Our Democracy Is Divided You cannot be half democracy and half autocracy. You cannot have a free press and state propaganda. You cannot split the difference and call it a country. action.lincolnproject.us/house_divide...

From now on, I want to see this man covered as "self-declared racist Tom Emmer ...."

A person talking like this is disgusting. The multiple people clapping and cheering along give me an indescribable sense of sorrow.

Americans fired over their Charlie Kirk comments are fighting back, being reinstated in their jobs, and winning big settlements. They’re also modelling courage by fighting for their first amendment rights—and winning. Thanks to NPR for reporting!

Free speech absolutism is such a dream, isn't it? 🥴😓😫

"Why should Pennsylvania, founded by the English, become a Colony of Aliens, who will shortly be so numerous as to Germanize us instead of our Anglifying them, and will never adopt our Language or Customs, any more than they can acquire our Complexion." - Ben Franklin on Emmers' German ancestors

I can't wait to see how the numbers compare to this:

The Democratic establishment crash-out is a wonderous thing to see. A bunch of people, their organization named after democracy, unable to handle the results of just a few popular elections, appealing to the unspoken rules of a club they thought belonged exclusively to them. Let's do it everywhere.

We don't need to compromise on other people's humanity¹ to get shit done. Or our own humanity². That's how humanity³ survived for hundreds of thousands of years. We can still do it ¹their value as humans ²our own capacity of empathy ³humans as a whole

We should NOT allocate an appreciable amount of the dwindling Colorado River flow to be turned into nothing when we can't even meet our treaty obligations to give native tribes their fair share.

Some random dude questioned why I have "data centers" listed in the middle of questions of fascism, justice, and equity, and anyway, long story short, it's because they're an issue of fascism, justice, and equity.

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

We are tired of doing all the work and then being told that our vote is a lock, we have no choice, and so you have to go run around chasing MAGA votes. We aren't the ones that hate Democratic volunteers. YOU DO.

At caucus, they asked us, the party faithful, if we should add "abolish ICE" language to the Colorado Democratic Party platform. It passed with 98% approval. 98 fucking percent. That's why we're mad. Because y'all don't match our energy.

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

i've been talking to spiders a lot lately. i run into them a lot when gardening and do my best to be polite/cautious around them while also knowing a lot of what i do must be really scary for them and it's likely i am disturbing their lives pretty heftily. #makeaterriblecomicday

HUD has proposed disgusting new rules that will further housing discrimination issues for LGBTQ. Like, just wait until you read them. My heart fucking sank. Use this link to write HUD and tell them fuck NO. www.uusc.org/action/pride...

@edzitron.com leaked OpenAI's financials and they're catastrophic: $20 billion lost on $13b revenue in 2025. They spent three times more to lose twice as much. No economies of scale, falling behind Anthropic, and their model guarantees future losses. Watch the full video: youtu.be/beGjScitbkk

This article just reinforces the notion that Democracy can only survive with a necessary baseline of public education. One that the US is currently, by political design, failing. Calling collective ignorance “culture” or other infantilization is not doing the rubes any favors

I uncovered a bombshell that hasn’t been reported anywhere else. It’s a new rule DOJ quietly adopted which gives the Attorney General tremendous new power to punish political enemies and reward friends and donors. Please watch and share. youtube.com/shorts/rcee4...

Y'all. Michelle Obama insisted on the Presidential Center having a sledding hill for neighborhood kids. 🥹 When I heard that my heart swelled. 😭🥰😭

BREAKING: Donald Trump is now saying he won’t sign the bill to limit private equity and corporate home ownership, lower housing costs, and build more housing until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. Just minutes ago he was planning to sign the housing bill today.

🤣🤣🤣

I was on the train and met someone who was like “but you must admit musk has a talent for getting people to follow him—isn’t that a rare skill?” And I said “well one, could he have done that if he didn’t start with the funds to pay them and two, so did Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini.”

Tuesday is Colorado’s most interesting and consequential primary night in a decade plus. Dems pick the likely next Gov DSA vs 29 yr incumbent in CO-1 Dem primary for CO-8 swing district The Victor Marx Show Tops 2018, when Polis emerged and Weiser edged out Salazar for AG nod

Lousy art choices. The "hateful Mamdanites" all look joyful. Do better, NY Post.

1️⃣1️⃣ And off to Maryland: Tiffany Welch over Frank Conaway. (See thread.)

STATE HOUSE / STATE ASSEMBLY 7️⃣ Back to New York: David Orkin over Jenifer Rajkumar.

First, a note: this means many different things. In many of these cases, an establishment incumbent lost to a DSA-backed challenger. But in some, it's a mainstream liberal beating a centrist who'd angered Dem leaders. Still, these challengers also endorsed by groups like WFP or Our Revolution.

If you can dehumanize and justify subjecting any person to these conditions, you need to check yourself. The powerful will never suffer this treatment. Only the most vulnerable.

Voters understood the assignment. "A win must be toward enacting an agenda. The majority of voters want affordable healthcare, strong unions, taxes on billionaires, freedom for all to vote, no more ICE agents abducting their neighbors..." substack.com/home/post/p-...
