This was a terrorist act.

Bro…come on

Finished The Rehearsal S2 and I’m…legit inspired? What the fuck

On June 6, 1944, 81 years ago, the US and allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Hitler’s tyrannic rule. These brave soldiers gave their lives to defend democracy. We must honor them by continuing the fight against authoritarianism and fascism in all its forms.

Norman Lear founded the liberal think tank People for the American Way

We’re at RashidaTlaib’s town hall tonight, where she’s breaking down what Trump’s budget would do to her district: – 157K at risk of losing SNAP – 36K facing 50% higher ACA premiums – 258K on Medicaid/CHIP threatened—100K are kids Every member should be doing this.It’s staggering cruelty laid bare.

1. Democrat leadership refuses to accurately call it "MAGA Murder Budget" claiming this is too hyperbolic and won't stick 2. Republicans call it "the Big Beautiful Bill" and it is now instantly known as "the Big Beautiful Bill" even to opponents seems like there is a lesson here

Post a random photo otherwise everything goes wrong in June

I miss the Daily Candy and jezebel internet

Girl, are your legs tired? Because with all that running over your entire caucus to join the GOP and bend a knee to fossil fuel billionaires I’LL BET YOU’RE PRETTY TIRED

My statement on the horrific killings outside the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C. last night.

Michigan will be voting to end this gross flood of dark and disgusting money into our elections in 2026. Ready to take on these cowardly, corrupt oligarchs? Join us at michiganforthemany.org

I'm excited and honored to run on the DSA For All slate for at-large delegates to the 2025 National Convention! Rank me #1 and the rest of the comrades listed below and let's build the party workers need! 🪴🦧⤵️

The millennials moved there and shut the door behind them

I’m about to lose my second dog in as many months and I simply don’t know how to move through it.

Ken Martin thought he was in a safe space at the MI dem party lunch, so he used his speech to throw unprompted slander at “young socialists”. I let him know he flew to my home to an event I was invited to only to insult me to my face. Odd choice for a party leader trying to turn things around

At least Walmart executives are having a good laugh. If you think Walmart is going to eat the costs of tariffs, then you don’t understand Walmart’s greed and how it exploits its customers and workers to make its billions.

I think the online Chicago candidate lady is running a silly and unserious campaign for normal reasons

He really is the the Joan Rivers of Hitlers

This is Sean O’Brien I’m afraid

I’m going to be tapping this sign until the end of time. Can we please just move on from this tired faux debate?! washingtonsocialist.mdcdsa.org/ws-articles/...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

I AM ON A BUILDING ✨

After an intense term in Metro Detroit DSA’s leadership, Groundwork member Aaron B. was too burned out to stay active. But reforms expanding members ability to vote brought him back in—and can bring in many more. www.groundworkdsa.com/building-up/...

feel like looking at the last election that killed a party is instructive if the equivalent of 1852 happened to the dems: -kamala wouldve received only 77 electoral votes -had their house caucuse reduced to 130 -only have 29 senate seats you also wouldn't see them sweeping special elections

We’re so fucking cooked it’s honestly a little funny

What is happening to otherwise smart and sophisticated people that this is a headline. The people who fall for this shit (my brother) and say ms Rachel sucks for this are by all accounts bright and successful….it is truly embarrassing but mostly terrifying tbh

The disastrous Republican reconciliation bill would cut Medicaid & the Affordable Care Act by $715 billion – throwing 13.7 million Americans off of Medicaid & the health insurance they currently have – in order to give a $1.2 trillion tax break to the top 1%. It must be defeated.
