Maybe hating on dick bosses is the great unifier, the thing that brings all Americans together.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

yearning for...new catholic schism based on excommunication of american soft-sedevacantist using catholicism as cultural signifier instead of actual belief system

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

"Hochul is dithering about whether to use her powers. AOC, in contrast, exercised her 1st Amendment rights to inform her constituents about their 4th Amendment rights. In doing so, she showed that the administration is tyrannical. She also showed that it’s weak — if you’re willing to confront it."

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

If somebody makes some Reconstruction Dem yard signs I'll 100% put them up. This is how we get the meme going

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

"In other countries, this would be called 'an authoritarian coup.' In America, mealy-mouthed officials call our transition into a mafia state 'deeply troubling' and do little to curb the damage." -- HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

Trillions in new deficits but no mention of reducing taxes on tips in the House budget resolution; it was always just another grift.

The Republic Endures

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

Blumenthal: "What world is he living in? It is not only contrary to the facts and the truth but utterly despicable. A disgusting betrayal of a country that has bled and fought and died for freedom ... the president's surrender is pathetic and weak."

Political liberalism has a lot of flaws but one of the cool things about it is how it's constructed around the insight that monarchy is a fundamental affront to human dignity 👍

Today these people are deported on military planes to Panama, meanwhile any Afrikaner is automatically accepted as a refugee

Stop writing articles and op eds normalizing the invasion of our allies.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

white nationalist men are too emotional to be in charge

Worlds best newspaper nailed it yet again

pundits: “Trump supporters just had valid concerns about the economy” actual Trump supporters: “i don’t care if Trump destroys the economy and kills my business, as long as he keeps the immigrants out. also I am an immigrant”

It's pretty wild how Trump is making us a Russia client state and the most prestigious news outlets only discuss it in code: "Trump revamps US foreign policy with newfound muscularity"

“I’m not going to grovel my country for the privilege of living in it, a privilege I thought I earned in blood.” Combat vet refuses to appeal deportation after Army lost his citizenship papers.

Despite what Yarvin and the lolbertarian right thinks, governance by purity-testing HOAs sounds fucking terrible to most Americans.

This is horseshit. If you fear protests will lead to martial law then you already live under martial law — and you’re the one who declared it. Plus, it *won’t* lead to a declaration of martial law and the fear misconstrues the nature of the threats we face.

we are getting a national version of red state governance, where the people in charge do everything they can to impoverish the state under the view that the more wretched things get, the easier it is for them to stay in power

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

Government for the nepo-babies, by the nepo-babies.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

You can feel it. Every minute that goes by without a new development, a Democrat giving an outraged comment, some new resignation, the DOJ story starts to slip into oblivion... another opportunity lost...

oof at this footnote in the letter that the (resigning) U.S. Attorney of SDNY sent to Pam Bondi. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

BUT WHY? I appreciate the reporting here, but explain more! If you're wondering why career DOJ employees are quitting rather than following orders -- including Danielle Sassoon, who was a Scalia clerk and FedSoc member -- it's because Trump & Musk are telling them to take illegal, corrupt actions.

I think it's both depressing and telling how many Americans (including many members of the elite media) view "masculinity" basically in terms of being an abuser and are excited and thrilled to sign up themselves and others for more abuse.

If there’s enough money for a Tesla bailout, then there’s enough money for cancer research.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Chuck Schumer has failed America and cannot be allowed to continue on as caucus leader.

Hearing that @indivisible.org and @moveon.org are pissing off house dems by mobilizing their constituents to call them too much is frankly the single best endorsement I've ever heard for a political action groups.

Purely anecdotal but I think Dems underestimate the anger on the ground. If I talk to someone long enough it’s rare that politics doesn’t come up. People are scared, upset, and angry.

"Resist the urge to think of your own past as a simpler time. The truth is, you were a child with a child’s understanding of the world... Do not make the choice to regress, no matter how much you wish things could be simple again."

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

my view is that as soon as the administration froze disbursement of congressional appropriations we entered constitutional crisis territory
