“We’re the good guys,” I tell myself as a 6-year-old leukemia patient pees his pants in fear. I adjust my black mask and sunglasses in the mirror, making sure to hide my identity. “I am not evil,” I whisper.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

You cannot be so much of an institutionalist that you let the institutions bring us fascism. What was the value of the insitutions supposed to be in the first place?

Pack the Court. If we are serious about the defense of these rights, we pack the Court. Simple as that. They pack it back, we pack it again. We do it until we reach consensus on long-term reforms to the judiciary. I don't know what it's going to take for people to get it.

Biden tries to forgive student loans SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. Trump revokes part of the constitution SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

The best part of the Mamdani win is that a bunch of octogenarian Democratic officials might finally be realizing that it's long past time they pass the torch.

Question for Hegseth: if you are attacking the DIA report as being “preliminary” and ‘too soon’ to make conclusive judgements about the true impact of the Iran bombings, then why isn’t it too soon for you and Trump to be claiming you “obliterated” and “totally destroyed” their nuclear capabilities?

Now Trump is off to the NATO summit to regale all those in attendance with stories reflecting his deep historical and military knowledge, why he believes the US is greater than them and why they suck, combined with tales of his brilliant strategery.

A federal officer cannot be “doxxed.” The public has a right to know who is operating in our government, especially if they have the power to imprison someone.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Kristi Noem is headed to Michigan to fearmonger about border security with...Canada. The Trump administration's mass deportation boondoggle is nothing but security theater that actually make us LESS safe. All to the tune of an additional $1 TRILLION in your taxpayer dollars.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
