you're being aspirational, and correct, but you're not announcing *how* to achieve that
it's like going "arrest #Trump!"
ok
and?
how?
to get #rankedChoiceVoting, which is creeping in in the #USA, and would allow for stable viable 3rd parties... how?
we have to elect #Democrats who support that (some do, some don't: vote in the #primaries people!)
the #GOP has taken a blanket stand against #RCV nationally, so this is the only way forward

Oh, Hell yeah you did!
You should have stopped playing Candy Crush and updating Facebook every 3 minutes and paid more attention to who you were voting for. The writing was on the wall the whole time.

Donald Tantrump has spent around 2,000,000,000 taxpayer dollars buying back U.S. offshore wind leases and directing 'investment' (effectively subsidies) to #FossilFuels instead.
Because delivery of fossil fuels through the Hormuz Strait is definitely reliable and in no way intermittent...

BREAKING
Erin Burnett/CNN: word is that an arrest warrant has been issued for James Comey.
Un-effing real. What a travesty of justice. Esp, as Erin Burnett points out, during the Biden administration, "8646" was a #GOP thing, even appearing on tshirts & hats still for sale on Amazon.
Y'all gonna arrest & prosecute those folks for calling for Biden's assassination?
Still waiting...

is no compelling argument, legal or otherwise.
English is an imprecise language: the same word can have diff meanings.
Like "killing" a bill - that doesn't mean killing the ppl who proposed or supported it. Or is that what you actually mean, Speaker Mike Johnson?
And this archaic reference to the origin of the term "86" as meaning "8 miles out & 6 feet deep" is not, as the #GOP spokeswoman who dredged it up, common knowledge. Never heard it myself before.
Plus that's urban myth, not its

As well as spending millions of dollars to defeat progressive candidates, and spinning off a spiderweb of sub pacs, #AIPAC has gone full scorched earth to elect republicans in midterms by talking about how Dems take money from aipac.
Easy problem to solve y’all. Don’t take money from foreign terrorists, it’s not hard. If you have taken their money, be public about giving it back and why. Other countries are not supposed to be allowed to meddle in our elections. Why is it ok when it’s #Israel?

#Trump has been very vocal about the case, calling it one of the most important in #US #history & saying a ruling against him would be an economic body blow to the country. But #legal opposition crossed the political spectrum, including #libertarian & pro-#business groups that are typically aligned with the #GOP. Polling has found tariffs are NOT broadly popular with the public, amid wider voter concern about #affordability.

Morning, all,
this is of course an (alleged) abuse of official position, 'insider trading', a breach of OPSEC and morally wrong, but one has to conclude that the real crime committed by Van Dyke was not being a member of Don Trumpeone's #Trump crime family...

The most dangerous of RFK Junior's many crazy beliefs is his opinion that germs are not the primary causes of disease. Instead, he believes in a completely unproven notion called "terrain theory."
He was finally asked about terrain theory by Bernie Sanders yesterday: https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/04/rfk-jr-s-rejection-of-germ-theory-debunked-in-senate-hearing/

Good Morning(ish), all,
With the deluge of Bad US News, I thought I'd post some Good News; I searched my playlist for the report on how the nerves of the clitoris have been mapped for the first time (30 years after mapping the penile nerves).
But I couldn't find it...
So here instead: some Good #EU News on unfreezing a €90B loan to Ukraine after the electoral defeat of Viktor Orbán (and thus Vlad Putin & Don Trumpeone).
