There should be an earnest call to pack the courts by Dem leadership. It should be a thought out campaign to explain to the American people why it’s necessary.

I've said it before, I'll say it again: pitch it as increasing SCOTUS to at least 100 Justices, with randomly selected pools of 9 to hear each case, such that no single Justice matters so much.

Well-meaning folks on Bluesky who dismiss sportsball as some kind of distraction to What Matters Now are missing a key point in creating an alternative to X: Sports for better or worse dominates American culture. You ignore enormous swaths of potential allies when you dismiss sports.

I haven’t yet fully attempted this, but I imagine I could semi radicalize a lot of moderate—or even conservative—people I work with through a sports lens. Hating “the owner” is a probably a good place to start.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

The Trump administration has spent months illegally impounding funds in the name of waste, fraud, and abuse. Congressional Republicans are now seeking to cut GAO, an organization dedicated to rooting out waste, frauds abuse, roughly in half.

Good morning. We knew the answers to questions like these when the JCPOA was in effect. Again, in a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from that agreement would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation.

think Ganz is right here: "The politics of national despair needs figures like Cuomo to become the default setting of American politics. Then figures like Trump can present themselves as alternatives. They represent almost identical brands of sleaze and corruption."

I really wish journalists world stop pretending Trump is guided by anything but impulse and id. He's a toddler with no object permanence. We're governed by the lizard-brained impulses of a mad king, and the unwillingness of legacy media to acknowledge that reality is a big part of why we're here.

This whole, "sexual assault and harassment is bad when Trump does it, but ok when our side does it," is sending a really clear message that the old guard of Democratic leadership only cares about women when it's politically advantageous. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

I feel like the point of thinking of self care as a radical act is that it’s about getting back to a point where you can get back out there and keep fighting, not just ceasing all activism entirely in favor of the self. But many people think it’s the latter.

As US rhetoric about Iran heats up, let’s remember what Gayatri Spivak said about the self-justifying rhetoric of colonization: “white men saving brown women from brown men.” Rescuing women is just a mask for seizing power, land, and resources.

If people really find this to be such an easy conclusion, then Congressional authority should be easy to get. So why don’t they insist on a vote? They know this isn’t “progressive” resistance. They want to marginalize it as such because on top of this war being ILLEGAL, it’s also deeply unpopular.
