Yeah, like I'm planting my feet down and staying and fighting because this is my party, there is no alternative. But I can't blame my fellow Jews who feel demoralized and abandoned.

there's a (mistaken) idea that the "most left" candidate is an automatic best for trans rights and no closer look at their record or allies is needed. support for trans rights, real, support, cuts across clear left-mod lines in the Democratic Party, study who's your ally folks.

again re-reading Who Dares Wins and we're at the Falklands War, and god, I hate Tony Benn and the surrender crew and good on Michael Foot "I know a fascist when I see one"

Also tbh it was pretty obvious on election night that Biden had won, but the press intentionally dragged it out for days to milk engagement. Which was deeply irresponsible and caused serious harm.

it’s just taken for granted now that the president is an ~80 year old man who stays up all night inhaling rage-bait propaganda and ranting about it, in ways that affect policy and human lives in enormously negative ways, and describing it as pathetic or a cause for concern is rare

I think it's a damn shame that the first openly out gay Representative is a bigot who wants to pull the ladder up and deny rights to the people behind him, but unfortunately also not really new in history. The first woman Senator (for one day) was also the last Senator to have been a slave-owner.

Are you ready, California? Vote by mail today or in person on June 2nd. Xavier Becerra for Governor.

Kash Patel cannot perform the duties being the FBI Director requires if he is incapacitated, and if he needs his staff to force entry into his home after getting drunk. WATCH: @vanhollen.senate.gov on reports of Patel’s behavior: “A gross dereliction of your duty and a betrayal of public trust.”

God dayum. (It's true and you should say it.)

More of you gotta understand & sear into your brains that the current redistricting push isn’t a thing we should WANT Dems to do. It’s just a necessity to attempt to counter what Republicans are doing. This mindset is part of how we got here. Y’all never wanna address the root problems. (A thread)

Oh so they are occasionally capable of slamming shut pandora's box.

“Why do some politicians get credit for their good policies from media and voters while others don’t?” is an important question. I dunno why half this site has decided the answer is some bullshit they made up.

I don’t understand why so many people on here lie about Biden and other Democrats not advertising and taking credit for their good policies.

Former Rep. Billy Long — a Trump nominee for U.S. ambassador to Iceland and fixture at Republican Jewish Coalition events — reshared a three-minute clip of neo-Nazi influencer Nick Fuentes on X Sunday, with no caption. Marc Rod:

BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP IS HONEST FOR THE FIRST TIME

The son of immigrants — standing in the city that shaped me, surrounded by the people I'm fighting for. This movement is real, it's growing, and we're just getting started.

I know we keep saying it over and over again but Trump is an explicitly unique individual in American history because the media by and large abjectly refuses to cover him the way they would any other human being who has ever lived. Any other human being and this would be a gross outburst.

Gonna be interesting to see how the media manages to ignore when he starts dropping racial slurs on camera.

What the Republicans have done is unconscionable, which is why I will spend the rest of my life attacking the Democrats for not doing crimes in response. I will not specify the crimes I wish them to commit, however.

Another twist to the Politico story on the data center causing low water pressure: There was this great local reporting on the issue that found that the complaint about low water pressure was coming from a private well that the data center didn't even draw from thecitizen.com/2026/05/11/b...

really hate posting this one

Walz literally kept saying weird up until the election, quit spreading disinformation.

We gotta stop relying on nonprofits

so should we bust out the cabbage for Keir Starmer?

"What if this costs Dems the house???? (It won't BUT WHAT IF)" made me roll my eyes so hard

Some blog has an idea that doesn't work, becomes "why are Dems so feckless"

Pretty annoyed at this style of reporting, which primarily exists to make people mad on social media

Bluesky really not beating the "site by bedwetters, for bedwetters" allegations, yes the midterms are still going to be a GOP wipeout, how are you all getting this panicked over a 40 seat landslide maybe shrinking to 35 because John Roberts committed institutional suicide to make it so

Let’s see.. —supports subsidizing the fossil fuel industry —opposes an assault rifle ban What core value will progressives throw under the bus next?

We have got to crack down on antisemitism in the party or this is going to keep happening.

The Becerra Era is here. Vote by mail today or in person on June 2nd.

Well it may be bad for the environment but at least it’s also bad for state capacity and has no meaningful benefits for ordinary people

There is a pan-ideological movement within the Democratic Party to say that taxes are a bad thing to punish bad people and everyone virtuous should be exempted and I do not think this is going to result in the progressive policy outcomes the proposers say!!

I think it's bad that the DNC rallied behind a Republican to be the Democratic Senate nominee in Maine.

Trump gathered all of the very worst people in the country in one place and got them to break a million laws and then pardoned all of them, and now local law enforcement has to go get them one by one as they commit new crimes.

I often say that the fight for democracy is the fight of our generation. But let me be clear, if you aren’t fighting for Black voting rights right now then you aren’t really fighting for democracy.

Steven Spielberg made SCHINDLER'S LIST and founded the Shoah Foundation when he did because he realized that the generation of Holocaust survivors were starting to die off, and knew it would be harder to convince people of the atrocity once they were gone.

And her books are still in good standing today in spite of being shamelessly bigoted trash.

It’s because they *like* Greene’s antisemitism, they just don’t have the courage to openly say it (for now.) See also: Graham Plater as the Great White Hope.

Nine times out of ten, "they didn't teach us this in school" is shorthand for "I didn't do the assigned reading".

For real, though, people invoke authenticity to obscure the absence of integrity

There’s no such thing as authenticity, hope that helps

cool that people can’t even make percipient threads about the rise of antisemitism without ending it with “of course, obviously, it’s the Jews’ fault” Increasingly coming around to “whether or not someone victim blames is the best one-bit indicator of worth you can find“

pursuant to various of discourses it actually is, in fact, a failure of solidarity to fail to stand up for Black and Jewish citizens when they're both currently actively under attack in our democracy, and there is *never* an appropriate time to cutesyfoot with Jewish Space Lasers Lady. be serious

Cheney actively offered to endorse Democrats without asking for any policy concessions because she thought Trump was odious and had to stop. Dirtbags want Democrats to concede on policy and shift to the right in order to charm MTG.

The rapid diminishment in Trump's ambitions from "Fourth Reich" to "ballroom" to "coat of blue paint" is staggering. And he's failing at even that last one! It is staggering the degree to which he is failing to achieve... anything. The entire legacy of his term will be one of pure destruction.

*shows this to annoying ass doomers in my country*

"Every billionaire is a policy failure, billionaires are roasting our planet alive. Who are we endorsing? Oh, a billionaire who made hundreds of millions off coal and oil."
