They pit us against each other so that they can rob us blind while we fight over the literal scraps.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Sounds oddly familiar...government agency convinces someone to come to their office for something "official" and then send in the goons. Trump took Saudi Arabia playbook of Khashoggi

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

Oh. "This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

Just so we’re clear, everybody calling Kilmar Abrego Garcia a “terrorist” or a “gang member” are lying, and they know they’re lying, and they repeat it for purposes of confusing people who don’t follow this stuff closely into accepting what was done to him.

Imagine calling yourself the master race and have to resort to erasing the achievements of minorities to make yourself feel better.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Take the pledge: i will NEVER again support any Dem Senator who won't VOTE NO, on Cloture & the CR! It's time to take a stand. I'm sick and tired and not going to take it anymore. I will RESIST. Principles matter --------- Please share and repeat. We need to take a stand. The time has come!

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?

Critical messaging for Dems if they're being forced into a shutdown. Undo the cuts to Social Security, VA health care, cancer care research. Put the DOGE boys into a boxes w chaperones if the Republican want help. NEED TO BE CRYSTAL CLEAR about what's at stake immediately in peoples lives.

Let’s be clear about what this isn’t. This is not an attempt to protect Jewish Americans from antisemitism. That is a complicated problem that requires education and a long-term commitment. joycevance.substack.com/p/first-they...

Smells like good trouble.

This is why we need to learn our history. Instead of dismantling the Department of ED, maybe we should improve it. What a bunch of dumb Fs.

Per @acnewsitics.bsky.social: “MAGA removed the gay airplane. Next up, they will stop all trans-Atlantic flights.”

All the pundits spending time on Dems’ message on trans sports could maybe use a little of their power and platform to talk about how vile this is.

I'd rather we fund cancer research than Elon's exploding rockets. I'd rather we fund critical services for our veterans than Elon's swasticars for our embassies. I'd rather we stop oligarchs from using our treasury as their personal piggy bank.

Stop listening to dinosaurs. Stop paying the consultants that got us here. Stop asking for money instead of telling us what you’re going to do to fight back. The DC bubble has never been more glaring to me than ever. People out here are absolutely pissed and scared. Figure that out fast!

We should worry about migrant rape gangs, says the man who just pressured Romania to free the Tate brothers so they could return to the U.S.

I'm old enough to remember when trump tried to say people in the Biden Administration were incompetent, but none of them accidentally fired the Ebola team. Or the nuclear weapons folks. Just sayin'.

Any media outlet hanging on to a shred of journalistic timber should televise these hearings.

I guess Trump put so many rapists in his administration that he now has to import new ones.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

🥲

Elon Musk has ZERO receipts for his claims of “fraud” in government agencies. But there seem to be a LOT of receipts showing that those same government agencies were investigating or regulating Musk and his companies.

Notable that Elons crew of incels and edgelords are full fledged men for the purposes of being given the keys to car to run the govt. But for the purposes of being accountable for their actions they’re just kids from good families with youthful indiscretions.

Hey Dems, Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out. So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good. XOXO Timmer

Senate needs to respond to mass firings of Jan 6 attack prosecutors by rejecting Trump nominees. Have a spine and stand up to this autocratic effort to rewrite history and embolden political violence. Block Bondi and Patel.

Time to Rise Up! 💙Tracy Chapman www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RpJ...

what Musk is doing is as close to the government being taken over by a hostile foreign power in our lifetimes, the coverage should reflect that

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

Kamala Harris did an amazing job braking through the white patriarchy as a Black woman. She is a hero and is to be celebrated. Defeating the pompous white supremacist is no easy task — especially in an ignorant, sexist, racist society. She is an American Hero.
