This is utterly horrifying. She's sending federal law enforcement into LA to "liberate" it from its democratically elected government. If that's not police-state talk, I don't know what is. (Then she arrests a senator.) The war is on, friends, whether you like it or not.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

I know I'm not the first to say this, but not enough cis women realize that the fight on gender-affirming care for trans people is our fight, too. You think the Fed Soc conservatives will stop there? They'll come for the hormones cis women need to not have our lives wrecked during menopause. /1

one of the most important things to learn, if you're out there doing things: you don't get to talk about it. you don't get to brag about it, you don't get to tell your friends, you don't get drinks bought for you in the bar off the story. it's always shut the fuck up friday

Seems to me what we’re seeing across the federal government are the dividends being paid from years of adopting market language to talk about public goods. Run government like a business? Businesses exist to make profit. Government exists to serve the people. We’re about to see the difference now.

This fawning profile of Donald Trump as a "spiritual teacher" and "mentor" for his Jewish supporters appeared in Israel's most popular daily newspaper today. For eighteen months Joe Biden sent them unlimited weapons. They threw him overboard anyway. Don't give in to fascists, example one billion.

After Green interrupted last night, another Democrat should have done the same thing. And then another, until all of them had to be removed. Delay the speech by a few hours. Or walk out en masse. Anything. Calling Trump an existential threat means nothing if you can’t meet the fucking moment.

Just got fired from being a freshman football coach, if you want to know what MAGA does to communities. They don’t care about what helps people, because the school is certainly not going to find an ex-NFL player willing to coach there at that level, they only care about trying to hurt people.

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.

please stop telling people that x, y, or z "is a distraction." we've been doing this for nearly a decade now. all the things are the things. theyre all the fights. its like arguing that japan attacking in the pacific was a distraction from hitler attacking in europe. its all the war.

What the US is experiencing right now is fascism. There's no other word for it and pretending that it's verboten to say so diminishes the truth as much as they are diminishing the truth. It's fascism. It's arrived.

Donald Trump promised he was gonna lower costs and make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office two weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up because of Trump’s Tax on Working Families.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)
