Mamdani: "I've already had to start get used to the fact that the president will talk about how I look, how I sound, where I'm from, ultimately bc he wants to distract from what I'm fighting for. I'm fighting for the the very working people he ran a campaign to empower that he has since betrayed."

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Never bet against the Republicans' willingness to sell out after spending weeks feigning concern. It's all an act. They're all self-serving cowards who will put party over country every single time.

Yeah I vehemently disagree with the SCOTUS decision But we can deal with it incl. thru filing class actions & already filed the first one! And taking away birthright citizenship still unconstitutional--SCOTUS didn't change that I explain @contrariannews.org open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

There are only three political positions in America today 1) I like the fascism 2) I'll acquiesce to the fascism (reasons for this one vary: cowardice, access, denial, misguidedly thinking that acquiescence is savvy, etc) 3) I oppose the fascism The rest is details

We’ve talked about “Alligator Alcatraz” before. Here are more details. Starting the first week of July, when South Florida’s heat index regularly hits 100°F, they plan to detain up to 5,000 people in tents. No A/C. No real shelter. Just suffocating heat, choking humidity, and swarms of mosquitoes.

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are also out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!

If it was not clear before, it is undeniable now: the President, Congress, and Supreme Court no longer support and defend the Constitution.

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

I think that the outcome in the NY Mayoral race and the Wisconsin Supreme Court race both show that people power CAN beat the political money machine. That should give us all hope, and the motivation to work for the government we want.

A pregnant woman lost her baby after ICE refused to give her prenatal care. She begged for help and was denied. She was fed food full of cockroaches. She was forced to sleep on the floor. This is absolutely disgusting and we should all be outraged. nashvillebanner.com/2025/05/27/i...

The one silver lining of the Roberts Court is that it will destroy the credibility of the Supreme Court to such an extent that liberals can no longer believe that it will be our salvation.

Marco Rubio needs to be asked whether he believes his grandfather who remained in the U.S. after receiving a deportation order from our govt should have been treated the way the father of 3 Marines was treated by ICE this weekend in California. ASK HIM. Make him confront his lack of character.
