One reason the GOP is repeatedly terrible at managing the economy is that they believe public sector jobs aren’t real jobs, & they demonize/defund the govt - at both the state & federal levels - every time they hold power. Only difference this time is how wildly illegally they’ve done it via DOGE.

ICE PEPPER SPRAYED A ONE-YEAR-OLD because her mother was filming them.

Nonparticipation in a democracy means you tacitly approve of the outcome no matter who wins. The 90 million who stayed home approved of the militarization of customs officials, the dissolution of the social safety net, the eradication of affordable HC, etc. Non action has consequences = to action.

“…USA is a place that people fear… don’t trust … it’s no longer a destination… it’s a place to be AVOIDED.”

The purpose of the United States Constitution is to limit the power of the Federal Government, not the American People. #Truth

In which the snitches are the heroes and deserve no stitches.

I think about this, also in terms of vaccines, and really struggle with how you have a free society that doesn’t fall into this trap in one way or another. solved problems become invisible and the solutions become the source of conspiracy theories.

Henry Ford HATED Jazz because too many Jewish & Black Folks were a part of it. He pushed the Department of Education to make square dance part of the curriculum to counter Jazz.

These are the most thin-skinned idiots we could have possibly put in charge

the house just authorized a $900 billion expenditure for the military. unlike health care and education nobody ever bothers to ask "BUT hoW wIll you Pay FOR It?"

Yall voted assholes into office putting Dems in an impossible position where they have no power to pick apart legislation giving Republicans the power to put every terrible thing they can think of in. We cannot vote no on everything. Sometimes you have to vote for a bill to keep things running.

Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics” Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics! (The author of this sentence is Dylan Byers; you will not be surprised to learn that he is a white guy.)

It's not surprising that a rapist's presidential administration is removing standards intended to prevent rape. www.npr.org/2025/12/04/n...

Good grief.

Agents in Key Largo, Florida ripped this woman wearing medical scrubs out of her car as she screamed she is a US citizen. Agents cuffed her and put her in one of their cars. She was eventually let go, per David Goodhue of the Miami Herald, who also took this footage:

"The U.S. labor market slowdown intensified in November as private companies cut 32,000 workers, with small businesses hit the hardest [...] The total loss was the biggest drop since March 2023." The power of MAGAnomics! www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/12/...

Alex Horton, one of the two Washington Post reporters who broke the story, has been a participant in more violent combat than Pete Hegseth by an order of magnitude. It's not a coincidence that he got the scoop.

Ordering the things you need to redrum, dismember, and dispose of a human being on DOORDASH might be the most aggressively American thing I’ve ever heard. Shout out to the driver who saw that list and said uh uh 911 😭

unironically i think he wants to impose the conditions of his childhood onto the entire country

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

a young woman who signed up to serve her community and our narcissistic, despotic president decided to use her as a prop for his ego

A roll of aluminum foil is maybe one of the most incredible things you will ever hold in your life. That was a creation for kings and you wrap it around food and throw it in the dumpster. You talk about planes as aluminum cans, as if both are not one of the most incredible creations in history.

Reminds me of this one for the Spring 😂

This is *expressly* not the law

Amazing story, state legislator and Turning Points USA leader who crusaded against bogus voter fraud claims pleads guilty to attempted election fraud. azmirror.com/briefs/turni...

These people are deep into committing election fraud, so they assume everyone else is too "Every accusation is a confession" remains undefeated

ICE in Charlotte. The guy in the headlock is a restaurant worker. Barbarians.

#85yearsagotoday, the Nazis closed off the Warsaw Ghetto. The Ghetto, which was constructed between April and October, housed as many as 400,000 Jewish people when it first opened. The Ghetto was liquidated in 1943 and became the site of a concentration camp. #xyearsagotoday

i know we won't, but we have got to understand that a keystone of the republican project is to both categorize whole classes of people as criminal to justify locking them up, or to make them so broken and desperate that lawbreaking is all but certain to happen.

Sixty-five years ago today, four first-graders desegregated New Orleans's public schools: Ruby Bridges at William Frantz Elementary School, and Leona Tate, Tessie Provost, and Gail Etienne at McDonogh 19 Elementary School. They faced violent mobs and threats to their lives. They were 6 years old. 🗃

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

ICE is at the Waverly Giant, Baltimore friends. Beware.

The cruelty is the point.

Republicans are breaking records of failure.

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Bless them www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

women, are they bitches?

A lotta people miss the days they could walk into a woman's office and fire her for being pregnant, I hate to be that way, but that's in fact the class of shit that they miss

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Relieved that voters resoundingly rejected this fascist bullshit. Angry that we still have at least another year of it, probably another three, and that we're by no means in the clear. Livid that it all could have been avoided if we had simply not reelected the asshole who tried a coup.

The country has spoken. Get ready to drink some soy milk and hire minorities.

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

Yawning at the limited government folks warning that a democratic socialist mayor of New York is an existential threat, but who remain guardedly optimistic about an authoritarian president.

"You're so resilient." ME: Source?

Remember that time Dick Cheney shot a guy in the face and then the guy had to go on TV and apologise for how being shot in the face made Dick Cheny look bad?
