In modern history, what is the least popular that party leaders have ever been to their OWN voters? Second place was the GOP in 2009, where their net approval with Republican voters was only +6. Currently Dems are -8, shattering all previous records.

Totally agree and admit I didn't see all this during Obama's term because I was disengaged and comfortable. That rage was then turned on the black women with the audacity to run for President

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear. I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces. karenattiah.substack.com/p/trumps-seg...

This is beyond inhumane, it amounts to crimes against humanity. This is what trans women go through if they’re put in men’s prisons. It’s calls V-Coding and it’s a tough read, but do it anyway so you know what America has become. www.npr.org/2025/02/21/n...

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

We're a movement now! Hundreds attended our President's Day protest against fascism, co-sponsored with MoveOn. The Columbian ran a front page feature, KGW TV's story fed MSNBC's national coverage. Many are now joining us to fight back! #Indivisible #Resist #Revolt www.columbian.com/news/2025/fe...

This guy would’ve found a way to rationalize the layoffs as being necessary and good if he hadn’t been personally let go. This kind of person is incapable of having any empathy or understanding until it affects them.

Per @scaramucci.bsky.social: “He just fired the Joint Chief of Staff. Wants to install a puppet. For those who think that he is contemplating leaving, they don’t understand what happened on January 6.”

I am very politically active and write/call my congressman often. I have lived in his district for almost 2 decades. I have never seen him in person and it’s not for a lack of trying. No town halls. No visiting his district. I’ve never seen hide nor hair of Sam Graves.

Jordan Peterson is another example of what I call a competency cosplayer. Informed people immediately identity him as an intellectual fraud, but uninformed people can fancy him an intellectual who flatters their unexamined prejudices.

Road to the VRA: 60 years ago today, Dr. King tells a gathering in Selma of his plan for a march on the state capitol in Montgomery "to tell Governor Wallace we aren't going to take it any more." This, however, not yet a march on foot. Rather, people will travel by car/bus from around the state.

Starlink, Space X, Tesla and X are both economic and political vehicles created not just to enrich but empower their owner. He is an ignorant, racist, rogue, narcissist who supports America's enemies and an anti-democratic, white supremacist agenda. Supporting those companies in any way at all...

No matter how preposterous, the Times headlines nearly every Trump story as if it were written by the White House comms team.

In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.
