The video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder the 15 aid workers who are clearly in ambulances. These are blatant War Crimes, Israel must be sanctioned and all aid cut off to them now.

The (astroturf) Tea Party gave the GOP its biggest wave since the 1920s, electing 87 new House members in 2010. It moved the Overton Window right, cowed the Obama administration, put fear into Dem lawmakers, and ultimately made Trump possible. Yeah, Dems wouldn’t want that for themselves…

I ask this with sincerity: what is the US to learn from this? There were 50 MILLION people in the streets for months in 2020. 50 MILLION. What did that yield?

The Democratic Party has been throwing working people under the bus for a while. It’s encouraging to see people waking up to it, as it has become unsustainable. Welcome aboard. Let’s demand better: a political party that choosing working people over owner-donors.

So I’m supposed to believe the filibuster both prevents Dems from doing good shit but also is a useless tool for opposing GOP bad shit. Ok.

Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians. ...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.

I have fucking had it & I hope you all have too. I don’t care what any of these individuals in our party do in the coming days to try to make it seem like they did not do what they did today. They showed their fucking cards & that’s it, we don’t have short-term memories and are not idiots like MAGA

Rollover and play dead wins. I'm honestly really sorry everyone. This is a bad, depressing outcome. We tried our best, and we didn't succeed. We're circling up with Indivisible group leaders over the next day to plan for what accountability will look like. Stay tuned.

The administration is doing a good job trying to keep measles cases from being counted, yet we’ve already had more deaths in 2025 than in any of the last 30 yrs. Measles also has a delay (incubation period) between transmission and symptoms, so people can be contagious without knowing they’re sick.

This is particularly scary because it's confirmation that he no longer even cares if he hurts his base. Yeah the cult will stick with him for now, but this is a blaring siren that nothing matters anymore. He will not restrain his authoritarianism because he is afraid to lose his own support.

This is straight-up fascist dictatorship activity. Not fascist-adjacent or “reminiscent of authoritarian regimes” or whatever euphemistic bullshit — fascism.

Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you. /1

The federal minimum wage is still $7.25/hour. Think about what eggs cost. Think about what parking at a parking garage costs. Now how can you think that $7.25 is an adequate wage for an hour of someone’s labor. It’s not.

morality aside: it turns out, as a purely sociological matter, that a politics premised on empowering people who loudly and performatively don't care if discriminated-against Others suffer and die results in surprisingly indiscriminate suffering and death. this needs to be explained to people

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.
