Whenever I see Dems claim they are out of power, there’s nothing they can do, I think of Brad Lander and how he escorted people to court while being comptroller and running for mayor. Do something or get the f out of the way so there can be more Brad Landers.

Trump's innovation on conservatism wasn't just making it more explicit, it was detaching it from reality completely. Guy who thinks courts are fake at the department of justice. Guy who thinks germs are fake at the department of health. Total triumph of the cranks

The Democratic Party and 'centrist' commentariat's freakout about Zohran Mamdani is exposing both their actual alignments and their propaganda tools (eg, baseless accusations of "antisemitism," fear-mongering about the supposed coming flight of the rich from taxes, etc.) with unusual clarity.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.
