Californian. Gardening. Good books and creative ideas.

šŸ”“ Stella Creasy nails it šŸ‘

You canā€™t say our energy system has left us vulnerableā€¦ and then oppose the only things that actually make us independent.

Oil and gas tie us to global markets.
Renewables break that link.

It really is that simple.

Why should the Court have to figure it out. You make stupid power grabs, you have to clean up the mess you made.

This is Trump & Lutnickā€™s problem.

Facts:

The federal government has no authority over elections.

States certify their own elections.

Mail in voting is still legal.

Any chance to Election Clause of the Constitution requires 2/3 of both House and Senate and 3/4 of States to amend the Constitution....that ain't happening.

The SAVE America Act isnā€™t saving anyone.

Congress should be expanding access to the ballot boxā€”not restricting it. This bill could make it harder for millions of married women to vote if it passes. Itā€™s voter suppression disguised in the name of election security.

I will be voting HELL no.

Starmer vows action against Elon Musk's X:

"The actions of Grok and X are disgusting... We're absolutely determined to take action... We're not going to back down. They must act. We will take the necessary measures. We will strengthen existing laws.. This is weaponising images of women & children."

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Dear Politicians,
PLEASE do not use "thoughts and prayers" when commenting on the latest gun slaughter . It has lost its meaning and is code for we are powerless to help. We are sick to death of you not finding a way to ban assault weapons and strengthen gun laws.
Sincerely, Majority of Americans

i really resent the continued assertion that thereā€™s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. weā€™re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and theyā€™re angry because weā€™re calling them out for it.

No other U.S. president has used the military as their own personal police force against the American people.

We implore the courts to reject Donald Trump's ongoing, illegal actions and definitively affirm states' sovereign right to handle public safety matters.

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, Iā€™ll note this from our reporting:

Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court ā€¦ and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law.Ā 

A new generation that gives meaning to the ā€œweā€ in ā€œwe the people.ā€

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

Pass it on!

Johnson & House Republicans are determined to pass the SAVE Act to deny millions of people, especially women, access to the ballot box
This is a test of Schumer's leadership in the Senate
Republicans do not have 60 votes for cloture
The SAVE Act must die on Thune's desk never seeing Senate floor

Canā€™t emphasize this enough: if youā€™re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what youā€™re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!

Socialism is what they called public power.Ā 

Socialism is what they called social security.Ā 
Ā 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Ā 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Letters went out to federal workers this morning stating they were fired due to poor performance. However, all employees had been rated as ā€œexceptionalā€ performers by their supervisors. Please keep these records and pursue wrongful termination claims. Let the lawsuits begin.

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicineā€”generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefitsā€”is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.
