The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

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.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor OrbĆ”n, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

You voted for lower groceries and taxes… you didn’t get either. But you do get military in your streets, infighting in the White House, exorbitant spending and manufactured chaos.

Kristi Noem in Feb 2024: If Biden federalizes the National Guard [to handle border issues], we’ve got a war on our hands.ā€l Kristi Noem in 2025 as DHS Secretary: …federalizing the National Guard.

The numbers are in. And the new data reveals the money being spent on Trump’s, Kim Jong Un style military parade could feed every single homeless veteran in America for more than 4 months. Don't ever let Republicans claim they are the party of fiscal responsibility

"Maybe it's time for us to be a little bit meaner. Maybe it's time for us to be a little more fierce."

The media needs to stop using trumps stupid fucking terms Big Beautiful Bill Liberation Day It's making this entire country sound like stupid fucking morons

yes. this.

Georgia bans organ donation of someone who died w/o their consent—but Georgia’s 6 week abortion ban is now forcing a brain dead woman to stay alive w/o her consent because she was 9 weeks pregnant when she went brain dead. Even a corpse in Georgia has more rights over its body than do women & girls

At least we have this to look forward to…

I just really, really, really want to watch the next Federalist Society meeting where they have to pretend Jeanine Pirro is a serious, good choice. TAKE IT FEDERALISTS THAT’S RIGHT, TAKE IT ALLLLLLLL

Chicago Pope's here

we lost two Super Hornets to the waves and I haven’t seen any discussion of the race or gender of anyone who might be at fault, which means I have a pretty good guess as to the race and gender of everyone who might be at fault

Some days I think about all the far Leftists who spent the entire 2024 presidential campaign on performative outrage against Kamala Harris, and wonder if they think it was worth it.

. It starts local. SC needs to flood school boards, city councils, and state races with young, bold progressives. You can’t flip a red state top-down you flip it from the ground up. Build the bench. Own the future. Get Lindsey Graham the fuck out. .

Pritzker sounds off the political equivalent of Jerry Maguire’s manifesto, "The Things We Think and Do Not Say". He is going to be a force in the days ahead.

My theory that most people are simply not very smart continues to pan out daily

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

Telling my boss that I've written 200 beautiful emails and I'll be revealing them very strongly in the next few weeks. I can't say who I sent the emails to or what they were about but the response has been frankly very positive and I think you'll be very happy

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

Our 401ks have dropped 15% in value since Trump took office and the dollar has declined 11% in two months. We’re literally 25% poorer in the last 100 days.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

ONE IF BY LAND TWO IF BY D.C. the north end church in boston it’s 250 years today @northendpage.bsky.social

On April 18, the Old North Church—where two lanterns once sparked the American revolution—will ring its bells for democracy. I hope houses of worship across the country will join them in this nationwide call to protect our freedom. Learn how your congregation can take part.

This guy's a hero. Good shit, Senator.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.

"You will never know, how much it cost the present Generation, to preserve your Freedom! I hope you will make a good Use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the Pains to preserve it." - John Adams He is repenting so hard right now.

ā€œTerrible things are happening outside. Poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart. Men, women, and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared.ā€ Diary of Anne Frank January 13, 1943

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
