Don't be fooled by my handle. I'm actually quite loud about progressive issues and our dystopian world in general.

Looking at all these results, Trump is REALLY not going the let the midterms happen, or is going to reject their results.

I sure hope Dems and state leaders have solid plans in place to counter all his shenanigans! They're probably busy attacking progressives in primaries instead though.

I wish all the journalists laid off or silenced by billionaires could get together and extend the propublica funding model to a larger news media operation.

It is scary that most research and arts funding in this country is now at the mercy of bigots exactly like him. Unless it furthers the narrative and cause of The Great White Christian Man, it's not getting funded.

Science and art will unfortunately bend to survive. Progress will be undone :(

I feel bad for the brave American soldiers who gave their lives in WWII, only for their grandsons to turn into Hitler youth!!

All while the American government now supports a genocide, complete with a fake witch hunt against those who even speak up about it!

Just sold their souls and dignity for a crumb of relevance.

Well, the conservative legal movement is all about straight up lying, all the way up through the court system, until they get conservative judges who confirm their lies and make them legal.

Batshit legal system that will only get worse with more batshit Trump-appointed judges.

How Illinois May Bumble Its Way Into Electing a Senate Moderate The battle for Dick Durbin’s seat in a potential blue-wave cycle should be a progressive cakewalk in a state like Illinois. Cue the infighting and undermining.

Maine can't get an actual progressive candidate and has to settle for a former Blackwater mercenary with a Nazi tattoo, while Illinois has a stubborn Rep splitting the progressive vote and handing the senator post to a corporate/crypto/AIPAC shill who opposes Medicare for all.

Unreal!

"we are focused on the wrong 1 percent" absolutely cooking

This is the line that should have dominated the 2024 election cycle.

If only the Dems didn't have to listen to the consultant class and the billionaire donors who form the right 1 percent, we wouldn't all be stuck with fascism.

IDK how people could give him a pass for over 200,000 Americans dying unnecessarily!

It was maddening to see nobody emphasizing that during the 2024 election cycle.

I still don't understand why our leaders, journalists, etc didn't organize a mass boycott of Twitter right after a Nazi bought it specifically to turn it into a Nazi propaganda machine and get a Nazi government elected in the most powerful nation on earth.

It would have taken a cursory look at a few days of satellite images to find a bunch of kids playing around there, and zero uniforms!!

They meant to bomb an IRGC base THAT CLOSED OVER A DECADE AGO.

They didn't update their maps. They had AI pick targets on their outdated maps, and didn't even bother to have humans verify what was currently at the target location!

Live updates: Oil storage facility hit in Tehran as US and Israel vow more attacks U.S. President Donald Trump says he’ll hit Iran harder as Iranian president apologizes to neighbors.

So it begins. They're going to level civilian infrastructure in Iran, just like they did in Gaza, including hospitals.

I also bet this is the green light Iran was waiting for, to launch more serious attacks on the desalination plants in the region, etc. Ugh.

True, I kinda forgot about Fetterman being AG(?). I was only thinking about his mayor job of some small town.

Fetterman on (future) Fetterman crime!

Seriously though, have people learned nothing from the Fetterman debacle? Stop propping up random characters, and start making them prove their progressive values, with work in lower office first!!

I still don't understand why people doubled down on him! This stuff came out so early in the election cycle. There was plenty of time to find and promote an alternative progressive candidate to capitalize on the public sentiment behind Platner's candidacy.

These reckless button pushers thought they could pull another Venezuela. The Iranian regime called their bluff, knowing that ground troops wouldn't work.

So now they're going to bomb Iranian civilians to death from above. Not like the regime cares about them either.

kind of crazy that if you have enough money and don't like what you see in the media, you can just buy up every film studio, news station, and social media app and change it

Closer to the midterms.

He'll first let ICE loose on LA or SF, kicking down doors in black and brown neighborhoods, and shooting people. Protests get larger. Fox News gets their few videos of shops burning, plays them on repeat. Trump sends in army to mow down "antifa terrorists destroying America"

Yup, her hundred day presidential campaign defines her now. Idk what else she can do now, after so many years as a politician. But I hope she doesn't try to meddle with progressives and the DNC in hopes of a 2028 run with same old backers.
