Really hate when anyone talks about freezing or eliminating taxes for anyone (taxes are good!) especially property taxes, but in this case I will allow a little slopulism as a treat. We cannot afford Stevens in the Senate, and, fwiw, there’s no way this happens even if he believes it.

Nobody has seen Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell in public in a while. Is that because the 84-year-old former majority leader is dead?

Still kind of surreal to not just see articles like this published in the times but also for said articles to quote my friends. Anyways this was a really fun read for me. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/07/n...

New Interview: www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a...

phone bank with us🙂 it’s easy to get started🙂 and it’s fun🙂 now is the perfect time🙂

Probably gonna cave and get a PS5 Pro. Is it worth being a cheapskate and getting one refurbished/open box or should I just bite the bullet and buy one new?

Honestly would have liked to have him (DSA endorsed logger and union man) as the candidate from day one. Better late than never though!

Remembering that the reason I had switched back to X was really only because Local DC Discourse has not migrated here yet (funnily enough) and am having a much better time posting and scrolling here (despite the much lower engagement). So really that suspension was great for me.

Okay! Locking in for the debate tonight. Who is excited to watch Stevens crash and burn?

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

Abolish DHS. Prosecute them all for the murders and deaths they are complicit in or guilty of. Let's RICO this shit.

Should also redo the "Great American State Fair" as initially planned, obviously for the cultural value lost this time around, but also to completely show up these dopes and blow their grift out of the water

Afroman secured a win for free speech this year when he won a defamation case against police officers who sued him over a song that mocked their raid on his home. The Constitution protects our right to poke fun at public officials, even if they aren't laughing with us.

Admittedly not a big manifesto reader (even skimmed through some of the preamble here) but the content of the proposal is honestly the most clear eyed vision for what must truly be done to win a multiracial democracy in the U.S. I have seen, maybe ever. It's time to be bold.

Everything runs through Abdul El-Sayed and Fran Hong. I am feeling good about AES, and am an unapologetic DSA partisan, so will be throwing down for Hong over the next month, but every U.S. leftist needs to be putting in the work to get them across the finish line. Hong and AES 2026 = AOC 2028.

mestiza senator from Paraguay being extremely racist toward Mbappe reminds me how funny it was when pundits would be like "American politics isn't about race anymore--just look at all the Latinos voting for Trump"

Very excited to be seeing Maddie's Secret on Saturday with a Q&A moderated by Sarah Sherman.

lol

we need a breathless headline that American Jews like Mamdani far more than Netanyahu or Trump. Do Netanyahu and Trump have an anti-Semitism problem?

Been bad about posting on here lately but, update on this: We got it and it has been every bit as good as I had hoped and more. They don't tell you this but you should do it, you should move into your dream apartment even if it's a little more than you want to pay for.

it immediately made me think about Cesar Chavez's long history of sexual abuse, & Dolores Huerta's statement that she kept her experience secret for 60 years bc she believed the truth would hurt the movement she spent her life fighting for www.nytimes.com/2026/03/18/u... medium.com/@dolores_hue...

Mea culpa: I was wrong to support Graham Platner, and should not have overlooked the bright red flags that he had from the get go (Blackwater mercenary), but especially after the tattoo surfaced and the initial allegations. He must drop out (ideally yesterday) and refund his donors.

A woman who worked for nearly two years for Rep. Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for California governor, said she had sexual encounters with him while he was her boss and alleged he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent.

Happy Appomattox Day to all that celebrate

“I definitely think the UAE plays a very crucial role.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social discussed the role of the US and UAE on the genocide in Sudan with former U.S. ambassador and Sudan adviser Susan Page. Watch their full discussion: zeteo.com/p/can-the-ge...

READ: Wisconsin resident Salah Sarsour was detained by ICE on March 30. The Trump administration is accusing him of lying on his Green Card application. But those close to him say he's a 'political prisoner' being targeted for his criticism of Israel. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/supp...

Just submitted our application for our dream apartment. please god

11,200+ people funded this campaign — no corporate cash, no AIPAC, no real estate, no AI or crypto. I'm humbled and energized by all of you. Together we'll prevail on June 23rd and build the movement to take on the oligarchs and deliver the dignity working people deserve.

Say it with me! EXPROPRIATE and LIQUIDATE!!!! www.thenation.com/article/poli...

I need people to understand how massive it is that we are going to put a DSA member in the White House.

Reuters: U.S. JUDGE ISSUES ORDER HALTING TRUMP'S WHITE HOUSE BALLROOM PROJECT FOR NOW - COURT FILING

they're calling it the most immediately disastrous war of all time

Israel is about to execute thousands of detainees for the crime of being Palestinian. The nazification of Israel is complete with the U.S. as its accomplice in genocide.

Stephen Miller allegedly urged Department of Homeland Security agents to “force confrontations” with protesters in Minneapolis in order to win a “PR battle." trib.al/NcbpdiX

🫡 🇵🇸

Trump’s Board of Peace is a money laundering scam. Billionaires are stealing $1.25B in taxpayer dollars to develop Gaza into their personal Riviera! The Board of Peace isn’t about peacekeeping or aid; it’s about profit.

this is an explicitly genocidal statement

The new axis of evil: U.S. and Israel.

Since the headline is a bit confusing, the NYT is reporting that on the same day we hit the girl's school in Minab, we also sent a missile full of tungsten steel pellets at a girl's volleyball tournament hundreds of miles away in Lamerd. Twenty one dead. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

👀 NEW data - X cooks people brains as it's one of the main socmed platforms where people (barely) support Trump's unnecessary & illegal war. Given how unpopular the Iran war is & how overwhelming majority opposes troops on the ground - it shows X isn't real life. @navigatorsurvey.bsky.social

Aside from anything else, FWIW, on the 'US-Israeli war on Iran—and beyond', I recommend listening to the latest episode of @thedigradio.bsky.social 'Economic Warfare' w/ Aslı Bâli, Esfandyar Batmanghelidj & Nicholas Mulder thedigradio.com/podcast/econ...

Maybe I'm a moron but this works so much better than all of the Khamenei bitching an moaning from the center of the party. He's 100% correct here. "Pedophile President starts war of choice because he doesn't like headlines" is the line that every Democrat should be using.

More people should be locking in their monthly donations now. We have a real shot at electing a Democratic Socialist Governor of a key 2028 swing state. (I also chipped her a couple hundred bucks)
