I don’t think it’s too much to say Whitmer is already cooked for 2028 and maybe forever

A friend adopted this Palestinian family in Gaza, and I’m at a loss for words. They had to move because of heavy shelling. Their last donation was six days ago: www.gofundme.com/f/help-islam...

Please give to Tasneem if you can. She can't maintain an account here without it being suspended or erroneously marked as spam. She is a real person, a mother, who is struggling to survive in Gaza. Please donate and share her campaign.

senate democrats' unanimous (yes that includes your faves) endorsement of marco rubio gets more appalling and morally bankrupt by the hour. just an all-timer

The @democrats.senate.gov account is entirely reposts of Chuck Schumer's account, which in turn is mostly screenshots of Chuck Schumer's tweets. I don't have any real commentary here, this is just funny to me

Essentially the end of the first amendment and it’s in service of Zionism — a collaborative effort from both parties and their biggest representatives to frame criticism of Israel and their massacre as terrorism.

Lots of experts saying “this was the expected outcome,” so imagine how badly the average deportation hearing, where the person being deported doesn’t even have a lawyer, goes.

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

It was obvious at the outset what the Laiken Riley Act would do so this feels very disingenuous to me. Democrats voted for this garbage bill not because they believed in it because they feared political smear campaigns.

Genuinely don’t understand how so many politicians seem absolutely unwilling to wave a banner and tell the millions of Americans desperate for leadership that they have been heard and that their concerns will be met. Instead we get this milquetoast slop.

Jesse Singal, a transphobic bigot who has dedicated a large portion of his career to spreading misinformation about LGBTQ+ people, is baffled that John Oliver would do a single episode debunking his life's work

this is depressing. @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social, how did you go from championing policies to curb sexual misconduct and give recourse to survivors to just shrugging about Andrew Cuomo of all people?

What does it cost to make history? Sleepless nights. Endless miles. Countless conversations, threats - and sometimes, everything you've got. Love, Joy, & Power: Tools for Liberation is a powerful documentary that captures the highs and lows of organizing in 2020.

Imagine being a new Democratic US Senator, and going to Fox News to tout your first bill—which is xenophobic and helps Musk. @slotkin.senate.gov what the fuck.

Let's not forget that @michigandems.bsky.social US Senators @slotkin.senate.gov and @peters.senate.gov voted to confirm a man to be the ambassador to Canada after Hoekstra supported calls to INVADE CANADA. The Great Lakes State needs BETTER Democratic leadership.

Pete Hoekstra made an ad in his 2012 Senate run that was so racist it basically tanked his candidacy

NEW: Gannett will stop publishing company diversity/demographic data, citing Trump's January executive order to eliminate DEI initiatives. If other news companies taking similar actions, you can find the info to securely send me a tip at the bottom of this story. www.niemanlab.org/2025/04/gann...
