So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Unbelievable!!! share.newsbreak.com/cifykh0o

Girl, I get it: “Is it possible to love an institution the way you love a person, fiercely and without reservation?” Read @ruthmarcus.bsky.social on why she left the @washingtonpost.com www.newyorker.com/news/essay/w...

The whole political moment - both for much of the public and for many or most of the senators - is defined by the fact that most people don't grasp what's actually being done inside the government, the faits accompli being made. Senators shld know. But I don't get the sense they fully do.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

Many of the liberals and leftists who claim to support them now would have absolutely lost their ever loving minds that the Black Panthers were pro-China & anti-America and would have 100% supported police violence against them

Does Putin Own Trump? This is an important article, what does Putin have on Trump? open.substack.com/pub/thomhart...

If Pentagon contracts were a federal agency, they would be the most funded federal agency. It's past time to cut the Pentagon's topline significantly, not just reallocate massive amounts of money within the agency and its contractors.

People often ask what Democrats are doing to resist Donald Trump in this moment. One shining example is California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who is taking on Trump in the courts...and winning. The Big Picture spoke with him about his efforts to resist Trump.

NEW: $88 billion/year could erase ALL medical debt for 40 million Americans. Instead, Trump wants to spend it on his nightmarish, family-splitting mass deportation plans. IPS scholar Alliyah Lusuegro of @nationalpriorities.bsky.social:

Cringing.

A recent tragic aviation collision has left many mourning the loss of a loved one. The FAA - responsible for the safety of civilian air travel - is underfunded. And still, our government wants to spend a lot on mass deportation to separate families. It's time to reprioritize.

But hear me out: "Seven Days in May," except the generals plotting to wrest power from the President are the HEROES....

I know they're outnumbered and possibly in disarray and, you know, it's the weekend, but it would be nice to hear some fightin' words from our reps on the left. Now is the time for all good people to come to the aid of their country.

Obviously a psychologically devastating time for most people living in America who possess even a shred of decency, but there’s a particular experience rn among those on the left who long opposed American empire, knew from history its fall would be brutally ugly, and rooted for it anyway

If I hear a single liberal ask “is she ready” re AOC I’m sending them straight to hell

Leftists who refused to support Gore, HRC and Harris: “WHY IS THIS HAPPENING! DO SOMETHING!”

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.
