arresting someone during a tv interview is crazy they're claiming the arrest was for 'obstructing a roadway and failure to obey a lawful command' but it certainly looks like they just saw her talking to a reporter and said Oh that's enough of that

We cannot become numb to the outrage of this. The wife of the President’s Senior Advisor threatens a sovereign nation.

I really hope they ban us from the Olympics, and I love the Olympics. America needs to be woken up by the global community.

You should be embarrassed to be a member of congress and issuing anything other than impeachment resolutions. You're in the model UN. They should give you legos and a propeller hat

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

He legit just pardoned the president of Honduras for drug trafficking but now Maduro is going to stand trial for “narco terrorism.” This all makes a lot of sense and definitely isn’t about oil.

"I’m going to walk y’all through why this is very bad, and I’ll attempt to make it as clear as possible to outline the unnecessary risks and complications Trump is now forcing upon our country and the people of Venezuela and international stability."

Also while I'm up and it's 4am, just gonna acknowledge that the rest of the govt has enabled all of this by refusing to hold DJT accountable for anything, or obey their own ethical directives re: his flagrantly illegal behavior.

the throughline is “I can hurt whoever I want, and no one can stop me.” that’s the central tenet of his governance. there is no choosing between the bad things. the problem is one central bad thing which manifests daily in a thousand ways

2028 Democratic presidential hopefuls better be writing this down. I would love to give my vote to whoever has the most aggressive “wipe every Trump executive order on day 1” platform

It never ceases to blow my mind that so many tech, sci-fi, futurism backers ended up swinging so far right. Did they entirely miss the point of the sci-fi novels? That identity, self, personal exploration is something we can nurture and grow? It's like instead they said, "no we like the dystopia."

It's 2025, and we're sharing bootleg 60 Minutes segments broadcast in other countries because our own country is being run by fascists and their billionaire-owned state media helpers, just as the Founding Fathers intended, of course.

Delightful.

we all said from the very beginning that Trump only wanted this gig so he could slap his name on stuff, pretending to be a president in the exact same way he pretended to be a businessman, and yet I still find myself astonished at the sheer volume of things he finds to slap his name on

So, what Bari Weiss has essentially done here is generate enormous interest in a segment she attempted to censor, only for that segment to be shared worldwide within 24 hours of her suppression attempt because of her incompetence. Amazing work.

That’s what these ‘debates’ are really about: framing old fashioned oppression as some kind of high-brow concern for women’s happiness. You know what makes us happy? Bank accounts. Voting rights. The ability to leave a bad marriage and not have a miscarriage kill us.

“The Supreme Court decided not to have a Christmas party for 12 straight years because the justices couldn’t agree on whether to invite the Court’s Black employees” is about as tidy an encapsulation of the Supreme Court’s whole deal as I can think of

"We here at Bank of America remember a time when a woman couldn't get a credit card without her husband's approval. Wouldn't that be fun again?"

All super rich guys sound the same now. It’s all “I sleep four hours a night and spend the other twenty hours a day developing a product that’s going to bring us the best widespread poverty anyone’s ever seen.”

Conservatives: The constitution is colorblind, discrimination does not justify reverse discrimination Also conservatives: white men deserve reparations for not having 100 percent of the jobs they apply for

“Thapar’s opinion attempts to limit the rights of ‘the people’ to people who he thinks had political rights in the 18th century. This is a dangerous game for anyone outside of the landed gentry of yore to play.”

The science behind gender-affirming care has been endorsed by every major medical organization. This isn't about science or medicine. It's about the discomfort many non-trans people feel over the *existence* of trans people.

This is potentially devastating for so many families and for so many kids, including people I know and love. I'm just sick at heart over it.

“The administration also did not define the term [DEI, but] for reference, to date, the things the administration has decried as DEI include the Calibri font and indoor plumbing in Black neighborhoods.”

it isn't. hope that helps

I keep thinking about how important this is, and who benefits from the narrative that only a guy named Edward can be the hero who intervened to protect Jewish lives, not a guy named Ahmed

“The problem here is that RFK, Jr. is not only deeply unqualified for the position he holds—which we’ve all known since Day One—but objectively terrible at his job. Not subjectively terrible. Objectively.”

i want to be clear about this: worker’s rights also includes the right to be free from racist or sexist or gendered abuse at your job.

it is also just hilarious to insist that eight months of rush job “scholarship” outweighs decades of settled history and 140 years of settled law

The titular wokeness being rolled back is the Civil Rights Act of 1964

I want to take the hand of every Democratic senator and gently tell them: "I know you're trying, but I swear to god, if we take back Congress and don't eliminate the filibuster and spend several more years telling people what we wish we could do, I'll spend every day hoping you step on LEGOs."

Justice Alito lamented yesterday that Citizens United has been “unfairly maligned” If so, it's only bc the Court's other cases haven’t been maligned enough NRSC v. FEC is the Court's latest potential campaign finance disaster, and it can’t be viewed in isolation ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nrsc-...

the only thing that doesn’t appear to be illegal race discrimination to the conservative legal movement is actual racist discrimination

now I also can’t do a pull-up, and I don’t believe doing a pull-up is a universal measure of health, and I certainly don’t believe your job or rights or how you are treated in society should be tied to how many push-ups you can do; but the hypocrisy of this still makes me want to scream

this perfectly captures this entire administration’s “the emperor has no clothes” energy we are all expected to pretend this man is the King of Health, and he himself believes it, which is why he confidently in front of witnesses attempted a thing he cannot do, knowing they will all say that he did

I know being hopeful is a fool's errand sometimes when you are a Democrat, but in my heart I do believe that a lot of progressives all over the country smell blood in the water (in a good way) and feel HUGE momentum behind not just flipping R seats, but knocking out weak Dem establishment dinosaurs

“The question is not whether the 90-year-old precedent in Humphrey’s Executor is going down, but how much of the administrative state’s ability to make decisions based on the public’s best interests rather than President Trump’s interests will go down with it.”

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

This is stomach-turning, and giving Chinese Exclusion Act

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign
