Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

The weird, often whitewashed way the civil rights movement is taught (or not taught) seemed to convince a lot of people that nonviolence was met with nonviolence, instead of you know, dogs, hoses, beatings, death, etc

One argument I tried to make to centrist, right-leaning folks during 2024 was that if you really hate street protest and unrest and chaos, then you should absolutely not vote for Donald Trump, because he 100% guarantees more.

kind of just endlessly sad and grieving that there are so few voices in the public sphere making the basic principled argument that immigration is an affirmative good in every way and the best way for this country to serve humanity is to welcome people who want or need to leave their homes

If lawyers for the government represented in court that the government lacked the ability to get him back, the federal court has the power to get answers about whether those representations were false. I believe it should do so vigorously.

The GOP broke the law to deport this man—then decided to indict him. Court order? Ignored. Due process? Tossed. Now they want credit for “law and order”? Chile, please. Y’all did the process completely backwards. This is Trump’s America: lawless, reckless, and cruel.

these people keep forgetting that part of the reason LEOs are typically uniformed is because if you see some masked goon in street clothes ziptying your neighbor and shoving them in a van, you are within your rights to intervene

Your bill is going to cut coverage for 11 million Americans and it’ll still cost more than universal healthcare. Healthcare is a human right, you absolute ghouls.

This should not controversial, but somehow it is. I believe EVERYONE deserves healthcare, no matter who you are, what you do, or where you were born.

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.

ATTACK THEM ON EVERY FUCKING THING. EVERY TIME. EVERY DAY. RUIN THEIR MISERABLE LIVES. SHAME THEIR SUPPORTERS AND THEIR FAMILIES. MAKE YOUR SUPPORTERS ASHAMED TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH THEM. You don’t even mention that he’s a rapist pedophile, why the fuck not? What’s wrong with you?

Between 1989 and 2023, the Family Circus ran this same panel three times, but just kept drastically increasing the price of a visit to the doctor. I think this is inadvertently a more hard-hitting piece of political commentary than anything you’ll see in Mallard Filmore

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

If I were a dem strategist I think I would take figures like this along with the cuts to funding and outright research band and run with the message “republicans are trying to kill you with diseases and they will succeed if you don’t stop them”

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

It's not a crackdown on immigration, it's a crackdown on immigrants A lot of people are being kidnapped and sent to unnamed detention facilities or even rendered to some other nation and they didn't even do anything wrong What "enforcement" is actually happening here? I see a lot of bullying.

Somehow the "We need to support policies that are popular" crowd never land on the very popular polices like "taxing big corporation more," "making health care more affordable," or "paying teachers more." It's always just "be 10% more racist."

Again, these groups are attempting to retcon the 2024 election we all lived through to claim Dems overly catered to Big Trans or The Groups or whatever. In fact, Republicans—and via them the media—are the ones who zeroed in on the culture war while we focused on economic issues. We still lost.

RFK Jr. wants to eliminate as many vaccines as he can. Don’t believe him when he claims otherwise and says he just wants better science and safer vaccines He’s lying. His endgame is, for all practical purposes, to eliminate access to vaccines. thehill.com/policy/healt...
