Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.

They’re not just targeting immigrants. They’re breaking the small farms that feed us. No labor. No harvest. No safety net. And when those farms go under? Corporate agribusiness will be waiting to buy them cheap. This isn’t a labor crisis. It’s a land grab. #Project2025 #FoodSecurity #Farmers

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

People immediately pivoting to slot Lander into a progressive primary challenge are missing the implicit deal in the cross-endorsement: he's going to be deputy mayor, essentially COO of New York City. He's going to use his experience with the inner workings of government to help Mamdani deliver.

Something I dredged up while sorting through folders: A mock-up of a trailer for a game called Brave Odyssea I was noodling on back in 2016. I'm mainly posting this to showcase David Fenn's amazing theme tune he created (watch it with sound on!).

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

Hearing that Andrew Cuomo’s tried and true strategy of acting like he deserves your vote because he has so many rich friends may actually not work out for him but Mamdani’s unorthodox tactic of knocking on every door in New York seems to be unexpectedly effective?

NEW: The Trump administration’s increasingly bare-knuckle tactics toward federal judges — and the courts’ pointed rejections of the administration’s due process shortcuts — are the defining fight of this political moment. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Mass deportations aren’t just cruelty. They’re sabotage. 14 million tons of food already went unharvested. Now they’re gutting the workforce that feeds this country, without fixing the visa system, pay, or housing rules. This is collapse by design. #Project2025 #FoodSecurity #Immigration

All I can really think about when people start arguing against lifetime copyright for artists for their work are all the older comics artists who made the mega franchises you love...who have to beg for healthcare & financial support.

European democracy groups are warning: Big Tech platforms are now weapons. Designed for emotional manipulation. Driving disinfo, polarization, and violence. They’re not neutral. They’re part of the authoritarian playbook. #Project2025 #Disinformation #BigTech

You know damn well the ICE agents are not officers. They hide their faces because it’s a fraudulent scheme. They get no training on their jobs and are Proud Boys, J6ers, thugs, bullies, gangs. This is so illegal!!!

FEMA funds are now going to fund concentration camps in the everglades instead of helping people after a natural disaster. Seems all the rightwing conspiracy theories about FEMA building camps was projection all along.

contrarian.substack.com/p/time-for-a... A “Democracy Revival 2028” (better than “The Contract with America”) could set down serious reforms to recover our democracy. Surely everyone running as a D can coalesce behind principles like due process, civil rights, and ending executive power grabs.

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

It's sad that so many judges are doing a good job of protecting the rule of law, and 6 corrupt judges in the Supreme Court can undo so much of the good they are doing.

The idea of habeas corpus as a fundamental right comes from the Magna Carta. America is now literally in the dark ages. We’re operating on pre-12th century law and standards of personal liberty.

The truth is simple: Iran signed the NPT. Israel didn’t. Iran allows inspectors. Israel doesn’t. Iran has no nukes. Israel does. But the media still frames Iran as the threat. Thank you, Mehdi Hasan, @mehdirhasan.bsky.social for saying it out loud. #MediaBias #Iran #Israel #DefendDemocracy

The Roberts Court doesn’t rule with logic. It rules with power. They called it debate. They called it uncertainty. But what they upheld was cruelty dressed in law. #Skrmetti #RobertsCourt #TransRights #SCOTUS #Project2025

It appears all but certain that Progressive Democrat, endorsed by AOC and Bernie Sanders, Zohran Mamdani will win the Democratic Primary for NYC Mayor. The Pendulum is apparently swinging hard to the left thanks to Trump. Congrats to Mamdani.

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.
