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.

Lot of questions about why Macron called snap elections. One clear factor: By ordering speed campaign, he expected Left could not unite, & so they'd be knocked out in Round 1, helping his own party. Instead, Left united within days—& now surged to win biggest bloc in Assembly.

Republicans also just killed a program that provided a $30 discount on broadband bills for poor people because they're good faith populists who care about rural Americans or whatever

Project 2025

Project 2025 - Lawyers, Guns & Moneywww.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com Project 2025 is one of the Republican campaign’s big vulnerabilities, after Donald Trump and the operatives and elected officials who are calling for blood. Trump and even Stephen Miller now recognize this and have issued claims that they had no idea this was going on, which are not credible. Project 2025 is an enunciation of […]

Results from the French election! New Caledonia elected an independentist MP for the first time of its history, at a time of major unrest. Left swept 6 seats in Guiana and Martinique. In Guadeloupe, all 4 seats went to left-leaning candidates, though only two ran with an affiliation to Left bloc.

Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. Let it be the pioneer on the plain Seeking a home where he himself is free. (America never was America to me.)

I didn't vote Labour in this election but I can see 11 people in this Cabinet photo that I rate highly as effective politicians, 2 of them as effective ministers. Anneliese Dodds is interesting for international development. She could raise the profile of climate and UKaid in ways that Lammy can't.

Keir Starmer’s new cabinet marks a historic moment in British politics, with a record number of state-educated Ministers & the lowest proportion of privately educated Ministers since 1945🌹

The thing that's obvious to everyone and that nobody can actually write in the press is that the American (and yes, I'm sure elsewhere too) right wing is led by bad people and the object is to make more people extremely bad in basically every respect. It's anti-society

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Whatever happens in politics, it's not going to stop me from helping my neighbors, friends, and family. And in turn getting helped when I need it. If you're feeling hopeless I strongly urge getting more *involved* in your community, whatever that looks like (online or offline)! We have each other.

If you are not to become a monster, you must care what they think. If you care what they think, how will you not hate them, and so become a monster of the opposite kind? From where then is love to come—love for your enemy that is the way of liberty? From forgiveness. Forgiven, they go

pretty stunning how the billionaire class(and yes that means the legacy media) have completely turned on Biden. They'd rather have a fascist dictatorship than pay taxes and a living wage to employees. Insane power grab in front of the cameras

I’m not saying Biden should drop out. I’m just wondering how he wins over undecideds when teams of reporters and Twitter trolls are scrutinizing every syllable he utters for signs of impairment while every deranged thing Trump says is treated as old news. (2/2)
