  1. #Texas could elect a #Democrat for #governor

    It's close

    She could also lose to #GregAbbott

    If that fills you with dispirit so you resolve to not turn out... well, then you're part the problem

    #Vote!

    Voting alone will not fix this country

    But doing all the other things, and not voting, that's just foolish

    Even as just a matter to make the other struggles easier

    " #GinaHinojosa could be Texas' first #Latina governor. Here's her story"

  2. But #EricSwalwell is an enemy of sorts to the #Trump admin. For years, the #Democrat has been one of Trump’s most visible political antagonists, having served as a manager in the president’s second #impeachment trial. Deputy Chief of Staff #StephenMiller has called Swalwell a “scumbag” on national TV. And #FBI Dir #KashPatel …described him as one of the “corrupt actors of the first order” in his 2023 book, Government Gangsters.

  3. Your periodic reminder that, whether you're a #democrat, or a #republican, or a #green, or anything else....you probably already agree with your local #libertarian about a lot.

    Do you think #marijuana should be legal? Most of us do, too.

    Do you want #schoolchoice, so the #poor can have choice that the #rich already have? Welcome aboard.

    Do you want a whole lot less #war and #intervention? Pull up a seat.

    Do you understand that #tariffs are a tax the people don't get to vote on? So do we.

  4. Cognitive Dissidence
    =================

    Obama sold us #Obamacare and #healthcare went from complicated & expensive, to complicated, expensive, & mandatory.

    Government subsidies ended.
    Net result: healthcare is worse than before.

    There were some benefits to Obamacare, or it would not have passed at all. Some people benefited, though for most others it made #healthcare worse.

    People: "We want #UniversalHealthCoverage ! healthcare is too expensive."

    Obama: "I will ensure that everyone has healthcare."

    People: "Hooray! Obama cares."

    Obama: "Now everyone is REQUIRED to have health insurance."

    People: "And the government will pay for it, right?"

    Obama: "..."

    People: "... right?"

    Obama: "No, but your preexisting conditions will be covered."

    People: "Yay!!!"

    Obamacare subsidies were set to expire, in his plan. Obama handed his opponents a ticking time bomb before leaving office.

    Trump just didn't renew this crock of a plan, because he is too busy doing other evil shit.

    Trump is a daylight robber.
    Obama was a midnight thief.
    Poor people got clobbered,
    electing either, as chief.

    Mandatory health insurance means more money for the "healthcare industry".

    Remember the 2008 market crash that wiped out millions of Americans out of their retirement savings and 401-K? There was corruption behind the scenes, and big insiders made money. It was Obama who stopped that investigation, and it was sneakily moved out of the news cycle.

    He fooled the masses with charm and attraction.
    Propaganda is a weapon of mass distraction.

    Watch what he do.
    Ignore what he say.
    Connect the dots
    and follow de monay!

    I used to laugh at the people who said, "Both sides are the same."

    In 2023, I was a programmer with federal clearance, working for the US Department of Veterans Affairs, through #AccentureFederalServices , through a contractor ( #GrayDigital ), when I called out corruption & became a government #whistleblower

    I have been #homeless since 2023, hounded by the law, a dozen rides in the back of cop cars, usually handcuffed. Kicked out of hospitals, banks, libraries, stores, & buses. 5 arrests ( 4 under #Biden, 1 under #Trump ), faced #police brutality, spent 6 nights in jail. The last arrest was extrajudicial, and I was not even brought before a judge after spending a night in jail, just told to go away.

    I slept outdoors in winters without warm clothes, in muddy orchards, in rain, on cold concrete city pavements, in sweltering heat. I was denied public defense in #courts, though I told judges I was homeless and food insecure. I fought in court, representing myself, while homeless. All charges were dropped. It was whistleblower intimidation. I had committed no crimes. I was assaulted in the streets by the security guard of a #Catholic charity. I have eaten out of garbage cans, & several times, gone hungry for 2-3 days at a time.

    In December 2025, I moved to #Tokyo to avoid persecution, though it followed me here. I'm homeless and hungry here as well, probably because the #Japanese government is reluctant to grant me #political #asylum.

    Every #Refugee Assistance Organization I contacted in Tokyo has turned me away.

  5. Hello, fellow hackers,

    I am a #whistleblower and have lost access to computing resources for the time being.

    I have this code repository, almost ready. It forms the basis of a True Democracy. Basically, voters get to collectively make up the government’s budget. Government departments have to work within the budgets set by the people.

    Could someone please clone, tweak, and deploy it to a public website?

    This is a topical solution that will fix many issues we face today.

    Thank you so much!

  9. Mr. Schertler, Dr. #Fauci’s lawyer, said in statement that he believes that exchange “triggered” #RandPaul’s crusade against his client. But he did not deliver the statement, because Paul refused to let him speak. Sen #RichardBlumenthal, #Democrat of Connecticut, read parts of the statement into the record.

    “The accusations that Chairman Paul continues to propagate are false & disgraceful,” the statement said, “& we will examine all options to hold him accountable.”

    #ConspiracyTheories #law

  10. The top #Democrat on the panel, Senator #GaryPeters of Michigan, accused #RandPaul of waging a politically-motivated inquiry to “basically legitimize a predetermined conclusion that was reached years ago.”

    Dr. #Fauci & Mr. Paul have been tangling with one another for years. In 2021, when the senator accused Dr. Fauci of lying while testifying before the #Senate, Dr. Fauci replied, “If anybody is lying here, senator, it is you.”

  11. @Rasta @RegGuy

    I am a #whistleBlower against #AccentureFederalServices and the US Department of Veterans Affairs. I had voted #democrat until that point.

    Then, I was brutalized by police and jailed, 4 times by the #Biden regime, and once by the #Trump regime ( extrajudicially incarcerated, without trial, or due process ).

    All charges were dropped, as I fought in court. They never had any reason to arrest me. It was an attempt at whistleblower intimidation.

    This is my account:

    whistleblower.lovestoblog.com/

    I have been #homeless since 2023 , except for a few months.

    If you had told me that both sides were the same, in 2022, I would have laughed. Now, I believe it.

    Healthcare was complicated and expensive.
    People wanted Universal Healthcare.
    So Obama sold us #ObamaCare
    Now, #healthcare is complicated, expensive, AND mandatory.
    More money for “the healthcare industry”.

    After the market crash of 2008, where many Americans lost their retirement savings, it was #Obama who stopped the investigation into the #corruption behind the crash.

    Trump is not much better than Obama.

    Yes, both sides are the same, and they both work for the rich.

    I am now in #Japan , seeking political asylum, and have been homeless for a while, and without medical care. I have had to go hungry for days at a time, a few times, as every NPO aimed at helping refugees, has denied me help.

    With all due respect, #Takaichi san’s #government is violating the UN convention on #refugees by denying me basic protections and #HumanRights

  12. #ToddBlanche’s confirmation hearing to become the 88th attorney general of the United States began with #Senate #Judiciary Committee #ChuckGrassley, #Republican of Iowa, welcoming him & giving opening remarks, followed by the tanking #Democrat on the committee, #DickDurbin of Illinois.

    Durbin’s remarks were worth hearing, the rest not so much. Grassley’s were prebuttal & defensive, Blanche’s were all lies.

    Sadly Durbin is retiring. He’s very good, but he is advanced in his years.

  17. If I ran for #POTUS, not only my campaign but upon winning the election my #OvalOffice would be so beyond the norms, it would shake the #political foundation to it's core; First I would be running as a #Democrat infer from that what you will, but then my #VPOTUS would be a #Repbulican one that is a True #Statesmen and someone that could both unifi and rally #congress to actually work together, then my entire cabinet would be a 50/50 split of democrats and republicans, why do this you may ask, simply I would be elected By The People For The People, to truly be Of The People and For The People, the Office Of President needs to be a equal unifying united body that truly works for all #Americans, something most modern "statesmen" have no concept of, hence the horrish division among We The People, and the deplorable state of affairs the Union is in, my goal would be to return the power of government to the people and undo the last 60 or so years of failures that have left the majority core of Americans out; My first Policy of importance, for everyone with a net worth less than $1.5million mandatory Universal Income and Universal Healthcare, why 1.5million, at $37k a year $1.5 lasts around 40 years, if you have that your secure your stable, if you don't have that, your drowning, your tired, and you deserve respite and opportunity, and yes those who have will be taxed sorry, you got rich off the backs of average Americans for 250years now, it is time to spread the American dream to every citizen;

  18. RE: mastodon.online/@EditorDavePer

    Interesting read, about dark money flowing into #Colorado #Democrat races here in the primary cycle! Check and research the org names at the bottom of that mailer you get, or that FB ad.

    The dark money is to push more mainstream and less progressive candidates to the ballot in November. I think we need more aggressive moves to help make government work for working people, not more of the same mainstream Dem neoliberalism. Even if you disagree doesn’t it come across wrong that the corporate origin of the money is hidden? Article covers labor union money in these races too, which at least is transparent (and to me more trusted to push for change for working people).

    It’s a different story in a race that is a long shot for any Dem, like unseating #LaurenBoebert with #EileenLaubacher. There any Dem will do. This is my district and the calculus is different here.

  20. The top 7 contenders for #CaliforniaGovernor will debate at 6PM PT (9PM ET) on CNN.

    The #California “jungle primary” system, could result in no #Democrat on the ballot in November.

    All candidates run on one ballot in June, with the top 2 advancing — regardless of party.

    A crowded Democratic field [dummies] risks splitting the vote & opening the door for 2 #Republicans to finish as the top 2, shutting #Democrats out of November’s general #election in a decidedly #BlueState.

  23. Sen #GaryPeters, the ranking #Democrat on the #Senate #HomelandSecurity Cmte, was more diplomatic than Paul, saying #DHS needs a “steady hand” following a year of controversies under Secy #KristiNoem.

    “We need a DHS secretary who is committed to the rule of #law & who will protect & cooperate with independent #oversight, whether that’s from the inspector general or from members of #Congress,” Peters said in the confirmation hearing of Sen #MarkwayneMullin, who #Trump selected to replace Noem.

  24. Sen #TimKaine also echoed Sen #MarkWarner (D-VA), the top #Democrat of the #Senate #Intelligence Cmte, saying that “all of the intelligence” he has seen suggests that there was “no imminent threat” from #Iran. He said Iran was “a decade” away from building missiles that could reach the #US.

  26. On the 35th day of the Trump/Republican shutdown

    - The GOP controlled House of Representatives remains in hiding
    - 52% blame Trump and Republicans for the shutdown
    - 37%, Trump’s approval rating
    - 62% believe the US is on the wrong track
    - The majority oppose ICE tactics and Trump immigration actions
    - Trump ignores a court order and refuses to release previously funded SNAP benefits
    - ACA premiums skyrocket under the GOP
    - Trump transportation secretary says that air traffic may shut down due to the Trump shutdown
    - Where are the Epstein files?

    On the 35th day of the Trump/Republican shutdown, Democrats and this country can definitively say “no more”, here’s how:
    - In CA, vote Yes on Prop 50
    - In NYC, vote Zohran Mamdani for mayor
    - In NJ, vote Mikie Sherrill for governor
    - In VA vote Abigail Spanberger for governor

    GOP Party slogan: “We Don’t Care. Let Them Eat Cake."

    Democrat Party slogan: “We the People.”
