[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

It’s beyond sad. It’s beyond disappointing; at this point, it’s disqualifying for anyone with ambitions for higher office as a Democrat, or a Republican, for that matter, to be fighting to keep billionaires from being taxed while kids don’t have health insurance and the cost of living goes sky-high.

These billionaires are also the ones hellbent on replacing entire workforces with the AI they are developing with our tax dollars (watch the “Musk” doc). We are also living through the largest wealth gap in modern history. At this point, the only way to balance out the economic forces that have bought our politicians and keep rigging the game against working people is through taxes.

Let’s hope Gavin gets some sense and walks this back. It’s crazy that this is what he chooses to spend his political capital, and part of his legacy, doing. He vetoed the bill that would have put a “kill switch” on AI for our protection. He vetoed a bill that would have gotten forever chemicals out of cookware. Time and time again, he goes with corporate interests over the well-being of the people, even after his own bipartisan legislature votes for something.

And here we go again.

Gavin, we aren’t looking for the Democratic version of Trump. That was a good goof. Please try something else. It’s tired.

The people need a champion, man. A real, bona fide champion who isn’t just tough in tweets or press conferences, but tough when it comes to the real imbalances people are struggling with every day: billionaires vs. people and the planet.

This is awesome.

If your vote didn’t matter Republicans wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop you.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

AMAZING! Republican election officials denied NC A&T campus an early-voting site. Students marched about 45 minutes each way to vote ANYWAY!

Put up barriers to voting, and don’t be surprised when people get angry, get organized, and bring even MORE voters to the polls!

[Team Talarico @TeamTalaricoHQ]

Ken Paxton’s former top cop on why he’s voting for James Talarico:

I spent 2 hours with James Talarico. Number one, I saw no deception. He answered all my difficult questions. He didn’t dodge anything. He hit it head on.

I have been around politicians my entire life. I served 5 governors, I’ve met 4 presidents… And James Talarico is so different than other people I’ve encountered.

I think he’s the man who needs to go to Washington DC, and Ken Paxton needs to go home.

[Headquarters @HQNewsNow]

Jimmy Kimmel: Jesus has been co-opted by this MAGA enterprise that makes no sense. You bring it right back to the real teachings of Jesus and I think that is so powerful.

James Talarico: Jesus Christ is the most famous victim of identity theft. The kind of religion that says you can treat others any way you want if you have a personal relationship with Jesus is an abomination

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

this is at the republican convention. the right loves doxxing & calling for assassinations, then claiming the left are the violent ones. they delete doj studies showing they’re responsible for the largest share of political violence & try to rewrite reality in front of our eyes

interesting how everyone who says this in dc has a photo like this

Remember when we warned that SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters?

The response was always the same:

“Just get the paperwork.”

Well, Florida is showing us what “just get the paperwork” actually looks like.

A Florida woman and Army veteran found that out when she ran into problems getting a REAL ID because she couldn’t produce a marriage record from 50 years ago to connect her name history.

Think about that. A citizen and Army veteran stuck because one old document was missing. Now expand that across the country. Millions upon millions of Americans have identity histories that don’t fit into one perfect government record. Marriage, adoption, divorce, immigration, court-ordered name changes, and simple clerical errors all create gaps.

The SAVE Act would add more opportunities for those gaps to become barriers. As is being proven in Florida.

Republicans have been lying to you.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

🔥 HASAN: “I welcome it. Let the trash take itself out.”

@hasanthehun reacts to @billmaher threatening to vote for Republicans because too many young exciting DSA candidates who want everyone in 🇺🇸 to have health care (rather than drop more 💣 on kids in Gaza) are winning.

Also: “Republicans call EVERYBODY a communist. They call PELOSI a communist. Don’t fall for it.”

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

I'm old enough to remember when Greg Abbott justified signing the "Heartbeat Act" by saying he'd "eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out, arresting them, and prosecuting and getting them off the streets."

So, THAT was a lie, Texas.

[jezz @JezziiB]

Texas just made weed a felony after over 70% of voters voted to legalize it. Is this what we call a democracy when the representatives of a state will openly defy the will of voters because incarceration rates went down so much and prisons lost money? Texas is a fucking republican-ran hellhole.

[Adam Mockler @adammocklerr]

Corrupt Collins needs to go!!!

[MAGA Cult Slayer @MAGACult2]

He. Doesn’t. Miss.

Zohran rejects his own approved pay raise.

I’d be terrified if I were Mike Johnson too.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

establishment dems are fearful of the insurgent candidacies of abdul for MI senate & francesca hong for WI governor. they tell us, they fear these candidates will fail in purple states against republicans in the general. what rw dems actually fear is the success of insurgent left candidates especially in purple states. they fear that the voters are waking up to the reality that the actual electable candidates are the ones that will fight FOR something, not just put on a show against trump. insurgents that will center working class needs over corporate profits. this threatens the power of the corporate dems that have controlled the party for decades and allowed this country to be dominated by increasingly repulsive far right politics that brought us trump twice. we say no more!

[jalal @awesommeblossom]

@hasanthehun Because when it comes to defending capital, both the Democrats and Republicans are aligned together against the left.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

once you see how hard dems work to defeat their left flank, and how little they do in comparison to fight against their right, it becomes impossible to unsee.
