NYC Comptroller Brad Lander: "I don't think the line for the [Democratic] party right now is between progressives and moderates; I think it's between fighters and folders."

Here is a list of all the senators who voted against requiring congressional approval before taking any further military action in Iran. Anyone who voted against congressional approval need to be voted out. Looking at you, Fetterman. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #MomSky

this is another huge downside of the Republican reconciliation disaster they’re trying to push through it supercharges ICE funding, which is going to be spent on concentration camps and goon squads, and this sort of thing will be inescapable people are going to fucking hate it

“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

Gift link to a chilling report from Haaretz that everyone should read. Even if only a fraction of this (and some of the paper’s previous detailed reporting on possible war crimes) is true, we should all be deeply saddened and sickened, as I am right now. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Not to mention that the Supreme Court is full of tradcath theocrats, the Secretary of Defense is neo-Calvinist theocrat, the Vice President is a tradcath theocrat . . .

@fetterman.senate.gov when you’re making Rand Paul look comparatively reasonable, it’s time to resign and never return to electoral politics.

Opting out of the real world, of biology, of how the world functions around us. Instead the stories of a fantasy book, alienating another generation of children who will be taught prejudices and exclusion from a young age. 2025 ....

In Trump v. Casa, @stevespaulding.bsky.social tells @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy the Supreme Court went "out of its way to make it more difficult for courts to reign in" executive overreach. While "it narrowed the tools available to block illegal conduct ... there are other tools available."

Justice Jackson did not come to play today (Birthright citizenship/nationwide injunctions)

“No right is safe in the new legal regime the Court creates.” –Justice Sonia Sotomayor. One of the most chilling sentences I have ever read.
