Schumer’s gotta go, man. Put the New York machine guys in timeout for a decade or two while we save the country from the trash they can’t figure out how to dispose of

the dems who dont understand that now is the time to go all-out, balls to the wall attacking this guy and his party have no business being in politics

The thing you need to understand about Gavin Newsom is that

I don't believe the Democratic Party is prepared for the level of base anger folding on this CR will bring.

I have been plenty critical of Jeffries recently but this is great! I hope constituents spend the next 24 hours making two calls: 1) Call your Dem rep and thank them for unifying against this blank check for Musk and Trump. 2) Call your Dem senators and ask them to do what the House Dems did.

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution

This, @fetterman.senate.gov, is one of the many reasons I'm asking as your constituent to vote against the dirty CR. (Another reason is the tariff validation hidden in it.) It's not a clean CR; it does more than move dates. Voting "yes" is endorsing the lawlessness and chaos of the Trump admin.

I feel like discussions about why evangelical Christian culture clashes with secular culture would go a lot further if people were willing to talk openly about male supremacy

This is who they want to portray as an agent of Hamas.

Kinda jealous of people who live in countries that aren’t one big car dealership for a car that explodes

“i disagree with everything Khalil was saying, and how he was saying it. im glad the nypd bashed all those kids’ heads in last year and he should maybe be expelled. but the important thing is…wait what was i saying?” we’re truly watching the rhetorical masters at work with these kinds of statements

Now THIS is a statement.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

"What if, rather than blaming Palestinians, Arab Americans, and American Muslims, these pundits had seen their treatment—under Biden and for decades before him—as central to the Trump-led repression looming before us?" Noura Erakat on the imperial boomerang www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

NEW: I wrote for @wagingnv.bsky.social about how pro-Palestine activists are organizing against repression at universities from NYC to Michigan to California. wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/pro-...

this is what denying genocide does to you. you irreversibly degrade your political compass, you become incapable of standing for anything clearly.

This should have been signed by every Democrat and every elected official who opposes the kidnapping and illegal imprisonment of political dissidents

If anyone ever has imposter syndrome as a communications professional, just look at this fascist collaborating goobledygook and know that you're better at your job than whoever works in the House Majority Leader's office because WTAF is this mealy-mouthed, victim-blaming, chatGPT-level garbage.

Mahmoud Khalil’s family is raising funds for his legal defense and to support his wife who is 8 months pregnant. Please consider giving whatever you can - every contribution will go a long way in helping bring Mahmoud home. Please donate and share:

bullying 👏 works 👏

The United States government just disappeared a lawful US resident because it didn't like his speech. You should care about this because it shouldn't happen to anyone, but you should also care because it could happen to you. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/n...

Harry & Marv love each other so much, it’s ridiculous.

May the enemies of women's liberation everywhere be crushed, in my world and yours. 💚

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Creating a big tent is fine, great even. But that tent has to have a pole, a backbone, a set of values it believes in and policies it supports, otherwise it simply caves in and is no kind of shelter, gathering place or party at all.

Every Democrat should call House leadership and tell them what you think of their feckless, loser behavior. At the very least, telling them to grow a spine or quit their jobs made me feel slightly better: Hakeem Jeffries: (202) 225-5936 Katherine Clark: (202) 225-2836 Pete Aguilar: (202) 225-3201

Interracial marriage did not cross 50% approval in the US until 1996, when I was 30 years old. Good political messaging drives opinion, it doesn't follow it.

“Go more politely to the camps” maybe isn’t as “responsible” as the Vichy Dems think.

I’m sorry you’re having one of those days. I know the feeling. Take a moment and think of a person you’d give anything to protect. That person, those people, are your point. Today, take care of yourself for them. Love yourself so you can love them. One day, and then another day, and then—

Whomever is advising the Democrats right now is criminally bad at their job. The notion that they can meme their way out of fascism is truly incredible.

The only reason to bring up Reagan in a comparison to Trump is to note that Reagan was an icon for the right for decades "but even *he* wouldn't do ________." If, however, you pretend that Reagan was some kind of uncontroversial moderate, you're severely undercutting the point.

The actual "winning" strategy is to be a party on the side of EVERYONE and to stress that you are PARTICULARLY standing 10 toes down for the most vulnerable people.

If you're a Democrat praising Reagan....look, I don't know how else to say this but you're actually a Republican then.

The only reason people should ever bring up Reagan is to note his greatest accomplishment: being dead

A lot of Irish Americans — too many of whom are MAGA —need to draw on their immigration history of being starved out of their home country by a hateful, imperial occupier enforcing deliberately cruel laws. It is a sin to view people as ‘other’ when your ancestors suffered that fate.
