It’s easy to take democracy for granted. It’s easy to assume that the Constitution is in stone. It’s not. This is a moment when your courage and your activism are most needed.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group. There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi. He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism. #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Did you know that your city almost definitely has a deal with the phone app "Libby" where you can enter your city library number and get access to an enormous number of ebooks? This is great because if there's a day you don't want to be on social media, it gives you somewhere to sink your attention.

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms.  But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately. Remember this.

FUCK THAT

you can't "message" your way out of a knife fight

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

A reminder that the @nytimes.com told New Yorkers to not rank Mamdani at all, & instead endorsed former hedge fund manager Whitney Tilson. Tilson sits at a whopping .8%. Corporate media trust is dead. They killed themselves by failing to fulfill their promise of holding the powerful accountable.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

We're gonna need an active communist party if only to restore context to our political discourse, I can't listen to republicans calling chuck schumer radical left anymore

If you rank Zohran 1st you’re voting to make every New York Times Opinion writer insane for several years.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

“A deranged maniac impersonated a police officer and killed lawmakers but if you’re an immigrant be sure you immediately comply with plain clothes people who won’t identify themselves telling you to get in a van”, what a fuckin country

Strange little dudes.

STUDY: “When a state made cuts to Medicaid, depriving people of access to health insurance, the crime rate increased… cuts to Medicaid hurt public safety.” Don’t tell us you care about crime then slash Medicaid by $1 Trillion, underfund education, etc. boltsmag.org/medicaid-cov...

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

Very sad to hear Rep. Connolly has passed. Also, Dems might be wise to consider empowering younger people and not clinging to power until the very end?

None of the 278 men sent to CECOT have been returned. Meanwhile their lawyer has been arrested and "disappeared" in El Salvador.
