Democrats remain vulnerable to the right's framing on an endless series of ginned-up moral panics. Dems' instinct is always to meet the right halfway on whatever bullshit they've cooked up. This is a result of not have their own policy platform beyond diet fascism and slightly less corruption.

This is a heartbreaking, infuriating and completely avoidable tragedy. This is what the terror ICE rains down on our communities results in. A baby is dead because a caretaker was too terrified of being taken to risk calling for help. FUCK ICE www.wsmv.com/2025/05/22/t...

This level of corruption is exactly why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social and @liccardo.house.gov introduced the MEME Act. Federal officials like President Trump shouldn’t be using their office to profit off of digital assets like collectible meme coins.

Building on Covid era learnings, it's possible and stabilizing for American Universities to establish reciprocity agreements and satellite campuses in the locations where their international students reside without ever missing a beat. There's no reason to be distracted by another corrupt shakedown.

🚨 ICE agents in masks and no uniforms abducting people from a Phoenix immigration court - no ID, no explanation, no due process. This is not law enforcement. This is authoritarianism. Demand accountability. Stay loud. Stay informed. Stay safe.

This should be a HUGE national story yet not many are talking about it. Under-age girls in juvenile detention centers are being sexually assaulted and it's being covered up by the management in these privately-owned detention centers! Archived version so there's no paywall here: archive.ph/BJV1t

Reminded today why I quit using Twitter long before Erlon turned up. Declaring people to be wrong and saying they are clueless doesn't establish authority on a thing.
