  The blue tsunami has started. Democrats flip the House delegate seat in Guam, which they have not held for 30 years. Be part of the tsunami. Go vote! If you are in line, stay in line. If they try to deny your right to vote, ask for a provisional ballot. https://www.newsweek.com/guam-flips-republican-first-time-30-years-1758032

  It appears the Republican 2026 campaign message is, "You need to give up the ability to buy food and gas and your access to health care and Social Security in order to hate trans people who have no effect on your life."

  Paying for universal health care instead of unnecessary tax cuts for billionaires and corporations isn’t “communism”, it is common sense, and a fulfillment of FDR’s New Deal.

  Elon Musk is going to try to buy another election for Trump. Anyone still using 'X' or driving a Tesla is part of the problem. If Musk has that much money to spend buying politicians, he isn't paying nearly enough in taxes. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/us/politics/elon-musk-midterms-republicans.html

  Trump denies fire aid to Oregon just like he denied fire relief aid to California, just like he denied flood relief aid to Washington State, even though we pay far more in taxes than we get back from a federal government that doesn’t give a damn about us. You know, Pacifica can do more than simply hope for the best in the midterms. We can take active action to create something better for ourselves. It is a codependency issue at this point that we don’t. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2...

  Not one more dime for Trump's unnecessary war in Iran until we have universal health care. Not one more dime.

  Trump inflation is so bad and getting so much worse that my supermarket was playing Woody Guthrie in the background as we were shopping. https://youtu.be/wxiMrvDbq3s?is=qCfnj8MKyZ2laNH1 #trumpflation

  "I tried to stop" - last words of Joan Sebastian Guerrero before being shot dead in front of his 3 year old daughter by ICE, Trump's Gestapo. for the suspected crime of being Latino.

  It is obvious that ICE is not going after “criminals”. They are going after “Latinos” in general. “He looked like the suspect.” (meaning he has the same skin color) Abolish ICE.

  I agree with Steve Schmidt in this discussion with Jim Acosta. Not "if", but WHEN Trump refuses to recognize the midterm election results and tries to disrupt the handover of power in Congress, please have a game plan other than acting surprised and wringing their hands over the lack of "norms" and "bipartisanship", because the fascists will just laugh at that. It's not the 90's and pre-2015 norms no longer apply. https://youtu.be/05MkJe-Vqfg

  Here is an excellent video about the emerging Indianapolis Bus Rapid Transit network. It looks like they are doing it right, despite attempts by Indiana Republicans to thwart the project. Shout out to all the transit advocates in red states who sometimes face extra political hurdles. In sane countries, both sides of the political spectrum want quality public transit. https://youtu.be/3T2bL1YPEVY #transit #indianapolis

  If it offers any hope, this isn't even the worst Supreme Court we have had in history. In 1857, the Supreme Court ruled 7-2 in Dred Scott v. Sandford that enslaved and free Black people descended from enslaved Africans were not U.S. citizens. In 1896, Plessy v. Ferguson upheld racial segregation. In 1986, Bowers v. Hardwick allowed states to criminalize gays. All these rulings were eventually overturned. We can and will overturn Citizens United and get our democratic republic back.

  "Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel." - Samuel Johnson Trump hides behind fake and insincere displays of "patriotism" because his economic and foreign policies have completely failed America and his corruption is flouted openly.

  This Bulwark podcast with Heather Cox Richardson and Sarah Longwell is sanity inducing about America’s history and where we are at. The best way to commemorate America at 250 is to get it involved to create the future country we want. https://youtu.be/xBE68EKHq2c?is=JYBj9eAQKm24n28x

  The wealthy elites demanding that everyone work until 70 (or longer), so that they don’t have to pay FICA tax on all of their income like the rest of us, are the same wealthy elites who have no intention of hiring anyone over 50. #SocialSecurity

  Colombia is electing a President today through a direct popular vote in a free and fair election. As no one received over 50% in the first round, the top two candidates went on a second round in today’s runoff. It is time to abolish the slavery-era Electoral College and move to a national popular vote with a runoff. If we had ranked choice voting we could do it on one Election Day.

  Reverse the Trump tax cuts for the wealthy to pay for this failed Iran War and to fund health care. The superwealthy who supported Trump's return to the White House and his failed policies don't deserve their giant tax cuts. They should be the ones to pay for this failed war and his failed policies, not you and me, who have been paying high prices at the store and gas pump. Tax the superwealthy who benefited from Trump. Make them pay for this.

  Musk revealing the location of MAGA influencers being from Russia, India, and Nigeria proves what we have known all along. MAGA was a foreign psy op — arguably the most successful Putin psy op in history. Let’s make “America First” for real with the world’s best universal healthcare system, rail system, and transit systems.

  The only thing Jeff Bezos‘ editorial in the Washington Post convinced me is that we need a steep wealth tax and that the existence of billionaires is a public policy failure.

  When Trump is out, we can turn the Epstein Ballroom into a homeless shelter for undocumented immigrants needing free healthcare and abortion/contraception services, a museum acknowledging slavery and genocide of native americans, and a national LGBTQ Pride Center.
