I love when someone is like "wow kids are a lot of work," and a bunch of people jump on them saying "not if you raise them correctly!!!!!". That is the work that is a lot unfortunately. I do fear the correct raising of children is the aforementioned great deal of work

It would be so great if Democratic Party elected officials would start acting as if they’re living under a government that will lawlessly kill or arrest them for the crime of political opposition.

I am watching Sen. Alex Padilla talk on the Senate floor about being assaulted last week, as I watch New York City controller Brad Lander get assaulted at immigration court. In between reports on the two MN Democrats shot, one murdered, last weekend. But both sides, people, both sides.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

I am wondering why Lisa Leher from the @nytimes.com did not discuss the data that suggests political violence in the US in the current era mostly comes from the right. Seems like a strange fact to ignore. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/u...

76% of politically motivated shootings and extremist-related killings in the U.S. over the past decade were of a right-wing nature. Left-wing motivated shootings were roughly 3%. So, both sides do it.

If you're mad that there are no next steps proposed, what are the next steps you propose? Organizers are always interested in hearing ideas.

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

Over 5 million people marched Saturday in over 2,000 nationwide protests as part of the “No Kings” movement that stands against President Trump, organizers said. Chicago police said roughly 20,000 showed to the local event. blockclubchi.co/44id2A8

It’s soooo unreal that every day we see something with our own eyes and people are like “that’s not what happened and in fact something the opposite is true” and then there are a bunch of articles like “who’s lying? The liars or your brain?”

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

It would be great if America’s pundits would pause this entire genre. “Burning down my house means I don’t need to take out the trash!” Your cleverness is not winning the day right now.

The reporters who can fairly and accurately cover protests are not working at the NYT. WAPO, CNN etc... they are freelancers or working at independent publications.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

A friend just asked me what I do to stay hopeful and I told him one of my favorite strategies…I stay hopeful by remembering that no one has any idea what the fuck is going to happen, so as long as we don’t know, we gotta do what we can.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.
