so farmers who are ~95% MAGA chuds vote in Trump, he blows up their business with deportations and the most batshit tariffs in history that everyone else has to pay, then he takes our money and bails out the farmers. now they don't have to work at all

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

“I’m resigning from my position as Democratic leader and retiring from the Senate.”

one of the frontlines to democracy exists in Broadview, IL. if you're white like me and think you would have had the courage to resist Jim Crow, or if you think you would have stood with your favorite historical figure resisting oppression, guess what Chicago, you have an opportunity to show us. 🧵

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

Dudes rock

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

It’s been sad this year watching how the White House press corps refuses to back each other up. Here a female journalist is insulted and denigrated and the next male reporter just moves on to a new question. You’re all in this together, folks. Time & again, they won’t stand up for their colleagues.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This bill is a declaration of war on American families. It's the largest transfer of wealth in history from poor and middle-class Americans to the ultrawealthy, a wishlist made by the most awful people in the world.

100% of Black people self censor at work. Its a job site not your personal safe space, snowflake.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS

The revolution is full of 60-year-old women who love their trans kids.

If we want to retain even a shred of the things that are actually good about the United States, then these guys will have to be tried and held responsible for their actions. They can never again play any role in public life, and we have to attack the conditions that made them possible.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

We are so cooked

Many libs over here are dunking on this, but it's indisputably correct. Since before starting kindergarten in America, I was subjected to a relentless bombardment of quotes from the gospels

Alright IL, who we got to primary Durbin?

"they're gonna make us look bad" go fucking make them look bad. they're fascists. how hard can this be.

I don't think the broader football discourse has fully grasped the all time great season Mo Salah is having it's February and he already has 30 and 21 in all comps, 25-16 in the league, while being his (title-leading) team's primary possession outlet and ball progression option Messi esque

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

Republicans in disarray

I’m still not over the fact that Tim Walz went viral for calling Republicans ‘weird,’ put Trump and Vance on the defensive, then got picked as Harris’s running mate because of it, and then… he was immediately silenced, disappeared, and Dems stopped calling the GOP ‘weird.’

What we have instead of an opposition party is a copy of Robert's Rules of Order that has learned how to do GoFundMes and insider trading

What a day for Nick Bosa

I'm coming to the frightening conclusion that utter ideological disregard for the Constitution and desensitization to corruption are both so widespread in the American political class at this point that a lot of Democrats genuinely do not see what everyone's so freaked out about right now.

Respectfully (and I genuinely mean this), I’ve never heard a single regular person ask for “bipartisanship.” That’s inside nonsense. They want things to work. If the other party refuses to work for people, be the ones who will. Fight for people. Make it plain who isn’t, and who THEY’RE for.
