At this point if there is a nom-incumbent name on the Democratic primary ballot, you should vote for them. Any name—doesnt matter who, so long as they are not part of whatever the fuck this is

Chuds of the K hole

They will never try believing different things to address economic inequality. Brutal austerity capitalism can be solved with a simple PR gloss.

They blame pollution but cut the EPA and clean air and water regulations. They blame poor nutrition but cut SNAP and programs to bring local produce to schools. They blame increased screen time while destroying public infrastructure that connects people. All while they take millions off healthcare.

What happened to "raking the forest"?

Dear Lord lmao

Must be nice to be able to go to a hospital and get treatment without fearing that it will be bombed to ground or that the doctors will be summarily executed

Wanna see something incredibly ... bad? Here's Alito quoting a source to suggest that you can't do habeas class actions: 1/

#BREAKING: Supreme Court extends block on Alien Enemy Act removals from Northern District of Texas; sends case to Fifth Circuit to reach merits of whether AEA proclamation is legal and how much process is due. Only Justices Thomas and Alito publicly dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

It's possible to get PACER fee waivers, but they're not available to journalists like Chris. The US Courts should reevaluate this policy. It's embarrassing to paywall this kind of essential work.

This is a funny story because of how it establishes that all around the world, even the most nihilistic ultra-rich freaks are realizing this shit is stupid, wasteful, and unnecessary and Trump is like "the big plane has a couch in it, it's the highest premium leather," www.forbes.com/sites/jeremy...

Here is a clip of the student's speech.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

I am the same on this. I don't know what the "abundance" shit means. My guess though is it doesn't involve raising tax rates or enforcing existing tax law against our oligarchs, so I will continue to ignore it.

POPE IS FROM CHICAGO POPE IS FROM CHICAGO

“Barnard and Columbia issued interim suspensions Thursday afternoon to four student journalists who covered a Wednesday pro-Palestinian protest in Butler Library, citing “information received” from Public Safety indicating the reporters’ alleged involvement in the protest”

i will never get past this. the collapse of the global trade system because one guy does not understand what a trade deficit is.

This guy shouldn't be a senator for a lot of reasons

“No one is spared—not children, persons with disabilities, nursing mothers, journalists, health professionals, aid workers, or hostages. Since breaking the ceasefire, Israel has killed hundreds of Palestinians, many daily—peaking on 18 March 2025 with 600 casualties in 24 hours, 400 were children."

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments state “no person” not “no citizen” regarding due process protections. The language is intentional. How do we know that? Within the Fourteenth Amendment, the Privileges and Immunities Clause specifically says “citizens” not “persons.”

An opposition party that struggles to defeat this man and his party in elections should dismantle and remake itself.

Dems lost to a political mastermind

Personally I would take it as a severe indictment if my work was cited positively, repeatedly, by the Trump administration—but that's me

Honestly this is just incredible content.
