newspaper as part of a cool event, and I just had the most bizarre conversation with her and her sister about whether a printed local paper is "news."

For the love of everything, can we please kill the internet, just a little, thanks.

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

"I hate Netanyahu, I just agree with almost everything he does," is the most infuriating position among liberal pro-Israel folks.

It is essentially an escape valve to still consider themselves liberal while still supporting far right nationalism. The illusion is essential to solve the dissonance.

Dying in office because you insisted on clinging to power until the very end instead of letting a new generation of leaders rise should be seen for the shameful, egomaniacal act that it is.

When you take away subway platform benches to keep unhoused people from using them you really screw olds carrying heavy bags...

I've always hated hypocrites but Trump complaining about someone cheating when it comes to the gerrymandering issue is way fucking over the top because he was the fat mother fucker who called governor Abbott and ordered him to create 5 Republican seats behind closed doors&without a vote of the ppl

Every time an 🇺🇸 negotiator or government official insults 🇨🇦 or whines about how unfair or unreasonable we are, most 🇨🇦s strengthen their resolve to boycott all things 🇺🇸. These comments aren't helpful. They should've learned that Canadians are a proud and strong country. We'll not be bullied!

The people banning books are never the same people who actually read books.

Law requiring ICE agents to show identification struck down by 9th Circuit. - Los Angeles Times 2.

This is another abomination; 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are in #45’s pocket! We The People need to do something; this is unacceptable! Renee Good & Pretti’s lives matter, let our voices be heard!

Trump called Virginia a rigged election…

Again he lost.

Setting the stage for his cheating.

He doesn't know how to stop lying, because it’s all he has. ❤️✨

OMG -- the RFK Jr breathing noises during this hearing are absolutely horrifying

He is bankrupting our country, just like all his other ventures

I know it's been chaotic lately but it bears repeating:

Jeffrey Epstein did not act alone.

Arrest them all.

This black-and-white portrait captures Maggie Kuhn (1905–1995), the indomitable founder of the Gray Panthers, an activist group that revolutionized the fight against ageism. Seated in a relaxed yet attentive pose, Kuhn is seen in her later years, radiating a sense of sharp-witted wisdom and gentle defiance. She is dressed in a dark, structured, button-down jacket with a small round collar, featuring a prominent circular political button pinned to her left chest—a hallmark of her lifelong commitment to grassroots organizing. Her silver hair is elegantly swept back, and she wears thin-framed glasses that highlight her keen, observant eyes and a slight, knowing smile. Her hands, weathered by time and adorned with simple rings, rest naturally in her lap, one draped over the arm of what appears to be a patterned chair. The background is softly out of focus, showing a glimpse of indoor foliage and a textured wall, suggesting a television studio or public forum setting where she frequently challenged societal norms. The composition is a medium shot that focuses on her presence as a formidable public figure. The mood is one of dignified strength and intellectual vitality, serving as a powerful visual testament to her legacy as a champion for intergenerational justice and the rights of the elderly.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

I hope Trump et al are busted✊🔥
