I moved (back) to Germany with my British husband, after decades in Britain. The Settled Status application made it clear just how unwelcome EU nationals and even their British partners are in Brexitland.

You’re a billionaire oligarch terrified of a democracy you can’t control. You bought a social media platform, turned it into a propaganda sewer, and now have the audacity to lecture Americans about democracy while attacking the idea of giving millions of citizens equal representation. You don’t fear the end of democracy. You fear a democracy you can’t buy, manipulate, or control. Democracy isn’t dying because more Americans might get a voice. It’s threatened by arrogant billionaires who think their bank accounts entitle them to a louder one. The hypocrisy is fucking staggering.

I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That Vivek ad is one of the most vile things I’ve ever seen, and his double down is just unconscionable. He deserves to lose for that alone.

There is something deeply wrong with a political system that allows one trillionaire to buy his own personal U.S. Senator.

I don’t want any apology for what happened “during Covid”
Because right now is during Covid. And all the mistakes of 2020 are still happening, except now they are official policy.
It shouldn’t be dangerous to seek healthcare, or education, or work, or groceries. For many, it is

There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.

Hillary Clinton: “The Republican Party is no longer a political party, it is a cult devoted to Trump and Trump’s power. The Republican Party needs a total transformation. If we’re gonna have a healthy government that actually gets things done and delivers for people, the Republican Party has to purge itself of everybody that lost both their conscience and their backbone over the last ten years and that’s most of them”

Why are people angry about care homes being abandoned in 2020 but saying nothing about care homes in 2026 during the current (13th) Covid wave being in an even worse situation with no universal PPE, no universal testing & no care for what is happening?

In what world is Putin a "humanitarian?” He's assassinated political rivals and journalists, bombed hospitals, and started a war that has intentionally killed tens of thousands of innocent people, including women and children. He's a war criminal.

Reminder: The Wall Street Journal reported in 2024 that Elon Musk had been in regular contact with Vladimir Putin since late 2022
WSJ: Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of the military-grade Starlink network used by Ukraine, according to U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter.
Trump and Musk have both expressed anger at Ukraine for attacking Russian diesel refineries, which Trump blames for high energy prices. Last week, Musk capped the connection speeds of Ukrainian devices, rendering some attack drones and interceptor drones virtually useless.

There was so much coughing in my high school kid’s friend’s science class that the teacher asked, “Does anyone have COVID right now?” and 6 kids raised their hands (out of about 25) 🤦🏻♀️

‘Living with Covid’ is almost impossible while the world is determined not to live with Covid, but to deny it instead.

Mike Johnson's legacy will be defined by keeping the House out of session for much of the year just to shield pedophiles.
