I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

Thou shalt not let people be murdered at home for their political beliefs and just “move on.” Thou shalt not let children be murdered at school for trying to learn and just “move on.” Thou shalt never stop fighting to make these horrors end.

NEW: John Roberts is oblivious. Again. My latest. www.muellershewrote.com/p/john-rober...

This should be a constitutional requirement, in addition to not being an insurrectionist.

I am still in shock. I still can't QUITE believe this miracle! And it is thanks to you! My readers have more oomph and pizzazzzz than any readers on Earth. So that's Champagne I'm shooting out the water pistols. (KIDDING. It's water, but the great photographer, Elinor Carucci got the shot!!)

This sentence, typed in her dissent, should scare the living fuck out of everyone in this country. "This Supreme Court is an existential threat to the rule of law." – Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

Brett Meiselas: Criticizing that government, criticizing Netanyahu, criticizing what's happening in Gaza does not make you anti-Semitic… just like criticizing Donald Trump does not make you anti-American.

Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Newsom: The gloves are off. Let’s go. We’re gonna call out the bullshit. And the propaganda. And the weaponization of lies and disinformation on networks like Fox…

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful. Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood. We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

‘Trump Declares War on Iran. That's Now Four Nations, and Counting’ johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-decl...

Sickening to see an $893 billion defense budget for drones and missiles while brutal cuts elsewhere shatter lives. Thousands of children bear the cost of this twisted priority, their futures sacrificed for war toys.

US Bishops on One Beautiful Bill Act: “As Pope Leo XIV recently stated, it is the responsibility of politicians to promote and protect the common good, including by working to overcome great wealth inequality. This bill does not answer this call. It takes from the poor to give to the wealthy.”

I love how the right is trying to scare us by saying the United States is turning into one of those European countries with great mass transit and free healthcare.

Rieckhoff: That’s America’s Secretary of Defense. I wish he attacked Vladimir Putin as aggressively as he attacks CNN and others

KKKaroline got caught lying on behalf of Orange Jeezus, trying to make him the founder of the phrase “peace through strength.” *queues sound of loud game show buzzer.* Gilead Barbie always makes herself look like such a nitwit. 😂🤣😂🤣

Brilliant. 10/10. No notes.

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

Since @repandyogles wants to go after @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social — how about we listen to @repjasmine.bsky.social Crockett talk about Melania’s status? 😬

This story was under covered by our cowardly media🤨 this is really an assault on America and it's a story that shouldn't go away until something is done about it this is scary stuff 👇🏼💙🇺🇸

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.

He came from a fake boardroom, ran a fake charity, a fake university, faked his net worth, faked Time magazine covers, lied about crowd sizes, and ran on a fake law and order stance. Now we’re stuck in the rerun of a rigged reality show.

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

I wish we could be more like elephants 🐘 ❤️👇🏼

Watch this. Because this is the way: Local officials using their platform right, reaching out to the community. Ambrocio “Enrique” Lozano, affectionately known as “the popsicle man,” was reportedly abducted in broad daylight in Culver City. Masked man. White van. Cart left behind in the street.

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.

Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

“I promise you, it would have been a war crime.” that’s what Alejandro Barranco told me what would have happened if he treated a detainee when he was deployed to Afghanistan with the Marines like federal agents treated his father.

Kill the brutal bill. Before it kills us.

5. William Henry Harrison // 1841 6. John Tyler // 1841–1845 7. Millard Fillmore // 1850–1853 8. Warren G. Harding // 1921–1923 9. Herbert Hoover // 1929–1933 10. Zachary Taylor // 1849–1850 2/2

Who do you think trump will kick off the top 10 worst presidents list in US history this time? 1. James Buchanan // 1857–1861 2. Andrew Johnson // 1865–1869 3. Franklin Pierce // 1853–1857 4. Donald Trump // 2017–2021 1/2

AOC from the top rope 🔥….grandpa is gonna love that last part

Trump & the GOP have: -Killed CFPB rules saving consumers $15B in overdraft and credit card late fees -Dropped 22 CFPB actions against corporate lawbreakers -Halted $100M in restitution owed to student borrowers They're on corporate predators' side, not yours.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

A week ago a MAGA pastor assassinated two democrat politicians in an act of terror…. It’s not even in the top three stories of the month…
