@DAGToddBlanche This slush fund is not supported. I think it is an awful concept and completely void of merit. Another scam. If a single J6er who was convicted of violent crime or conspiracy receives any money, it will be absolutely devastating to the American ideal. SHAME!

If you run into any issues while voting, call or text the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) with any questions

@elonmusk @DOGE YOU are the unelected. Do you not see the irony in your statement?

I know you are having fun playing your political games, but you are hurting REAL people. They are not just pawns in your real-life game of RISK.

@SenatorCollins please vote NO on Tulsi Gabbard. Please vote NO on Bobby. Please vote NO on letting the author of Project 2025 run the OMB. PLEASE think of what you are doing to the safety of this country!

Is he threatening your family? Do you need help?

I'm done here.

Find me on blue sky under the handle HopefulFrog @frogtoo.bsky.social

No particular reason for the handle, it just felt right at the time when I signed up. It's so much nicer over there. I'll figure out how to disable this acct soon.

@ddbecker5454 @Julio_Rosas11 Sadly, it won't likely be on the news, at least not on fox or newsmax, because they don't report "The News" - only what dear leader wants them to advertise and promote.

If Dems want to maintain Black women’s support you better keep VP Harris’ name out of your mouth other than saying to her,”Thank you!”

She understood the assignment and ran an excellent campaign. She was outstanding.

VP Harris will not bear the burden nor take the blame for the majority of white America’s obsession with racism and lack of responsibility to protect a multi-racial democracy. You will own this one.

While Nancy Pelosi talking about candidate scenarios perhaps she should figure out how to use her influence as a white woman to organize other white women and better understand how to end racism. I suggest that she starts with her own internalized thinking and actions first.

💵 Baselined: The Biden Economy
We are taking a snapshot of Joe Biden's economy before he leaves office so we have a point of comparison when Donald Trump begins to take credit for it, like he did the economy he inherited form Barack Obama.

@TheMikeMorton I do find this difficult to believe is legit. Although the sexism and racism are strong, this doesn’t make any sense.

Same in North Carolina? How about Pennsylvania?

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@AdamGussow That would be beautiful

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@benhockey @MaTTFLaMMaBLe @WalshFreedom Dems speak in long sentences. Republicans-Soundbytes.

Guess which people take to more easily!

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@MaTTFLaMMaBLe @WalshFreedom In the end, racism and sexism were the deciding factor. If it had been Karl Harris this would have been a dem landslide.

@BravoKiloActual @GavinNewsom CA uses a different formulation and also taxes gas higher than other states.

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@GavinNewsom @MuellerSheWrote How about we don’t send money to the federal govt so they can’t withhold it from us in times of emergency? We will just keep all federal funds as our own emergency funds. We all know he is petty and requires fealty for favors. (Or what he deems as a favor)

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@ftsope13 @sandibachom @AshaRangappa_ But now we all have to suffer as a result

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@PeachesMel @sandibachom @AshaRangappa_ Sadly the men still would not have voted for her. Because it’s deeply ingrained - women just have higher standards to meet to just be “on par” with men in this country. Still.

It’s sickening and disheartening.

We have to work harder.

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@sandibachom @AshaRangappa_ They are really good at propaganda. Lies. Misinformation. Disinformation. Intentional distraction or refocus of attention on petty grievances. Endless repetition of sound bite / catchy denigration of others. It works.

[LBC musings @lbconley]

@AshaRangappa_ A lot of it is the RW media that’s pervasive in rural America. If we could go back to the times when they couldn’t outright lie on “news” programs and radio shows that would be a great start.

They are really good at propaganda

[Tom Santos @tommysantos14]

So when Trump fires all non-partisan career professionals in government, replaces them with radical loyalists within every nook and cranny of the US government, and adds radical judges everywhere.

And every one of you that voted for him finally wake up from your fucked up fantasy just like the folks that woke up after 4 years of the last shit show, only to realize it’s much much worse, and much more permanent, this time.

When the cancer you caused has infected every bit of the American system and it can’t be unwound for a lifetime.

What then?

Do you beg this country for forgiveness for choosing fascism because you were conned into believing your eggs are too expensive because of Joe Biden?

You just put Steve Bannon in charge of American policy.

You just put Michael Flynn in charge of our military.

You just put Alex Jones in charge of media and propaganda.

You just put Stephen Miller in charge of immigration policy.

You just put batshit crazy RFK Jr. in charge of health policy.

You just killed free public education and privatized schools, which you will have to pay for.

You just sealed the deal on a national abortion ban, because you’re demented if you think it’s not coming.

You just radicalized the Supreme Court for a generation.

You just made women less safe and less free.

You just made this country an oligarchy with the billionaires quite literally in charge now.

You just put in office the one person that believes a president is a king, with the fucking Supreme Court ruling to prove it in his back pocket!

You just ushered in Fascism.

Because your cereal costs more.

Congratulations.

@SaintLaurant @johnpavlovitz @MuellerSheWrote So many things should have ended his campaign. Over and over and over again.

Yet here we are. In despair.
