I'm just so sad and angry. "It happened even as Cerina Fairfax supported the entire family on her salary as a part-time dentist, allowing her husband to assume the role of political leader."

How a Libertarian keeps the public supporting their AI projects until the public's support isn't needed anymore.

My 8-year-old twin boys can explain consent and bodily autonomy. So can their boy cousins, ages 10 and 12, and their boy bffs, 8 and 12. So it isn't hard to learn. Men just don't want to do it.

His political career is thriving because people like you keep giving him passes and more chances no matter how many rakes he steps on.

If an establishment-coded Dem was discovered to have a Nazi tattoo or written blame-the-rape-victim posts, you wouldn't be bending over backwards to defend them. Don't bother to feign otherwise.

Anonymous could do one of history's biggest acts of public service right now.

Howard Lutnick's firm, Cantor Fitzgerald, bought up the rights to refunds from importers, essentially betting against his boss's signature economic policy. Lutnick -- and his adult sons who run CF -- will make a fortune. The cynical cash grab continues.

Criticism of FDR’s compromises on race is met dismissively by diehards with “it was the best he could do at the time”. A grace that is not shown toward modern Dems when they don’t have the numbers. Instead, purity progressives punish them (and us) by not voting and stalling progress. Or, worse.

🚨Documents show John Roberts proudly casting himself as a leader of the opposition to “activist” judges. Now, newly revealed secret memos show he led the charge to wield unprecedented judicial activist power — to make sure corporations would never be forced to reduce pollution.

The original argument was that some people who showed up on J6 didn’t really know what they were doing, so shouldn’t be punished harshly. But these guys - a jury found that they absolutely knew what they wanted to do, which was overthrow the Constitution. Yet he pardons them.

There have been six mass shootings in the past 48 hours /

I know historians aren’t supposed to predict the future, but sometimes the patterns are really clear.

I don't think most Americans fully understand that this mass bombing was all in the name of white supremacy.

NEW: Justice Dept demands Wayne County, Michigan turn over all ballots, ballot receipts & envelopes from 2024 election "This request is as absurd as it is baseless,” said Michigan Atty General Dana Nessel State says letter cites allegations that are “incorrect and not credible"

In 1926, @democrats.org weren’t moral, unified vessels of justice. The party was fractured & included the segregationist white South, wouldn’t become the party of civil rights til 1965. White Southern voters identified the DemParty w/segregation, discrimination, & the disenfranchisement of Blacks.

This is bullshit. Dems have passed really great policies since then. Biden had the biggest climate policy package passed ever. Dems are trying to get more done all the time.

Arguing that if only we’d chosen someone better (however that’s defined) than Clinton or Harris or Mills people wouldn’t have chosen to vote for the worst person alive or a nobody with a Nazi tattoo grants too much and absolves ppl of their terrible choices

Someone needs to ask Senator Warren what her position is on burning, pissing on, or “canoeing” (you’ll regret looking it up but since Platner bragged about doing it, everyone in Maine really should) corpses in Mideast countries.

here's Jeffries saying it. honestly if you've never heard Jeffries say "working class" in those words I'm not sure I believe you've ever heard Jeffries talk.

decided to finally block a guy earlier and i thought this was useful context as he declares various Democratic Party leaders Enemies of the Glorious Revolution because supposedly they don't say "working class"

When he was a Republican, he was mostly motivated by hating Dems. Now that he's on the other side of things, he's still mostly motivated by hating Dems. When he does his next thing, he'll also be mostly motivated by hating Dems.

Fetterman was raised GOP, was supported by lefties in the primary attacking the "establishment Dem" Conor Lamb. Platner raised GOP. Watch this space. I am never surprised when someone raised hating Dems (like David Hogg too) keep hating them.

Sánchez: “Shame on those who remain silent in the face of injustice. Shame on those who exploit workers, who criminalise those who are different, who turn rights into commodities, who defend elite privilege, who support war and violence in Gaza, the West Bank, Ukraine, Lebanon, and the Middle East.”

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

This is entirely a historically accurate and rational response.

The only things holding us back from meaningful Congressional majorities: -propagandists convincing you that Israel is the cause of your personal problems -propagandists convincing you that Dems don't "message" well -propagandists convincing you that VP Harris was a bad candidate

oh man. iranian state media reporting that the strait of hormuz is open, but only to those who can answer the blind old man’s riddles three. not a long term solution, to say the least.

Wonder how many times she tried to get help from law enforcement. DV is not taken seriously. We call, and nothing happens. Women are on their own. This is what happens. When will we value women's lives?

Ah, @beetlemoses.bsky.social does it again.

for those who missed it, here's the reason behind Melania's batshit crazy "press conference." Surprise: Melania is a liar. apple.news/AsZ7RsmlqTB6...

For supposed Revolutionaries, including at least one "WWII buff," they seem awfully upset that Democrats aren't more surprised that we caught on to their War On Two Fronts.

Leaked memos show John Roberts circumvented procedure to rule against Obama’s Clean Power Plan Also—very smart of lib justices to leak in order to undermine the Court itself. Like what Gingrich did to Congress, but against the bad branch this time. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

If the so-called free speech purists and “diversity of thought” crusaders cared about anything but promoting conservative nonsense, this reporting, which shows the most powerful university in the world suppressing research on their ties to slavery, would be a massive scandal.

‘Soe infinite is the profitt of sugar!’ As with so many old, wealthy institutions, Harvard’s early wealth was built on the backs of enslaved peoples in pursuit of the riches generated by the early “drug” trade (sugar, rum, tobacco, coffee, spices, etc).

When you post defensively at Black people, when we are speaking on the topic of racism...you show everyone the ingrained need you have to protect your learned conditioning. Not every conversation needs your "not all" "not me" input. Stop being hate's shields.

Elections have consequences.

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Elon Musk basically accused Trump of being a pedophile and then got dinner with him again a few months later. Joe Rogan acted shocked and dismayed about ICE and Iran and now he’s standing behind Trump in the Oval Office. These guys only care about holding onto power through any means necessary

Where were they when this was predicted to happen in 2024? It was inevitable. It was obvious even.

There's a *lot* going on here, but I'm struck by the irony of Roberts taking umbrage at EPA officials' public statements. Just 2 years later, in upholding Trump's Muslim travel ban in Trump v Hawaii, Roberts wrote that Trump's bigoted public statements weren't relevant to the rule's validity.

Alito worrying about the “institutional legitimacy” if the court is funny. Everyone, even your fans, knows there’s no difference between you and like, steve doocy.

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

👇🎯 Yes but it needs to go further: - No shadow docket - No clerks - No building - Riding the circuit We can debate necessary structural reforms like more seats & such. But first, immediately, the next Congress needs to strip these Wizards In Robes of every perk & power not explicitly in Art. III.

The Roberts #SCOTUS is nothing more than a closed Super Senate without any accountability. Sure the justices should be impeached but in order to have a functioning judicial branch - next Congress must enact structural reforms stripping them off all powers not listed in Article III.

Oh. Who could have predicted? 🙄 'Worse than the pandemic': Red state restaurants now suffering from Trump's ICE crackdown

As a grad student and early-career researcher, I got a lot of grief for studying what I did. "Rebecca isn't serious," they said. "She studies restaurants." And here they are, the barometer of public health, safety, and democratic norms.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Awwww how nice that he found shelter after briefly feeling “politically homeless”. 🙄
