Lol lmao

The GOP does nothing but appeal to their base while Democrats talk about their base daily with complete disdain. Probably a total coincidence that one party has been much more successful over the last decade.

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

In the last few weeks I have read 7 or 8 articles about Dems freaking out, holding emergency meetings, and drafting manifestos in response to a few DSA candidates winning. I have read no such articles about them doing the same to oppose Trump in his second term.

Brutal Senegal collapse

This is the sound of this loser rapidly losing his relevance as people realize the “never Trump Republican” is utterly useless

England was the third highest ranked team in odds to win the World Cup coming in and DRC led them until the 75th minute. Absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

I really despise how abstract every anti-immigrant argument. The real world evidence for the harm of immigration is nil so instead everyone has to play in hypotheticals

Mexico City was LIT last night

"Do you support free public college?" "No I support ruining the lives of a handful of children ritualistically for political gain."

This is like the fifth election result in a row that centrist Dems have called “a wake up call” and shockingly they haven’t woken up

Marie ConcentrationCamp Perez backs the SCOTUS ruling with an insane transphobic argument

This is purely cynical from Harris but I don't think it matters. She had no base of support when she ran in 2020 and she hasn't built one since, plus Democratic voters think like pundits and will be super weary to support the 2024 loser. She's DOA as a candidate IMO.

If one wants to argue for the possibility of a more reasonable post-Trump GOP, they have to point to a single person who could conceivably get anywhere close to power in the party that has even somewhat non-extreme views. That person doesn't exist. What's the pathway for deradicalization?

It's so wild that people still refer to the conservative SCOTUS justices as "originalists" when 4 out of 6 of them think we should overturn birthright citizenship, maybe the single clearest textual argument in the entire constitution

Mexico City was LIT last night

It's weird to see people (mainly elected officials) post confidently about the birthright citizenship decision. To me, the result clearly shows this is not an ironclad, permanent decisions and they could 1) revisit it later and 2) uphold all kinds of ways to weaken birthright citizenship

Vamos Mexico 🇲🇽

Gonzales losing is a buzzkill but it’s virtually impossible to take down a sitting senator unless they commit sepukku like Sinema and Fetterman. Miros taking down a 15-term incumbent is yet another massive victory for DSA and the left that would have been impossible even two years ago.

VoteHub projects Melat Kiros to win the Democratic primary for Colorado U.S. House District 1.

Nearly half of the weather balloons in the lower 48 are missing because of DOGE

Vamos Mexico 🇲🇽

Democratic Socialist candidates only work in New York

At a certain point the Supreme Court dissent opinions start reminding me of how much liberals love a revolutionary movement as long as it failed and all the revolutionaries are dead

We are about to have a huge fight in the Senate over Trump installing another extremely far right SCOTUS justice to replace Alito, and both Schumer and Jefferies are releasing official statement praising the court. Unbelievable shit.

Are you fucking serious man...

By the way, this goes all the way back to Marbury v Madison. Judicial supremacy is a stupid, elitist, antidemocratic idea.

I really wish people would tell us WHY we need a strong right in this country. So trans people, Black people, and immigrants can have less rights while corporations and billionaires have more rights? So our water is more polluted? So we have more wars?

SCOTUS must be understood as a GOP-majority political body. People are suggesting things Dems can do given these rulings, but that's not how it works. Within a month, SCOTUS gave two completely contradictory opinions on redistricting to help the GOP. They are not bound by precedent, even their own.

SCOTUS doesn't think women have bodily autonomy, that trans people exist, or that the government should be able to regulate climate change or limit political corruption. Four members apparently can't read the explicit text of the 14th amendment. Why would anyone view this court as legitimate?

Total disaster

People like Ezra, in addition to their class and identity solidarities, built their career and identity on a presumed End of History politics, where all that what was needed was technocratic tinkering. They spent the Obama years holding on to hope, but now the illusion has been completely shattered.

Some really cool court opinions today including "trans people are fake" and "it's illegal to regulate political corurption"

The reason conservatives went with “actually they agree with us they just don’t want to say it” as their theory of change is because it’s largely true.

It's also worth defining what we mean by extreme. When people say "the extremes" they almost always connect to it to being out of touch with most Americans. But if that is the standard, the centrists hold much more extreme positions than Darializa Chevalier (pro Israel, pro corporate, pro war, etc.)

Mitt Romney literally tried to work in the Trump administration

the little groyper kids running the administration are spending hours a day getting grok to generate wink-wink-not-quite-nazi imagery and using it to rile up grandpa. trump likes fascist shit because he has no taste but this is basically the equivalent of tricking meemaw into posting minions porn

Elon Musk is straightforwardly Nazi posting every single day. If you can’t straightforwardly say he is evil at this point you never will.

Today in Democratic resistance we have a 7-0 Dem court rejecting redistricting, a Dem governor sending national guard troops to Trump‘s vanity party, and “project 2029” announcing their first priority is banning teens from social media. Starting to think they aren’t up for the job.

My God, what a loser. Gretchen Whitmer is sending Michigan National Guard troops to DC for Trump's America 250 nonsense.

This is a 7-0 Democratic appointed court

The craziest part of this movie is that the Armie Hammer character kills the entire Muslim family of an immigrant that assaulted a woman. Even by the film's own logic this family did nothing wrong but be related to the assailant, but he massacres them anyway.

If there is one thing we know about healthcare, it’s that it is bad when too many people pay into the system without using it.

Interesting choice of photo here!!

That's right

Elon Musk is openly trying to instigate pogroms and if I were a Democrat I would consider throwing him in jail to be an imperative obligation the next time I’m in power

This is SO funny to do in front of a Minions & Monsters backdrop

I saw two Zohran interviews over the weekend and in both he was asked about Israel's right to exist. Is he just going to be asked that question every day from now until he dies?

Imagining Marie ConcentrationCamp Perez on a party drug is an absolute nightmare

Establishment Democrats lose congress and the White House to an emergent fascist movement: Ahh shucks that's a bummer Establishment Democrats lose a couple seats to the DSA in New York: The world is ending! We need a new centrist manifesto! This cannot stand!
