Trump’s new Big Lie that he doesn’t know about Project 2025 might take him downwww.inquirer.com Republicans are in a state of panic now that voters are paying attention to Project 2025, their plan for dictatorship. They should be.

Le Pen's party (RN) got 143 seats. While a record, that's far (very far) from the 289 they hoped for to govern. How?! Hundreds of Left & Macronist candidates dropped out to help each other block the RN. And millions of voters then voted strategically to get that job done.

oh no I have impure thoughts about the Yankee's Ben Rice

Had 2 families over today for a cookout. The election didn’t come up once

Anecdotal, but spoke briefly with some not terminally online friends at a hang out yesterday and the consensus among them was a) news media overhyping debate and b) just stick with Biden as nominee

July 7, 2020 As the pandemic continues to rage, Trump announces the United States is withdrawing from the World Health Organization. Candidate Joe Biden promises to immediately reverse this if elected. (He did, in his first hours in office.)

oh wow showing up defeats fascism no way. sorry it's not your grand fantasy but trust me it's a way better outcome.

JUST IN: Polls closed in France. Exit polls show surprise: —Left coalition (New Popular Front) projected first. (!) —Far-right (RN) has lost its bid to take power. Anti-RN front appears to have worked very well. —No bloc close to majority. Follow this 🧵 for results and more:

So voting is better than *not* voting when it comes to getting what you want? Huh.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

Fight against daunting odds, because it’s the right thing to do, and because sometimes you win.

To quote another person on here after Poland’s election (can’t remember who immediately): “the thing about just voting harder is that sometimes it fucking works”

Once again Philly proves it’s better than New York

Philly Inquirer continue to keep it legit. Biden is being held to a standard that Trump isn't. Fuck you all.

The lingering focus on Biden’s shaky debate obscures Trump’s major verbal miscues | Editorialwww.inquirer.com The president must now convince voters he has the mental acuity to do the toughest job in the world. The same bar does not exist for Trump, who loses no points for incoherence or incompetence.

It’s an atrocity what we did with kids during Covid! We shut the damn schools down, they lost months of education! And just because a million people died! It’s not like it was for a good cause like paying teachers 3,000 dollars less a year

According to research from @jjacobkirksey.bsky.social, in TX "Students with new uncertified teachers lost the equivalent of about four months of learning in reading and three months in math."

Texas kids lose up to 4 months of learning with new uncertified teachers, study findswww.dallasnews.com Students with new uncertified teachers lost the equivalent of about four months of learning in reading and three months in math, the Texas Tech study found.

Watching people who fancy themselves very smart about politics endlessly complain about having to join coalitions of people with different interests than theirs in order to have enough votes to win and therefore not getting everything they want, ie literally what politics is and how it works. Again.

WaPo framing this as Biden is an obstinate old fool when the other guy is a literal felon who tried to overthrow the government.

President Biden made clear that he has little intention of quickly or quietly leaving the presidential race, issuing a blunt warning that if leading Democratic donors and elected officials want to alter his thinking, they are going to have to wage a protracted and public battle.

As Biden digs in, another elected Democrat calls on him to exit racewapo.st The president has warned that if leading Democrats want to alter his thinking about staying in the race, they are going to have to wage a protracted battle. That fight has intensified.

It’s why they make the idea of “defunding the police” politically poisonous but have one of their primary goals be dismantling the IRS and FBI. And luckily they have idiots in the media pumping out the idea on their behalf.

This is the entire view of the right and one they’re pushing out tons of propaganda about. It’s why we get 10,000 stories of people shoplifting from Walgreens and nothing about tax cheats even though it involves multitudes more money. They want to define crime as existing entirely within the poor

Holy. Shit. They're literally saying Trump's felonies aren't that bad compared to the "real felonies". Bear in mind, they're ignoring J6 and "gimme 12000 votes" call and the stolen docs. We joke, but this is literally Newsmax copy.
