I don’t know why every English Department AND library hasn’t adopted this line from “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” as their motto “Books are brain movies!”

What is Leon Black hiding? Because, if he isn’t hiding anything, why did he walk out of his Transcribed Interview in the Epstein investigation today? We will get answers. Nobody is above the law.

It might be hot outside but the rent is freezing.

vance is basically nixon if nixon were a dipshit and not a genuinely impressive guy

REMINDER: There are now 130 days until the Nov 3 midterm. Saying this is the most important election in our lives is an understatement. This is the most important election in the life of our Republic.

I’m a little sad that Phillips will be remembered for teleporting to breakfast joints and not for contriving a ludicrous conspiracy theory about ballots being collected and cast illegally that became a staple of Trumpworld nonsense. But as long as he is remembered negatively, I guess I’ll survive.

This! I'm so tired and frustrated with Dems treating each other like the enemy because they don't agree on every issue, instead of fighting the bad people who are taking away our rights and taking us backward. Like in any relationship, you'll never agree on everything, so focus on what matters.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani has delivered on his signature campaign promise after New York City's Rent Guidelines Board voted 7-1 to approve the first-ever two-year rent freeze in the board's history for roughly 1 million rent-stabilized apartments across the city.

He got bullied into flipping his vote, which is even worse.

NEW: Mamdani’s rent freeze APPROVED. Tell me again how he’ll “never get anything done.” www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

Jesus Christ. Run your own fucking campaign how you want. But don't go out of your way to give Republicans ammo against Democrats running in other districts. Such stupid assholes.

He's saying this because Mamdani has drastically improved New York City and 3 candidates Mamdani backed won their primaries against Dem incumbents backed by AIPAC. Corporate Politics is scared shitless that they might have to actually help the people who make their existence possible.

An American just got sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for moving “Antifa” zines and there’s about 1000x as much media coverage of Trump’s reflecting pool 👍

Hahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaahahhahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Alito: how is this racist? bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump has now torn down the East Wing of the White House, desecrated passports and park passes by affixing his face to them, and spoiled the Reflecting Pool. All of these acts, he claims, are in service to beautification of the nation’s capital in advance of next week’s 250th.

"He told America that he is great, and that because he is great, America is great, and thanks to him, it is now better than everywhere else. And then a handsome man in a bright military dress uniform sang “YMCA” to him, as the president of the United States danced and smiled." - TN

Well, if you're gonna watch a documentary, you gotta watch "The American Experiment" on @netflix.com Not least to see this guy

Trump's reversals on Iran are so extreme, the outcomes so ludicrous, that if it were a TV show, no sensible screenwriter would attempt to sell any of this as a coherent story. But it's a lot more dangerous than fiction. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Again, there are fewer than 20 people in DC who could end the lawless authoritarianism immediately, & all of them are Republicans, & they still get free passes every day while everyone yells at The Democrats & fights internal Democratic Party factional battles in the face of fascism:

This makes me happy. Obama’s first bucket at the Obama Center. Build libraries. Build community spaces. Build things that will outlast the outrage cycle.

What's it going to take for folks to get a clue and start dealing with this?

This is what a police state does.

"Support Builds on the Right for Prosecuting Women Who Get Abortions. ‘What is the accountability for these women?’” Of course this where the GOP is heading. The GOP is about religious fascism. Oppressing women is a big part of that. Gift link below www.nytimes.com/2026/06/24/u...

This is fascism - it’s what he wants - and it’s not gonna happen

Both these headlines are from Texas this month. Texas sentenced anti-ICE protestors to 100 years in prison, but a serial pedophile to only 30 days. This is MAGA exemplified.

The irony is heavier than he is

DOJ quietly changed a Bureau of Prisons rule to give the Attorney General more power over where federal inmates are housed. Why does Trump’s DOJ keep making things easier for Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice?

Trump blows up Congress once again. This time, saying he won't sign the 21st Century Road to Housing Act. So far, he's used SAVE AMERICA to hold up: -FISA -A third reconciliation -Housing This would have given Trump an easy win on affordability

I don’t know man, who is “the Democratic Party” if it’s not the voters?Democratic voters choose candidates, not party leaders. And party leaders need to listen to what voters are telling us - and right now they are demanding our party be bolder.

The celebration of 250 years of America sees a collapsed East Wing and a gaping hole at the White House, lawns destroyed at the Ellipse and the White House, the reflecting pool disaster, and a MAGA rally designed to divide us. Politics aside, it's just sad.

This is the kind of editorializing from the bench that Jared Polis said moved him to grant clemency to Tina Peters. I believe you’ll find this is a one way street.

So, tolls.

[email protected]l: "Trump is so desperate to get gas prices down that...he doesn’t care who makes money off of it. Which means that even here, it’s the Iranians who have leverage over Trump. Trump needs their oil in the global supply market more than they need cash. Oops."

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

Please keep hammering this. It's an obvious and effective message that plays widely, especially with low-info voters.

Clearest proof we've seen that he thinks refugees claiming political asylum were refugees from an actual insane asylum. The leader of the United States is dumber than dirt but there's an entire cult enabling him and a corporate media too cowardly to call them out.
