I really think everyone needs to pay attention to this coordinated campaign to delegitimize Muslim Americans - not just as citizens but as humans. These increasingly hysterical attacks are a prelude to Republicans bringing us to a very, very dark place after the election.

Evidence "shows that Trump lied about kicking Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club," according to a new report from the House Judiciary Dem staff. The report also reveals for the first time Beatrice Keul's account of allegedly having been raped by Trump. democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Bring back trustbusting. Break up Amazon, Meta, Google, and the Ellisons' media empire.

this is very "oh my god, he admit it" re the gendered dynamics around AI

Hungary Serbia Brazil Please let us be next

Vučić ❌ Bolsonaro ❌ Netanyahu MAGA

Finally, someone who fucking GETS IT. Trans rights are human rights.

10 years ago, Republicans took to their fainting couches en masse when Bill Clinton spoke three words to AG Loretta Lynch at an airport, because it meant he was POTENTIALLY ILLEGALLY TELLING THE DOJ WHAT TO DO! HOW DARE HE WHEN THE DOJ WHICH IS INDEPENDENT OF THE WHITE HOUSE!

Peter Cushing’s Grand Moff Tarkin costume boots were too small for him—so in any shot where you can’t see his feet, he’s doing a fascism while wearing comfy slippers. I like to imagine they were fuzzy fluffy bunny slippers.

Unless judges are going to start throwing people in jail, there's basically no reason to think this regime will listen to them much longer. They themselves have already clearly begun to figure out that they probably don't have to.

This feels like a preview of Schiff betraying every decent American to Trumpism even if Dems take the House and Senate.

THIS is my America.

Yes on 40. No on 41-45. Pass it on, Californians.

my most fervent wish is for every one of stephen miller’s fears to come true hound him everywhere he goes prosecute him any way you can sue him and sue his wife and bleed them dry until the end of their days

When Dems talk about the Ilhan Omar situation, they need to stop using language that implies that Omar might have done anything wrong. Trump is not "investigating" Omar. They are trying to denaturalize and deport a sitting Congressmember by scrutinizing decades old paperwork from when she was a kid

The more combative Dems get, the more of this they will run into. It will be a coordinated wave of elite opinion, scolding them, tamping them down. The fight strategy *only* works if they are willing to bull their way through it, blow it off, mock it. (Their history does not raise one's hopes.)

22 California billionaires have spent a combined $150 million so far to defeat Prop 40. By spending their fortunes trying to stop California from taxing billionaires, they're making the argument for a billionaire wealth tax more clearly and articulately than anyone else possibly could.

I am in Cap Haitien interviewing people deported from the United States. I have been doing this kind of work for almost a decade and it literally does not get more dire than this. People have lost everything they built in the U.S. and are terrified and have no place to go or way to live.

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

Democrats will never learn.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

The anti-abortion and anti-trans playbooks converge once again: First, get courts to bless state bans, then come for other states' protections www.autonomynews.co/three-states...

Got both of mine on Monday! Definitely a better class of 5G gremlins in the vaccines this time around; I'm noticing better bandwidth in the mind-control rays already.

ICE must be defunded and destroyed in its entirety and every person who enabled and worked for it must be stripped of all honor and government employment forever. Their names should be added to registries and people should be notified if they're moving into their neighborhoods. They're dangerous.

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.

Possibly the most progressive policy platform of my lifetime! But it was all for naught—less than naught—because he let the traitors skate.

this has healed my withered husk of a heart

@gilduran.com's new book is the most rapidly vindicated take in the history of takes

Conservatism cannot be understood without hierarchy.

In a world that tells you that you’re an interchangeable cog in vast and indifferent machinery, that your decisions don’t matter—be a Stanislav Petrov. Save the world. Happy Stanislav Petrov Day.

Neila did my profile pic and they’re great!

@duckworth.senate.gov : “get back to work” and “let them save face” after Watergate got us Iran Contra. “Let’s move forward not backwards“ after Iran Contra got us W lying us into war and torture as US policy. No more. We prosecute and jail every last one of these bastards.

Every time I think these evil people have found a rock bottom for wickedness, they innovate and go even lower.

Every one of us must cultivate our inner Grapefruit Lady.

And for this complaint to come from Bret Stephens -- who only has a cushy columnist gig at the New York Times because of their desire to be politically diverse and inclusive -- is fucking hilarious. You're the DEI hire, my man. You.

The refusal to go after Musk is a serious validator of the notion democrats have no real interest in winning. No serious party would let someone like him emerge as a major funder of the opposition and just… not say anything about it.

"My opponent wants to hire creeps to inspect your daughter's genitals if she wants to play soccer. I wouldn't trust him or any hired weirdo from his pedophile-protecting party alone in a room with any kid." Go on the offensive, you cowards! It's not that hard!
