My roommate saw me put more cheese onto a frozen pizza & it was like I unlocked something in him. I saw the wheels turning as he realized we don't have to settle for the default amount of cheese the pizza overlords offer us. What goes onto the frozen pizza is in our control. We have the power.

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to assault senior citizens. We can defund this 100%.

I know this is controversial but I don't think we need to pay anybody to brutalize us. We could probably cut 100% of the budget for that.

Do you want lower rates of "crime"? Do you want increased childhood development and well-being? Do you want lower rates of homelessness? Do you want to reduce overdose deaths? Do you want these things cheaper than ever? Then give people housing, food, schooling, medicine, and support, for free.

In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event. Join tomorrow’s protest!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's a complete coincidence that they got out of the US embassy in Iraq a few days before Israel attacked Iran, right?

Undocumented immigrants contribute nearly $100 billion in taxes every year. Meanwhile, the wealthiest 1% dodge $163 billion in taxes annually. The real drain on America isn’t coming from the border — it’s coming from the boardroom.

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

At the end of the day we are dealing with evil fucking people, or, if such unflinching moral judgments make you uncomfortable, call them regular people who find evil so endlessly compelling that they reliably choose to support the most evil they possibly can every chance they get.

If the Democrats don't shut down the Senate. I don't want to hear anything. If any of you whine in my mentions saying 'they can't do that' you will be blocked. Schumer has been in the Senate for 90 million years he knows what to do.

Trump’s actions and his inactions would be the precise conduct of someone whose goal was to destroy our country. We need to face what that means.

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Hypothesis: Part of what Musk brought to the table for Trump is "lessons learned from the end of Apartheid, and how to avoid the same result in the US." I look forward to both of their obituaries.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."
