This is what's known as "consciousness of guilt"

For years now, moderates have decried the division of identity politics of Democrats, ignoring of course that the Republican Party was defined by identity politics itself — the identity of whiteness. Now that it’s explicit the inability to call it out and to cover it aptly is starkly disappointing.

My brother, who is a HS English teacher and a softball coach, keeps aluminum bats in his classroom just in case. Years ago, I would thank my lucky stars I didn’t live in Sarajevo, but, well, here we are. We don’t have to live like this.

It’s time for folks at DoD and in the IC to start lawyering up. If you’re an officer or official who was forced into pushing through potentially illegal orders, get a lawyer. If you’re a soldier, seaman or airman who was forced to execute them, get a lawyer.

“I think” is how a system run by a king or a dictator works. Here, we have a rule of law that says no one, and that includes the government, can murder people on a whim because it “thinks” they’re up to no good.

X has changed their policy and now you can see where the accounts are based. Here’s an “influencer from Texas”

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television. I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

The correct answer to MAGA outrage over the Dem video is this: Are you effing kidding me? Of course it's reasonable to warn that Trump might be giving illegal orders. The evidence is strong that he actually is giving illegal orders! I went through that evidence here: newrepublic.com/article/2035...

Just for fun. This is my dog, Walter. He’s about 50 pounds and the height of a small retriever. After I adopted him from the Calaveras Humane Society in Northern California, I ran a DNA test on him. He is a mix of three breeds. Wanna guess which ones?

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

I have been an advocate for “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” for decades, chastising people who opted out instead of choosing the better of two options, even when both options suck. No more.

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Not that he didn’t already know, but now Trump knows for sure he can roll the Dems every time and there’s no need to negotiate for anything

My rage is *incandescent*.

I have been a Democrat for 50 years. While not wealthy, I have steadily donated over that time. The Democratics made people suffer for *nothing*. Changing my party registration to independent first thing tomorrow morning. I will never give them so much as a dime again. Fuck them to hell.

“Experts” here last week saying Schumer was making strategic moves, what bullshit. If a cave, people suffered for NOTHING. I have left messages, but I expect nothing from the spineless corporate worms. I have been a D since 1976. Not rich, but I’ve donated steadily. If they cave, I’m out.

They could call it "The Pedolands"

1. If Jesus were alive today, we can surmise from his actions in the Gospels that porn stars & OnlyFans models would be among those he'd surround himself with. 2. This would only be a scandal if he were the kind of Christian who used "family values" as a fig leaf for bigotry. He's the opposite.

This Oregon-Iowa game is fantastic!

Thinking only of Rosalind Franklin today, and what was stolen from her (and so many other female scientists alongside her).

Personally I think it’d be newsworthy if the President were a deranged psychopath. I’m not a big newspaper editor but if I saw evidence of this every day as we do now I might put someone on that story.

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far? TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

People we're saying that he should just build an Oval Office in Mar A Lago and laughed at me when I said that the reality was he was gonna wreck the White House and turn it into Mar A Lago if they ever let him back in there

::: sigh :::

Someone ought to let Sanchez know ICE has a signing balance. Dude’ll fit right in there after Fox drops him.

What a great idea.

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it. Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.

Your war correspondent on the ground in battle-ravaged inner northeast Portland

This is an infuriating and shameful scandal. The Roberts Court is condoning Trump’s law breaking, again, pure and simple. There is no serious path forward for democratic government without Supreme Court reform.

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.

We don’t call everyone who disagrees with us a Nazi, JD, just the ones doing Nazi shit like: -masked secret police kidnapping people off the street -creating concentration camps -attempting to eradicate trans people -banning/burning LGBTQ/opposing viewpoint books -murdering fishermen in open waters

This new "think tank" is why I answer every GimmeeMoney text from establishment Ds with "FUCK OFF AND DIE."

The amazing thing about Trump is that he says right into the camera on the White House lawn while stone cold sober the sort of stuff Nixon would only scream in solitude at the White House fireplace after a bottle and a half of whiskey.

So, so true.

State Department to ban immigrants speaking ill of Charlie Kirk. VP to fly his body to Arizona on Air Force 2. Trump to award him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Journalists getting fired for asking the right questions. We are spiraling into a dystopia beyond our imagining.

"He reviled, belittled, and demeaned large numbers of my fellow Americans, but he was quite cordial to me" sets my teeth on edge.

The shooting of Charlie Kirk was the 46th school shooting of the year. The 47th one happened moments afterwards. www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/u...

Jeffrey Epstein had doctors prescribe birth control and sedatives to his victims. They also screened his victims for STDs. He had dentists work on their teeth. I’d like to know who these people are and why they have been protected.

It's hard to take any Democrat that talks about "accountability" seriously after an insurrection, classified document theft and supreme court justices taking bribes went unpunished the last time they had power.

I am a very progressive person. The responses to this post pretty much make her point for her. Stop with the purity culture. We have fascism to fight. 🙄

Grateful for this silliness.

You can hardly expect swing voters to believe this is a crisis (which it is) when the mayor of an occupied city takes her vacation just like normal. FFS.

“How many murdered Palestinian journalists will it take for the mainstream press’s cowardly fever to break?” asks ⁦‪Prem Thakker,‬⁩ in the wake of Israel’s killing of ⁦‪Anas al Sharif. ‬⁩

the thing to take from Cuomo—a politician who was supposedly invulnerable and had control of every aspect of Albany—having a flailing campaign is that all of these assholes are really paper tigers who only thrive when their opponents are also cowards.

Had a client who actually had been a rodeo queen. Big hair, lots of makeup. Had to get help from a stylist to tone it all down for a national market, to enhance her beauty instead of overwhelming it. The puppy-killer went in a different direction, LOL.

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

at the risk of repeating myself, it must be understood that the concentration camps exist to serve as pornography for the base

@oliviajulianna.bsky.social thank you for having Isaiah Martin on your podcast! What a breath of fresh air. Sent him a small donation. Hope he wins!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.
