More Republicans should be depressed.

SCOTUS upholding the firing of the FTC commissioner but not the Federal Reserve board member is such a blatant reveal of how this Supreme Court sides with the interests of capital over consistent jurisprudence and precedent.

Congress could vote on the KIDS Act as soon as tomorrow. The bill would pressure websites to determine users’ ages, and more broadly moderate lawful speech. We’re urging lawmakers to vote NO: act.eff.org/action/tell...

Monopolies and income inequality make political fundraising more efficient, and more favorable to incumbents. We shouldn’t overlook how campaign finance shapes public policy, even beyond the straight-up corruption.

I wish I was any good at photo shop so I could make Dan Koh endorsement graphics featuring things like Kraft Mayo, the game of golf, and Your Shitty Boss.

People forget that before I vote blue no matter who, I get to criticize the shit out of their shitty centrist favorite and do my absolute fucking best to make sure these useless moderates never get access to power.

“[after WWII] There was no spike in unemployment when the war ended, like everybody thought there would be.” Over five million people lost their jobs after the end of the war. Most of them never worked again. But they literally didn’t count, because they were women.

"build more housing where the rich white folks live so they dont buy cheaper housing where the black and brown folks live, which is what gentrification actually is." im not sure why this is a controversial statement. like white folks gentrified brooklyn cuz housing elsewhere was too expensive.

Alternately, an ideological liberal mass membership organization would be a great thing to have. That we don't have one isn't a great sign for the mass appeal of that politics.

This one sneering tweet somehow explains and encapsulates everything about how corporate Democrats managed to lose to Donald Trump twice

These 400 local newspaper are going up against a behemoth with billions of dollars that is conducting massive political corruption. Congress shouldn’t be leaving it up to individual papers to try to save society.

we all make jokes about how woke 1 went too far but woke 1 was extremely, absolutely correct about how much these people were dogwhistling, absolutely correct about the direction they were going in, absolutely correct that how their beliefs were not compatible with a free society

I assimilated all the way to Congress and this idiot still tells me to go back where I came from.

It is not hyperbole to say these people are traitors to America. Patriots know America was founded on open the borders. It’s right there in the Constitution.

It is disappointing that in my district Progressive Mass endorsed one of the supporters of these tax breaks. Who owns NVIDIA stock.

This is an incredibly narrow and strikingly *non-originalist* reading of the meaning of "commerce" but then Justice Thomas isn't an originalist as much as he is an antisocial crank in robes.

This shit is why I hold a grudge.

The media loved the Tea Party because they created it. The media hates Democratic Socialism because we defied them and won anyway.

Also, only 2/3rds of voters work at all. Marx didn’t really consider what happens when more than 50% of a country is bourgeoisie.

It has got to be embarrassing for Dan Koh that he is getting beat by a button-pusher from the richest seat in the district. Imagine being less popular than an avatar of the Massachusetts Democratic establishment 🙃

The same way policy doesn’t matter, achievements don’t matter. What matters is: A. fundamentals B. vibes

Parties of the center-left can't convince people that they're not the parties of social liberalism essentially no matter what they do. If they try to "move to the center," they come across as fake while also bleeding from their base, and the combo just kills them.

Every one of these was funded and backed by Russia. Ukraine is doing the entire world a favor right now.

The funniest thing in DSA is when Marxist-Leninists whine about the existence of celebrity politicians.

i think boarding school teenage masculinity is a part of masculinity but not of manhood. we have to get away from the concept of the opposite of "man" being "woman." the opposite of "man" is "boy"

Flock was sold to track cars. Now they're tracking people, w/ SignalTrace. A new system links phones, smartwatches, and other devices to license plates, giving law enforcement a searchable digital fingerprint. Mass surveillance just got an upgrade. #ProudBlue www.404media.co/this-company...

Oligarchs are robbing America blind, and the IRS is powerless to stop them.

The moral injury of AI can’t really be overstated.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR: Democrats want you to believe that sending FIVE MILLION DOLLARS of YOUR tax money to MEXICO to “manage” the “Dick Exploding Spider” population is “normal” SAME SENATOR SIX MONTHS LATER: (walking like a saddle-sore cowboy) This is the greatest public health crisis of our lives,

One of the few movements that gives me genuine hope. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

No one who has worked in software could ever say this.

As the government raids “antifa groups” in Minneapolis with the SAME charges levied against myself and the rest of the Broadview Six, we need to be asking how they got this indictment. And as charges (hopefully) get dropped, we must remember the process is the punishment.

Seems pretty fair!

The movements we build show what the world will be like when we win. The right wing world would be horrific. Genuine nightmares.

Age discrimination in housing should be illegal. Given the demographics of America, it is always a form of redlining.

You can say the most vile shit imaginable about the places that produce most of the nation’s GDP where most Americans live but the second you so much as breathe disdain for massively subsidized flyover exurbs You Have Done A No Growth, How Dare You.

“Being a dink is more fun by almost any measure and people are opting to be dinks because of this” Isn’t eye catching like “blame phones” or “blame inequality” but it does seem to have more explanatory power.

There is no statute of limitations for war crimes. It is all of our responsibility to make sure these people go to prison.

what are you saying in your group chats that you're worried about a subpoena

President @aoc.bsky.social is going to be immune to laws still, since Democrats aren’t going to accomplish shit between now and then. It’ll be great to stop the starving Cuba, give every immigrant legal status, forgive student loans, etc. But I also think she should build a White House Hot Box 🍃

Unfortunately, care is at risk everywhere because anti-trans activism is a global movement. Alberta bans it outright. Most of Europe is worse than America. AFAIK it’s Germany, Japan and Austria that still follow the science. For now.

the two flanks of leftist politics are communism and anarchism. communists want to relitigate tiananmen square and anarchists truly believe that the world wants a vegan bookstore collective. I will die for either group before I lift a finger to help the volkisch-left DC pundit dipshits

The racism in equating a public health expert who consistently shows up for the Jewish community to a dude with a Nazi tattoo & a history of assault is WILD.

I don’t need politicians to be policy wonks. It would be nice if they didn’t promise to make problems worse, though.

Fascism offers easy answers. Democracy is messy.

Linear models don’t predict the behavior of complex systems. Economics is deeply flawed as a field. It has never been held accountable for its failures. We need to divest from this failed religion.

I am begging people to realize that police do not use this technology is not a "jumping off point" or an "investigative lead"--the computer spits out a name and police arrest that person without follow up. How many people have to spend months in jail "by accident" before we consider the danger?
