It’s truly astounding to see leftists who champion diversity and an end to genocide and corruption characterized as “hateful” and bigoted while the most openly hateful and bigoted politicians in decades are running the country

Yesterday she said it was important. Today he had a hissy fit and refused to sign the bipartisan bill. Dude is such a loser.

"After the last month, Democratic leadership should be seriously taking stock of their position," writes Ben Davis. "The energy is on their left. The people are on their left."

Ah. The people desperate yesterday to not let "far left radicals" replace incumbents have moved from anger, through grief, to there was actually no difference between the losers they backed and the winners they insisted were totally unhinged destroyers. Got it.

Under appreciated about NY winners is that they ran better campaigns. They talked to voters & got voters to talk to each other about them. Magnetism 101: if you want people to come to your cause, be attractive. Pollingists can't comprehend or recreate this: donors are their audience.

Also, they equate “allegiance” with “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” in the 14th Amendment. If aliens illegally in the US are NOT subject to federal jurisdiction, I guess they would have something like diplomatic immunity and shouldn’t be subject to arrest or held accountable under US law.

There is a pernicious and sustained effort to distort the historical record and do violence to the public’s memory.

I wonder what the bankruptcy lawyer who helped Nazis take over the US presidency thinks about Jewish betrayal

The student protesters were proven entirely correct and it’s time liberals acknowledge that fact and apologize for mocking and belittling them this whole time.

The terms are - and stop me if you've heard this before because I might have learned it somewhere - "if you don't like it you can vote for Republicans."

Remember when those grade school kids begged Dianne Feinstein to do something about climate change and she said condescendingly "we know what we're doing" and then fell over and died

lol Dems: 'if you want change, you do it in the system, you do it in the party, win people's votes, be an adult' Also Dems: 'wait, no, not like that. It's wrong to do that.'

This is a nice start. But, its going to take a lot more to fix the Democratic Party.

States that won’t obey Trump order will have their mail ballots halted, postmaster says minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/24/r...

BREAKING: @aoc.bsky.social just introduced the AI Data Center Moratorium Act in the House. The bill would ban the construction of data centers until Congress addresses the economic, environmental, and safety impacts of AI.

*hands on hips* The problem is people need to vote harder <later> *hands on hips* I can't believe these people voted

“When you win you have to apologize and do whatever your opponent wants” is longstanding Dem policy.

establishment demands an apology from the people winning elections as an express rejection of the establishment

Who wants to tell Hakeem Jeffries that Mamdani would beat him by 30 points if they ran against each other lol

Bold talk from the party spamming my texts and emails begging for donations, volunteer hours and petition signatures. They want progressive’s energy and resources while knee capping our candidates.

Right. Thanks for reminding everyone that the Democratic Party establishment no longer subscribes to the idea that its voting constituents (a.k.a. the people) are those it's supposed to serve. Centrist, pro-corporate Dems lost because voters had a better vision of what the party should be.

I've been hearing "vote blue no matter who" for ~10 years. I was sympathetic when it was a last-ditch effort to keep Trump 1 from happening. But it clearly hasn't been working as a call to action, and this kinda response every time leftists get a win shows none of y'all actually believe it either.

Lol. So you tell us every election year that there are only two options: blue or red. Voting third party is a vote for red; staying home if a vote for red. But we’re also not allowed to refashion the party into something that actually reflects our values—genuine representation we want. Mmkay.

Two months ago:

"If you believe that every situation requires more fascist appeasement, then it makes sense to identify you not as a misguided foe of fascism, but as a fascist with, perhaps, some minor reservations," writes @nberlat.bsky.social. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/keir-starm...

Rupert Murdoch trying his best to scare us, but all the worst pictures of Mamdani and pals still look like those theater kids putting on a show to save the old high school.

“moderate” is positional. so, sure, we need moderates, after we elect enough leftists that Mamdani is a moderate by comparison.

A monumental shift on Palestinian rights is underway - and it is transforming Democratic Party politics. It is time for party leadership to wake up and listen to their voters.

Because it’s non-ideological so pathologically “both sides” brained reporters can finally go at him without their shock collars going off

The shitty reflecting pool and the signage at the Kennedy center being the outrage and not death squads occupying cities and sending people to concentration camps or insane murderous war is because our media likes those things and is servile to/has class solidarity with the ruling class thanks

“Silence does not protect us.” As the Trump administration broadens its targets to include dissent, gender justice, anti-capitalism and opposition to immigration enforcement, movements cannot afford to play small.

Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are preparing for the transition to autocracy. Part of that plan includes billions in ICE funding.

they made it illegal to not be a nazi

Wow. Prairieland defendants being handed sentences between 40 and 100 years. For background on this case: www.ms.now/news/antifa-...

I remember the manufactured outrage when Obama put a basketball court on White House grounds. GOP acted like the republic itself was under attack. Obama left the White House beautiful. Apparently the lawn only mattered when a Black president was standing on it.

You can laugh at this but it’s fifty years of reactionary politics at a glance. Yes, they got everything they demanded; yes, they’re angrier than ever and yes, they want more cruelty, vandalism and idiocy. As I told you in the 2010s: they will always be like this, they can’t be pleased or appeased.

September 2024. I know pretending stuff like this doesn’t matter and isn’t salient in any way is a load-bearing pillar of mainstream political punditry in the UK, but I would really like people to grapple with the possibility that Starmer was a nasty, vindictive prick and everyone could see it.

Remember, whenever you hear that a corporate law firm is "prestigious," you should interpret it the same way as "Trump is a successful businessman" and "Musk is a genius." It just means they're shameless and unscrupulous, like Sullivan & Cromwell. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

You rarely see a perfect headline in the wild like this

Today was an absolute blood bath at SCOTUS for the less powerful to enforce civil rights in the federal courts. TL;dr - SCOTUS rules 6-3 that only corporations have rights that are enforceable in federal court??

The ease with which democrats cast off their own members who don’t fall in line but openly embrace any MAGA fuck who senses a change in the tide speaks to their lack of seriousness as a party

Aren't these the same people who were worried that Mamdani was going to implement Sharia law in New York City?

Unsealed court docs spotlight U.S. District Magistrate Judge John Docherty scolding federal prosecutors in Minnesota for failing to meet even the most basic legal probable cause requirements while filing for search warrants of activists and press in the Cities Church case.

Magdi Jacobs is retweeting people who are claiming that Mamdani is part of a conspiracy to bring Sharia Law to the U.S.

All the props in the world to this guy, but THIS IS NOT A FEEL-GOOD STORY IT IS A DAMNING INDICTMENT OF OUR SOCIETY AND HOW WE TREAT OUR MOST VULNERABLE

every time you see a headline that begins with “we have to,” replace the “we” with “you” and you’ll immediately understand the purpose of the piece and the power dynamics at play
