Before you cape...we are years away from the presidential election and still 8 months away from the Maine senate election.

there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.

just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.

More than 17k Korean Adoptees in US Lack Citizenship. Most Live in Minnesota. For the more than 15,000 Korean adoptees in Minnesota who lack citizenship, recent immigration raids have caused immense fear and anxiety.

Over 17 THOUSAND people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora in the US, spanning the entire period up to its inception 70 years ago, lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ inaction.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

This is disgusting. Rationalizing the bombing of a school that reportedly killed 108 girls.

But since she asked,

"Currently, 161 public schools operate on military installations across the United States."

Establishment Democrats aren't against Iran bombing, they're just pouting about not being asked.

Congresswoman Ramirez Condemns Trump’s Unlawful Military Action on Iran, Murder of Head of State

“Many of us were clear that the violence and destabilization that Trump started in Venezuela was not going to end there. Fascists and despots start wars to remain in power and enrich themselves. Today, in the Middle East, we are seeing what two unaccountable warmongers will do with unchecked power and a lack of oversight. Once again, the Trump Administration, this time in coordination with Netanyahu’s government, perpetrated an unlawful attack against a sovereign nation and its head of state. As it was with the kidnapping of Maduro, the murder of Ali Khamenei is an unlawful action. It is a violation of U.S. and international law and dangerously undermines the rule of law, making all of us less safe. Trump's actions only bring us closer to a regional war that puts civilians and American troops at risk.

I stand with all people who yearn to be free, including Iranian protestors who have bravely demanded change. It is the action of the people that secures lasting change and enduring peace. History has shown us that peace and democracy have never been realized through strong men, United States imperialism, or unilateral military intervention. Regime change has always been the powerful's preferred pretense for advancing U.S. economic and corporate interests around the world. Americans are tired of endless wars. Congress can't keep turning a blind eye. We can’t continue allowing a despot to consolidate power at home and abroad and put our democracy and security at risk. We have to take action. Our constituents are calling us to hold Donald Trump and every fascist, warmonger, and despot accountable. Let’s pass my Block the Bombs Act, pass a War Powers Resolution that asserts our authorities, and impeach Trump.”

We must simply surrender our democracy to authoritarianism and oligarchy otherwise our democracy might be destroyed.

There are millions of people who have that stomach. We just need to get them into public office.

This stunt where ICE releases people far from home with no proper clothing and no way home should be treated as attempted homicide. In this case, actual homicide. These cases are not accidental or based on misunderstandings. They are deliberate attempts to inflict bodily harm.

increasingly convinced these content aggregation accounts are a net negative even if well meaning (TN Holler just one of several). In the name of engagement, they tend post way more things than they can possibly be vetting and get fooled too often

that was fun!!

In principle, of course, the First Amendment lets you say this with or without 230. In practice, it’s unlikely most platforms would take the risk of permitting you to say it without a liability shield.

after failed military incursion, us government responds with economic sanctions

I think you mean "amid ongoing military incursion"

👌

what i'm seeing on instagram is that the military incursion hasn't even ended, either. no change, the fascists just successfully manipulated the zeitgeist to move on. keep working locally ❤️

In 1938, the German Reich invalidated all German Jewish passports.

They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as a Jew.

In 2026, the state of Kansas invalidated all correct trans drivers licenses.

They must surrender them, after which their ID will mark them as trans.
