Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

@wajahatali.bsky.social eviscerates Hegseth’s pastor Doug Wilson (with @timmiller.bsky.social & piers in the front row)
Sign on public storage building with lights burnt out in several letters, leaving “Public rage.”
I don’t think it will all fit in there.
Whitehouse: "Americans are made less safe every time this committee holds hearings promoting fake outrage about Jack Smith, every time MAGA influencers like Loomer convince Trump to fire agency heads & every time Patel fires FBI experts bc he wants to distract from his own waste of taxpayer dollars"
Born 24 March 1935 - Carol Kaye, one of the most prolific bass guitarists, who has played on an estimated 10,000 recordings in a career spanning over 50 years. Kaye was the bassist on many Phil Spector and Brian Wilson productions in the 1960s and 1970s. She is 91 years old today. #CarolKaye
Hand sewing down binding on this scrap quilt - scrap background, triangles made from scrap strips, backing is made of cut offs from other quilts and a piece of batik. Binding is leftover binding pieced into one roll #quiltsky - quilt is kind of growing on me 😎
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Bulk sales of tickets to Melania are being promoted through emails from WH Faith Office advisor Paula White-Cain using her National Faith Advisory Board list. People are encouraged to purchase 30 tickets at a time to “support our First Lady.” meidasnews.com/news/exclusi...
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.
This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting
"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.
Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.
Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.
Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.
ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.
What lying fucks they all are.
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

Niece picked up quilt tops I had pieced from hand quilters in Kentucky - amazing work - they were orphan quilt tops made from multiple unfinished projects melded into something original for sure
It is important to acknowledge who is standing up and who is just trying to get by. Every day Americans are standing up while the powerful are mostly standing by.
Why aren't law firms standing up and sending lawyers to Minneapolis. Why aren't the corporations speaking out? Why isn't the media?
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
Just today:
- Trump held a rambling, off the wall briefing that Fox would have called dementia if Biden did it
- leaked messages from another world leader
- Threatened to upend NATO over Greenland
- invited Putin and Lukashenko to his “Board of Peace”
Total embarrassment.
“I feel as though the weapon I built is coming to kill me and my people,” said the Somali woman who voted Republican.
Yup.
States taking action against fascism.
More of this, please.
Tonights episode of "A Few Thoughts for Those Who Can't Sleep" -- on not getting caught up in the division-stoking lies.
What's being done is wrong.
And we know it.
The lies are narrative-spinning distractions -- to get us arguing about them.
