The left needs to work with liberals because a) the left is mostly liberals even if people pretend they aren't and b) the number of people who are committed to leftist politics is absolutely tiny.

#OtD 22 Feb 2018 20,000 teachers across West Virginia walked out on a wildcat strike protesting low pay and health benefit cuts. Rank and file teachers organised themselves, defied the union's call to return and stayed out until they won a 5% pay rise stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9...

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

AOC believes in Democratic Tea Party 2026. Do you?

No. Stop. I can't become a college of cardinals elections sicko on top of everything else

"BETRAYED. First Zelensky, soon us? The radical turning away of the USA from its allies." Today's cover of the German Der Spiegel.

They actually did this this is all so horrible, illegal and incredibly stupid

Trump is proving that what DEI is really about is preventing people from consistently hiring unqualified White men when there are qualified women and people of color. And that's why Trump hates DEI.

PRAMS is the source of data for basically every effort to limit infant mortality and all the health dangers mothers face before and after birth. So a pretty big deal the Elon and Co decided to cancel the program.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

a better world is possible

Musk and Zuckerberg are running censorship engines for a fascist regime.

Meta is a censorship engine for a fascist regime

Trump take egg

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

This is the government, putting our fellow Americans, in mortal danger.

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Beautiful sign from today’s citizen action at the Tesla dealership in Berkeley CA.

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

Going to start doing RETVRN posting for basic government functioning. Going “this is what they took from you” and it’s a childhood vaccine schedule and pasteurized milk without any manure in it.

I think the most wrong I have ever been as a political scientist was when I said in a public forum in 2020 that there would not be political violence in the US (Jan 6 was 2 mos later). Tonight’s purges are a clear precursor to more future such violence. This is textbook authoritarian abuse stuff.

Firing career military officers for obeying the orders of the previous President sets up chaotic and dangerous incentives for senior commanders to shirk and scheme. Trump should wonder, will his generals resist following his orders on fear of what the next POTUS will do?

Also note the context of some bad polling numbers for Musk, a few GOP in Congress raising a few questions, and another story or two of "WH insiders and Cabinet Secs worried and unhappy about Musk". Trump is really doubling down on Elon, not throwing him overboard.

Oh, FFS, this is nuts. Beyond legallity, love to see how this works for DOD/Intel people who only have classified email working on TS and above stuff. Or say, wildland fire fighters or prison guards? www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

The stage of capitalism where companies advertise on a Nazi porn site for fear of government reprisal. gizmodo.com/it-sure-look...

by the time of the convention, tlaib and the other dissenters were practically begging harris and the dem leadership to give them anything they could hang their hat on and the dems still refused

Democrats can't fight #Trump because in a lot of ways, they're still fighting Bernie @Sanders.senate.gov

First ever Secretary of State to just get out there and say “we are weak, come walk all over us”

As per usual, @chrisgeidner.bsky.social has managed to distill exactly what needs to be said. Litigation is crucial. Yes, the courts are captured. Yes, laws are not real. Whatever. We should still be litigating tooth and nail.

Guy who doesn’t even respond to the mothers of his children: reply to my email or you’re fired

why do a swastika instead of, say, the three arrows? again, it desensitizes people, may confuse them of your intent or allow them to misrepresent it, and is triggering for victims of nazi persecution and their descendants.

scream this from the rooftops. never let them forget. don't let them get away with pretending that they aren't collaborators with fascism and right-wing transgendercide.

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

LOL Poilievre may be pulling off the biggest political choke job since Thomas Dewey

Hey @halbfinger.bsky.social, could you or someone else at the Times explain how firing a qualified senior general “root[s] out diversity initiatives?” Which initiative specifically did this “root out?”

So based on the article below, as of January the voting members of the College of Cardinals consisted of: 6 JPII 23 Benedict 110 Francis Just so everyone knows what the lay of the land is

Republicans=Nazis
