this was also consensus opinion for center-right types after george floyd’s murder five years ago. the state media apparatus will be working overtime the next few weeks to reprogram them

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

taking up several blocks

now more than ever, remember how vital it is to never leave anyone behind, to lock arms, to stand firm. we cannot stop cops from murdering us but we can stand firm and strong in our love for one another. we are building a new world. they cannot take it from us.

An "opposition" that refuses to clearly, insistently communicate what is happening—a party of Nazi pedophiles murdering Americans and traumatizing their children—should disband immediately

It really is so crazy that the Democrats held the presidency for four years and didn't manage to convict Trump of the attempted coup he did. It's such an incredibly embarrassing failure.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

We are either going to organize or perish under the cruellest, dumbest regime the world has ever seen. This year will be key to position the Left to turn things around, as struggles domestically and internationally come to a head. Don't forfeit the moment. act.dsausa.org/donate/membe...

Perhaps now people will stop wishcasting about the US military refusing illegal orders. That's not a thing that happens. The 100% compliance rate with using civilian boats for target practice was a bit of a tell.

It's a big day for those fluent in the good grammar of civility looking to deploy decorum to mask agendas of cruelty

Latin American Coups promoted by the United States

Two things I realized tonight. I donated $18 to Zohran in 2020 for his first campaign for assemblymember. That same year he signed up 13 DSA members in the #DSA100K recruitment drive I designed. This has always been an ambitious, grassroots, collective project. Join DSA today: dsausa.org/join

Every wildest fear at the time of the Department of Homeland Security's creation has been realized or at least stated as a public mission. The organization was born rotten and has only grown worse; dismantling it is the gentlest possible fate and the future of democracy likely requires more.

Thinking about gay stuff

There's no way the homo hockey show/novel wasn't inspired by the very famous Yuri on Ice fanfic that's the length of Jane Eyre.

del Toro's The Shape of Water is a much better Frankenstein movie than his Frankenstein. Christ, what a mess

All the centers they’re cutting add up to less than $7 million in spending. UNC athletics budget is $185.4 million for the 2025-26 fiscal year.

Primary them all and block anybody who comes with the “at this crucial juncture the most important thing is that we win.” if they believed that they wouldn’t do this and with friends like them nobody needs enemies

This technology that people in school administrations and higher education are demanding everyone get behind because it's "the future" and "we just have to accept it," which is, nfn, the language of abuse.

I see videogames bluesky is having a 2014 moment. love that for them.

870 out of 1201 (72%) surveyed Americans support ramping down harmful/unnecessary production/consumption, taxing the rich, universal basic services and guaranteed jobs, democratizing business, and ending exploitation of disadvantaged countries. As long as nobody gave a name to those policies!

You can post "this is the America they took from you" with a picture of a blonde in a bikini and get a thousand likes. theres no lefty take that won't have at least one person and their followers calling you a liberal, a fascist, a revisionist or a fed. It's just not an easy way to grift at scale.

This observation remains undefeated

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that? We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

“Is Donald Trump in the big tent” - the greatest thread in the history of DSA forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate,

So it’s worse than we thought

This is very important. The intrusion of AI slop into higher education is not mainly coming from below, from the students. It's coming from the top.

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.

when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor

YOU GUYS WANNA SEE SOMETHING CURSED???? HOW ABOUT NEON GENESIS LEHIGH VALLEY PHANTOMS HOCKEY?????

Which four? Is this like a Willy Wonka situation

a few questions i'd love to see journalists answer: 1) how did the dem caucus get ahold of these emails? 2) how long have the dems been sitting on these emails? 3) how much do we know about what *hasn't* been released? 4) why did the dems choose *now* to release them?

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Woke 2 will come for all of them

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard. We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions. We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

If they’re going to roll over like this after an electoral blowout less than a week ago, why bother electing Democrats to Congress next year? What would they actually do?

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

The Left: No one should have to decide between food and healthcare. The Right: Everyone should have to decide between food and healthcare. The Center: Some people should have to decide between food and healthcare, but they should not be people we know.
