Wow, maybe I should get over to Instagram more often.

Carmen Yulin Cruz just retweeted this:

Last night, I was with @IlhanMN when we heard people at Trump's rally were chanting “send her back."

She was unfazed. Sadly, she said, this racism isn't new.

Ilhan has incredible courage. She won’t back down to Trump’s hate, and neither will we. https://t.co/APxYmEJSOT pic.twitter.com/4BJefURuwP

Do you believe this crap? It’s incredibly awful the way that Trump targets progressive women. So thankful Bernie is in her corner (and that she is in his corner).

Yet another attack today from President Trump on a strong leader. @CarmenYulinCruz has fought tirelessly for Puerto Ricans; Trump has abandoned and denigrated them.

I stand with all Puerto Ricans to demand an end to corruption and the full support of the federal government. https://t.co/URBCTTfDc9

Trump called her “despicable”! I’m in shock, and with Trump that’s hard to achieve.

Buttigieg included almost $1 million of provisional donations to his general election in his total.

No, I had not noticed that. Seems a little sketchy..

The Best Day Of Joe Biden’s Presidential Campaign Was The First One

And other things you can learn from new data on how many donors contributed to Democratic presidential campaigns each day this year.

Palabras de @ricardorossello durante los actos funebres de Rafael Hernandez Colon: “Me enseñó que uno no necesita aferrarse en el poder para aportar a Puerto Rico".

Words from Rafael Hernandez Colon’s @ricardorossello funeral events: “He taught me that one does not need to hold on to power to contribute to Puerto Rico.” It’s time for Ricky to take that advice. #RickyRenuncia…

CNN widely criticized for giving air time to white supremacist Richard Spencer

“Many white nationalists will eat up this red meat that Donald Trump is throwing out there. I am not one of them,” Spencer told CNN. “I recognize the con game that is going on.”

Even this guy from the Daily Caller was apparently appalled:

I can see why Sanders hasn’t “embraced” the Venezuelan government on a political level. Not that his critics won’t act like he did, of course.

Was really great to see John Lewis co-sponsor that resolution!

Code Pink visited Lewis’s office yesterday to thank him. (Not sure if they actually got to meet with him)

OMG. Did you hear what Ilhan Omar just did?

Speaking today to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, Rep. Omar described how H.Res.496 “recognizes the proud history of b…

One of my friends used to sell on Ebay, but Ebay upped their fees and doesn’t get the same traffic that it used to. This particular friend is a retired firefighter who supplements his modest (and insufficient) pension by selling on Amazon. One thing he loves is the way he can scan book barcodes via Amazon.

Don’t get me wrong! I myself never buy…[Read more]

Biden’s angry asshole side really coming out this year. He’s beginning to remind me of my racist FIL when he gets cranky and starts yelling over everyone.

I can see it!

Thank you EyeRound for that good heart of yours! I suspect it’s a wider-spread problem than many know.

I’ve heard some less compassionate people (than yourself) act like all sorts of people are getting away with things, like not paying hospital bills for example, yet my research shows otherwise. Medical debt seems to be the most aggressively…[Read more]

I read someone say just yesterday (was in a thread talking about Amazon’s $10 credit offer ‘if you let it track the websites you visit.’) that Amazon sent them a picture of their recent delivery. And it made me glad I don’t use Amazon (but know small sellers who say it’s a necessity to sell there).

I imagine that threats like that will really turn out the voters.

But that’s ok, if Trump wins they already have someone to blame. I can tell that Third Way is really on my side.

p.s. I loved it when Bernie called Third Way out in the interview on Tim Black’s segment! And he used TW to illustrate how it’s not being “paranoid”-they…[Read more]
