Imagine cheering on people in power who are actively targeting and harming the hungry, the poor, the sick, the elderly, the veteran, the disabled, the different, and the stranger and still somehow expecting people to believe you follow Jesus.

I don’t understand why the president is allowed to spout nonsense about colonizing another country and the 25th amendment isn’t being invoked in addition to all the other horrors this is insane. It’s absolutely insane. It isn’t funny or even weird.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

There's a lot of frankly tedious debate about whether We're In Fascism Right Now. Whatever your view, I hope we can all agree that "government shock troops disappearing dissidents into their gulag network" is a pretty basic example of fascism. www.discourseblog.com/p/this-is-wh...

If the Democrats can't bring themselves to say "government spending is good, actually" in this precise moment, then they really are cooked and all need to be replaced.

Now that the influential bigot who did a Hitler salute publicly claimed that organic protests against his malfeasance are secretly controlled by a list of foreign Jews, some of whom aren’t even alive today, are we allowed to call him a Nazi, or is there something even Nazier we have to wait for?

Many Democratic politicians have forgotten that leaders can shape public opinion, rather than just always follow it. Republicans learned this lesson over a decade ago. Elected officials should not be a moving polling average. They should be humans with values and willing to stand up for them.

We need some better language for pushing back against what the administration is doing. They’re not “ending DEI.” No. They're firing women and people of color in the military. They’re forbidding whole fields of research. They’re erasing trans people from existence.

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

I think my biggest problem with the "debate" over whether Democrats should abandon trans people is how divorced from reality it is. Republicans are banning gender-affirming care because they think kids are being rushed into surgeries. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING.

Here’s the thing about “negotiating” with Trump: He has spent six weeks proving that deals, agreements, contracts, promises and treaties mean NOTHING to him. There’s no reason to trust him about literally anything. His word / America’s word is dirt.

i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

We got a message from the university to remove any use of the "DEI", "diversity", "equity", or "inclusion" from all public-facing documents. They said that even "biodiversity" is being flagged by the federal government. We live in the dumbest timeline.
