This is a great example of how moving to the center only moves the Overton window right: now the left is supposed to abandon partisan issues like “democracy”

Dems need to outflank him by talking about the 4th Reich TODAY

considering his parents divorced when he was three and his father (who lived truly an bizarre, dare I say, Pynchonian life) cut him, his mom, and his sister off financially, I kinda believe this

this is why I get frustrated by people who say we always need to stand with unions all workers deserve good pay and benefits. but the reality is that some unions are being led by reactionary cranks with awful politics and we should stop pretending otherwise

If he were right, the import price index (which measures pre-tariff prices) would have fallen by enough to offset the sharp tariff hike. It didn't.

I'm so sick of this imbecilic argument. There is a simple explanation for why American leftists/anti-Zionists pay exceptional attention to Israel's domination of the Palestinians: because Israel gets more support from the U.S. than any other country in the world.

They were WAY overpriced because it was new technology.

you think it's "gay" to be associated with anything left of center ... *opens manilla envelope* ... and yet, on jan 21, 2025 ... *slides 8x10 photo across table* ... you wore the tutti frutti

NEW: The State of Arizona sues the House of Representatives, demanding that Speaker Mike Johnson seat Adelita Grijalva or that someone else be allowed to swear her in. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

EXCLUSIVE: Embattled Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia told Republicans that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell” and that he has “a Nazi streak,” according to a group chat viewed by POLITICO.

Perhaps the gravity of the office may yet change the man.

Not surprising but Jesus fucking Christ

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

Dems can keep paying consultants for talking points, keep holding press conferences, and keep pretending like we live in a redeemable timeline—but we live with a co-opted executive branch led by xenophobic idiots who do not believe in law & are empowered by a slavish SCOTUS. trib.al/MvPBOtv

nothing lasts forever and I wouldn't mind actually following the VA official account when it isn't being run by some dentist's failson.

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

I think it is about time that Democrats started familiarizing themselves with Lincoln’s response to Dred Scott instead of accepting the tacit premise that whatever a bare majority of the Supreme Court decides, dictates our constitutional fate

So for-profit AI companies have trained on the world's largest collaborative volunteer project and a precious free resource, to make money for their for-profit enterprises. They have crushed traffic to the volunteer project, starving it of donors and volunteers www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

Trial shows that ICE agents lied, concealed evidence in an illegal effort to convict the "libtard" who filmed them.

Usually regimes as cruel and nakedly corrupt as our current one survive only because they're a client state of the US

important note from libcrusher:

There's an ever-expanding list of things you can no longer discuss around MAGA folks because it's now "political" and triggering, e.g.: - "I got my flu shot." - "The guy who cut my hair was from [another country]." - World War II

This is such vile shit. If they're doing this shit to famous white people, you know they're doing 1000x worse to Palestinians. (Which Thunberg herself points out, as well.)

"Wow so it's illegal to have sex now?"

One of the biggest problems with the liberal approach to politics is that they actually think everyone, at their core, has the same values.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

Be cool goes for all sides here - we don't have to give a shit where they came from, but that also means that they don't get to come in here and say "There's gotta be some changes to keep me here". We were doing just fine without you, we could completely take or leave your posts.

the admin that imprisoned and tried to deport a student over a pro-Palestinian op-ed, calling it anti-semitism, calls outrage over "I love Hitler" texts by young Republicans "pearl-clutching"

It's destroying my brain that other than Gwen Snyder and Jude Doyle, every single person who went nuts and attacked Chapo for being 'crypto fascists' in 2016 is now doing republican apologia nonstop lol

10 years ago, Amanda Marcotte was calling Bernie supporters a bunch of racist, sexist, spoiled rich kids and now she's trying to launder the history of the Young Republicans. el oh fucking el.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense. www.newsweek.com/jb-pritzker-...

No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that. Need at least one that wants rule of law. Maybe two.

peter thiel watching spongebob:

I feel like we’re going through a crisis of credulity as a culture. You can see it with this, you can see it with woo, and you can see it with AI. Nobody’s willing to stand up and say “this is stupid, what are you talking about?”, so people keep spinning out of control.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Bondi: "We've been living through a horrific cycle of political violence in this country ... night after night antifa wrecks havoc on the streets of our cities. In Minnesota, a gunman murdered a state lawmaker and her husband."

There was never going to be a moment when everyone—everyone in government, everyone in media, everyone in the population—was roused to action at the same time. We're turning a battleship. And Pritzker understands that.

Very Gen X coded

ICE is a rabid animal and must be put down. Its rogue agents must be unmasked, stripped of their badges, and prosecuted. Its leaders must be imprisoned.

This is terrifying! ICE breaks into this woman’s car in the pick-up line at West Loop Elementary school in Chicago and detains her before she can pick her kids up from school. (They were eventually let go after showing their documents) This is Trump’s America.

Going to be real, the hate towards this guy reaches a level of engagement that is only possible because of racist hysteria and I know this is the case because I regularly see 40-50 year old white men, on this website included, who feel obliged to pass judgement on him regularly.

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

I was gonna say did Pete’s mom write this headline, but then I remembered she also thinks he’s a bad person.

It’s crazy how Keynes was right about basically everything and we’re still holding our dicks in our hands almost a century later because we let Reaganism/Thatcherism win

1/ This is so f'ing outrageous. You cannot safely restrain people on their stomachs. They're going to kill people. This is very well known now.
