14 puny years for trying to destroy a man's life AND our democracy...
Yes, he should have to every day of those 5,110 days but even if Big Bubba gets to him every single night, it's still a puny sentence for trying to destroy the country
YES -- I remember, too
Texans could have had this righteous, strong, intelligent, unwavering voice on their side but instead voted for the puny guy bought off by corporations and only interested in power, money, cruelty, and making Texans suffer
When Beto said on the presidential debate stage he wanted to take away AR-15s, he was ostracized by the press and mainstream Democrats. Today no body remembers that Beto was a trailblazer. I remember. And I say thank you.

Oregan police officer, Alexander Salterio, who had his prior sentence thrown out by a judge, has been recharged on a 50 count indictment for raping his 10 yr old foster daughter & soliciting child sexual abuse images from children.
EXCELLENT: "the space between experiencing a sexual violation and realizing that it happened"
-- women are so programmed to allow men grace, no matter what, that when we're violated, it takes time to understand what really happened

President Biden is going to put his foot right in Donald Trump’s ass. We are going to see to that. We will carry President Biden to an overwhelming victory. Are you all in? We will make President Biden smile….and Donald Trump…cry.
Why our politicians can be bought:
"The Supreme Court in the 2010 Citizens United decision permitted a flood of corporate money to flow into the electoral system, and then, in the 2013 Shelby v. Holder decision, it gutted the 1965 Voting Rights Act."
JD Vance adds absolutely nothing to the Republican ticket. He’s a poser, pretending that he grew up in Appalachia while he resided in suburbia. He’s clueless, cannot read a room, and no one wants him to determine what we can or cannot do.

@OccupyDemocrats
OF COURSE he's to blame—without his big lie, we wouldn't be here, J6 wouldn't have happened, election workers wouldn't get death threats, voters wouldn't be intimidated or harassed, our country wouldn't be so divided, thousands of people wouldn't have died of covid because of him
Bonus, not as hilarious: The foreign propaganda rag "New York Times" trying to make it all sound innocent.
NYT should be forced to register FARA, or go to prison like these jerks from St. Louis.
Cassidy Hutchinson's testimony makes it clear that Donald Trump and his closest allies must be prosecuted. We are also calling for Trump's Supreme Court Justices to be impeached and removed since he was a criminal, illegitimate president. RT IF YOU SUPPORT THIS IDEA!

Be MORE offended that people almost died trying to save people's lives at an event that GOP say didn't exist.
A mother had to bury her son. It's not fiction.
"...possible for 41 Republican senators...represent just 21% of the population, to stop voting rights legislation backed by 70% of Americans...more & more voters will be silenced & the nation will fall under a system of minority rule...in the American South btwn...1876 & 1964."
Another Jan. 6 case appears at SCOTUS; still nothing from Justice Thomas about why it’s ethical or legal for him to consider these cases. Ginni Thomas pushed states to overturn the 2020 election and she’s attacked the Jan. 6 Committee. The public deserves answers.
why is no one talking about what would happen the first time a nervous, scared teacher accidentally shot a student instead of the shooter?
it's a predictable scenario

“If the Democrats were a competent political party,” wrote Bill Kristol, the conservative strategist and writer, “this photo would be in ads in every GOP swing district tomorrow, with a competition for best caption to get voters engaged.”
Despite the majority of Americans wanting Roe as SETTLED law, despite the polls of their constituents saying Kavanaugh shouldn't be confirmed, the GOP continues to fear the Donald, grovel like whipped puppies, and ignore the voices of the people they serve.

"3. We must resolve the debt ceiling situation — permanently."
THIS is a stupid crisis to have on the regular, and yet we predictably throw the country into fear and despair. What will it take to just fund the government without interruption?
Tuesday thoughts, 'losing democracy' edition:
1. Many are worried about the idea of 'losing democracy' — in the abstract.
2. We need to look beyond institutional risks like election manipulation, judiciary capture, and lawfare.
3. We must resolve the debt ceiling situation —
Roberts had a profound chance to go down in history as a powerful leader who acted as a balance to extremist justices, but instead took the GQP's limp, dark-side path

If you are Dem or Ind and you’re thinking of voting 3rd party or sitting it out because:
“Biden’s too old” or because: “Change isn’t happening fast enough” I say, now is not the time to make a statement. Too much is at stake.
"We must also work for the best. That means organizing, mobilizing, and energizing others; making a ruckus; standing up for what we know and believe; and causing (in John Lewis’s memorable phrase) “good trouble.”
Passivity is not an option. Politics is not a spectator sport."
🧵I wrote recently that, though I wasn’t ‘emotionally invested’ in Biden, I thought he was clearly the best candidate to beat Trump. I am now getting ‘emotionally invested.’ I love his toughness under fire, and I love the idea of his fighting back as an underdog.
I'm not in the mood for negativity this morning. So today's batch of editorial cartoons won't include any about Trump, Vance, et al. Just a few upbeat ones about Kamala Harris.
As always, feel free to grab any of 'em & repost, y'all!

I think you mean, "Domestic terrorist Ashli Babbitt got shot because she was a domestic terrorist."
let's not perpetuate the framing by using their terms
yes -- Elizabeth is acting like the compassionate, intellectual leader we long for to let the phoenix of a better US arise from the flames of evil, cruelty, corruption, and fear
📌"Her point was easy to grasp: While her liberal agenda may be further left than some in the Democratic establishment would prefer, she's a team player who is seeking to lead the party — not stage a hostile takeover of it."

I am with you:
I had an abortion at 19 for the same reasons. I had another when I was in abusive relationship.
Two perfectly good reasons to get an abortion
I had an abortion because I wasn’t ready to be a parent. It wasn’t an agonizing decision. The only fear was that something would go wrong & I wouldn’t be able to have kids *when I was ready.* I do not regret my decision.
I share because it shouldn’t be shameful to discuss.
Kelly: You think you know better than women and doctors about abortion. You even think you know better than seniors about social security. You think you know better than veterans about how to win a war.
