Disenfranchising the most reliable voting block (older Black women) was part of the plan. Are yall paying attention yet?

we love to see it.

And the jobs of the future somehow bear a striking resemblance to the jobs of the past. They want our children and grandchildren on assembly lines, in mines, and in the fields. Generation after generation. This is the plan to create a world in which we are all piece-workers in service to oligarchs.

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

Mom & minor daughters are citizens who just moved from MD to Oklahoma. This statement from the Mom should be read, absorbed & circulated. ICE cannot be allowed to terrorize vulnerable families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social kfor.com/news/local/w...

Indeed, it's a fantastic book.

Stock market is down, USD is down, basis trade may be unwinding- but more concerning? Bond market is unraveling. Treasury yields are soaring. We’re witnessing the kind of financial instability typically seen in fragile economies. The cost of imported goods will go up on top of tariffs. Why? Trump.

It works. The government here largely works. Because we are so spoiled by how well it works, we are letting a fool convince us it is broken.

Boasberg has found that probable cause exists to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt for violation of his order regarding using the Alien Enemies Act to deport people suspected of being Venezuelan gang members. I have no idea what happens next. www.npr.org/2025/04/16/g...

Meanwhile, Lauren Underwood is 38 years old, in great physical and mental health, is in her 4th term serving a purple district in Congress, and has gotten more legislation passed than anyone else in her class. And is polling very well.

The Black woman VP answered a Lester Holt question in a way inside-the-beltway folks didn't like. The white man VP just tweeted that he doesn't believe in due process. Which do you think will get more outrage from our national political press?

Miss me with this. You helped poison the well against Biden and Harris because you got high on your own supply of bullshit fumes and adulation from the population least at risk, white dudebros. You dismissed and derided critics like you did Wyatt Cenac when he called you out on race.

Y’all notice that as soon as racism became about White people that shit got fixed real fast?

The Absolute TRUTH 💯 Not surprising...

Bernie Sanders can be such a grifter.

FACTS!

A+ troll!

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

Primary!

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

104% tariff on China is going to crush the working class.

This crisis is like the COVID pandemic except it's caused by a guy who ran for president on a platform of "I have engineered a virus that will shut down the global economy, and if you elect me, I will release it"

Oh look - soon our life-saving drugs will be unaffordable and many of us will die. Good times!

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

Not a single person saying this is going to work one of these jobs, nor have they likely ever worked these jobs in the past. But also, what made these jobs bearable was they were well-paying union jobs where you traded monotony, physical toil for a good middle-class life. They aren’t offering that.

I’m sure the young guys who’ve been told the world owes them an easy life will jump at the chance to work a twelve hour shift at a blast furnace

Yes, it's her official account.

What happened in Louisiana deserves more attention. 4 MAGA-supported constitutional amendments. All failed. Great organizing work by folks like Gary Chambers. www.joyannreid.com/p/that-louis...

Standing tall in the moment.

The data don’t lie, America wants to fight back.

She’s here!!!! Woot!

The spectacle is the point - 1. It assuages the id of Trump voters who want to see immigrants being terrorized. 2. It also accomplished a version of schotastic terrorism so that we, the onlookers, understand the consequences of resisting the state.

RIP Richard Chamberlain. 🌹 🕊️

Tell it!!

Trust me.

GOOD! A rare thing out of Texas I agree with. apnews.com/article/sele...

“The last time a Democrat won this seat was in 1889.” 🤯

🚨Good morning good people! Please pay attention! I’m going to be out of the country and busy so I may not be able to remind you! There are a plethora of elections on Tuesday, April 1st! Alaska, Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Wisconsin 🚨

I literally was warning last year during the election that they would do this, at the same time some protesters were falsely saying there was no difference between Kamala Harris & Trump. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Call your uncles and congratulate them on no longer being the most embarrassing members of group chats.

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy. Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Reducing red tape to build more housing was literally a core component of Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign. But Ezra Klein will never her credit for that.

Kamala Harris: Let’s cut red tape so we can build more housing. Too many people: Crickets. Ezra Klein & Derek Thompson saying the same thing months later. Too many white people: They’re geniuses! I’m done w/ this sh*t bc I’ve seen people doing this to her for years.

Take a look at this thread from Senator Whitehouse on how a shutdown would have accelerated the Trump regime's agenda. Then, check out the comments to his thread to see how willingly people are ready to accelerate GOP efforts to divide and conquer Democrats.
