I'm a bigger fan of Democratic politicians than many. I think it's a genuine public service. And they're genuinely traumatized by Jan6. But we must face why our leaders seem stunned and bent on nonsensical notions of compromise. The system demands it. thelastbillionaires.com/why-we-need-...

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

“At least Russia has elections” Russia frequently jails and kills any opposition to Putin, who has been in power since 1999. If you like dictatorships, that’s fine. Just admit that. Don’t insult anyone’s intelligence—including your own—by claiming Russia has real elections.

Am I wrong that Kansas #kubball players have talent but often get outhustled, outreached, outpushed, outrebounded, etc.? Do we have an athleticism problem? Is losing Andrea Hudy finally catching up with us?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Zelenskyy has shown the world what democracy means. Donald Trump is a convicted felon and a sexual pervert. These two men shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same sentence.

If you look at all the firings across the government over the last two weeks it's frequently been taken as a given that any black or woman official or officer is either a DEI hire or supports DEI and is summarily fired on that basis. Seems like the same model here.

“I don’t understand: I thought we were supposed to be SAVING government money. It looks to me like we’re just firing people who provide critical services Elon doesn’t like, apparently so we can spend the money on ‘dear leader’ ads like they run in North Korea & Russia. Is that where we’re headed?”

Totally agree. Sam Graves was my congressman for more than a decade, and I wrote him dozens of times, but never once heard of any opportunities to see/meet him. Once a year, at harvest time, I would see a flurry of posts/messages telling me how much he prefers farming to representing anybody.

YES, YES, YES. Trump and his mafia are destroying democracy AND openly criming, but capitulating now will NOT make the inevitable fight to win back our rights and security easier or safer. In fact, exactly the opposite is true. www.offmessage.net/p/a-problem-...

I still fail to understand why so many influential progressives are so quick to defend/support the NYT when the NYT is so clearly willing to grease the skids for authoritarianism.

I’m confused. Didn’t he announce this a bunch of months ago? Finally, we can begin to permanently remember Senator McConnell for his most important, enduring accomplishment: authoring the end of American democracy.

Lots of people think it's pointless to call out GOPers on capitulation to Trump. Here's why it's not. You need to make this claimed helplessness visible. You need to make it clear Jerry Moran has PLENTY of tools to rein in Musk, but has chosen not to use them. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

This can’t be any clearer: Republican representatives are now fully-employed Russian propagandists. If you voted for a Republican, you voted to eliminate Ukrainian sovereignty and to solidify Putin’s effort to become Europe’s king. The question now is what are you going to do about it.
