This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

Zohran Mamdani’s plan to tax the rich is a 2% tax on income over $1 million. If you make $1.1 million, you’d pay an extra $2,000. Watching working class conservatives and politicians completely meltdown about this is wild.

Yeah, Democracy was rough. Not having neighbors rounded up & sent to concentration camps, not wasting $200 mn on a futile bombing raid, not forcing the military to put on a parade for his birthday, not kicking millions off healthcare so oligarchs could pay less tax, not killing cancer research ..

This is disgusting. All Americans should hang their heads in shame at the kind of country this is becoming.

I cannot properly put into words what it feels like to be in DC today other than I drove straight thru Capitol Hill from Union Station on my way to my hotel (across from DoE) & saw diplomatic plates on Escalades & what appeared to be well dressed folks coming out of meetings… status quo.

I simply think all conservatives should take a fucking hint a leave a place they aren’t liked. This is why I left Ohio.

A man that's been president for a total of more than 4.5 years still believes those claiming asylum are people being released from mental health facilities.

The Republican Party is the verminous, bigoted party of ignorance and anti-Americanism, striving to turn this into a totalitarian blood-and-soil shithole.

I’m very happy Cuomo lost. You can’t call yourself the greatest city in the world and elect that guy mayor. Glad we’re on the same page here.

A 21-year-old Norwegian was stopped at Newark airport. ICE asked to see his phone and found a picture of JD Vance (a rare Vance). Then things got nasty. “I was pushed up against a wall and was strip-searched with a lot of force. They were incredibly harsh and used physical force the whole time"

The cool ones were also largely not white. I am begging people to understand that a lot of white Gen X (just like Boomers, Millennials & Gen Z) was always bigoted. A lot of Gen X of color was arrested for BS and lost the right to vote. We are living through the results

How about Democrats stop letting Republicans define any policy that they don't like (all policies that actually help non-billionaires) as "socialist?" (As they've done for a century now.) How about Dems run to their base, run to the next generation, run to their principles, run to good policies?

Yesterday I was in Virginia Beach for work. Inglorious Basterds was on so I watched it with renewed vigor. As soon as Brad Pitt finished carving a swastika into Christof Waltz’s forehead & the credits started rolling, I looked out the window of our bus to see this..

Again and again, the Free Press spent years complaining about illiberalism and when confronted with the first truly authoritarian government of our lifetimes went from being soft apologists to full throated endorsers
