The Converse ad is vile. And it’s especially vile, *uniquely* vile because there have been at least 22 lynchings of Black people across the US since March 2025. A fact that has been largely unreported and hidden from the national conversation. Extreme TW for this report on lynchings from 2020-2025

Absolute bombshell story about Republican John Sununu, who is running in one of America's biggest elections - a race that could decide control of the U.S. Senate. Read the @levernews.com story and pass it on

This Senate Frontrunner Oversaw “Quality And Compliance.” Women Suffered “Life-Altering Harm.”
New Hampshire GOP Senate hopeful John Sununu oversaw product safety and FDA communications at Boston Scientific as it fought to keep pelvic mesh on the market amid mounting lawsuits.

Fun fact — and reminder: For all their focus on “officer safety” and arguments about aggressive tactics being necessary, no ICE officer has ever been killed in the line of duty. It is more deadly in the US to be an elementary school student than an ICE officer.

While Americans struggle with rising costs, Trump is getting richer and destroying our national monuments. The President should be taking on the housing crisis and affordability; instead, he's building a ballroom for himself using taxpayer dollars and shady corporate donations.

CO GOP Gov candidate Victor Marx got caught taking illegally large campaign contributions, so he told supporters to funnel unlimited money to him through a new online merch site. He wouldn't tell us who ran or it where the money is going... so we bought some merch to find out...

There is no stronger, more effective, or more essential leader for Social Security's long-term future than John Larson. @johnlarsonct.bsky.social
A graphic with a photo of Rep. John Larson. The text says, "John Larson’s legislation to strengthen and guarantee Social Security benefits far into the future requires billionaires to pay the same Social Security tax rate that all the rest of us do. That’s why the billionaires are attacking him now.

There is no stronger, more effective, or more essential leader for Social Security’s long-term future than John Larson. That’s why nearly 200 members of Congress support his legislation to make billionaires pay their fair share into Social Security. - Martin O'Malley, former Social Security Commissioner"

Mocking the Democratic candidates in Maine may feel good now, but reality it’s a very blue environment and Susan Collins is six years older than when she beat Gideon and has been voting with Trump 95% of the time. She gave the go ahead on an extra 70 billion for ICE with no guardrails.
