I wish the USA had respected Jimmy Carter more than they had. He was an amazing man. He was probably the most honest president we have ever had.

At a time when we desperately need to bring down the temperature, the president of the United States is deliberately turning up the heat. His thirst for chaos and division is dangerous and deeply un-American.

One weird indignity of being a feminist in America is not just that a belief in women’s inferiority is part of the political mainstream, but that the violence of those who hold that belief is considered unremarkable.

The Atlantic piece on Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo is full of holes. Mamdani's proposals are picked apart and labeled unrealistic while Cuomo's supposed goals aren't even elaborated on. Cuomo is "an asshole, but he's our asshole"—the New Yorkers who he has sexually harassed might think otherwise

I am pretty sure the people have spoken. This isn't what we want. And the whole point of this weekend? A message to our current president: No Kings. You work for us, not the other way around.

Patriot Front crashed Springfield, MO Pride festival. Driving a Penske truck. U-Haul banned Patriot Front from renting their vehicles. It’s time for people to tell Penske to do the same.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

Bash: Trump "said that he spoke with... Putin, that the two are agreeing that the conflict between Israel and Iran should end." Pence: "As Vladimir Putin continues his brutal ... invasion in Ukraine, using drones provided by Iran ... we ought to be looking elsewhere than Vladimir Putin for advice."

Listening to an interview of a woman whose husband was taken by ICE. It’s very like the family stories I heard about Kristallnacht, but without the broken glass, and spread out rather than on one day. People desperate to get family members back but no idea how, and opposition at every point.

At least 12 million people ( 3.7% of US pop) took a stand against the Trump regime and fascism on Saturday. The next step is a national general strike and boycotts. When 3.5% of the whole population of a nation has begun to participate in resistance, success is inevitable. #3E #NoKings #StopICE

97% of extremist-related murders in the U.S. in 2024 were linked to right-wing extremists. It’s not a political movement anymore - it’s a hobby for failed men with too much testosterone and not enough brain cells.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Assasinations of state senators is NOT common. Maybe if our intelligence agencies and military were doing their jobs, tracking threats online for example, this may have been avoided. Instead, they’re tracking Jose’s bodega and Jesus’s fruit stand #FAIL www.bbc.com/news/article...

MAGA terrorist Vance Boelter shot MN lawmakers. A Trump loyalist & registered Republican, he left behind a kill list with 70 Democrats, including Gov. Walz and Rep. Omar. MAGA influencers are falsely blaming left extremism, when clearly it’s Christian Nationalism
