If the state of Delaware prohibited companies incorporated there from spending on elections in any way, Citizens United would be dead in the water. Delaware incorporates more companies than any other state. It’s a blue state. Let’s get cracking on moving Delaware lawmakers on this!

post a famous bathroom scene

One of my favorite social media redundancies is when people respond to a list of facts with, “I disagree!” Ma’am and sirs — Mirs, if you will — that isn’t how anything works. You cannot “disagree” with the color of the sky or a timestamped event.

Every liberal democratic voter should see the way the Mamdani and Trump spoke and how Mamdani, never having to compromise his positions, was able to get Trump to agree with him. Thats what left-wing populism can do and it’s the direction the Democratic Party must go.

Social workers: heads up.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

Brilliant thread.

Extremely important thread - we must keep fighting!

Still processing that an economic advisor to multiple administrations, business leaders, and top institutions was asking a known sex trafficker of minor age girls to be his wingman for attempting to coerce his academic mentee into a sexual relationship—years after he said that women aren’t as smart

It is my fondest hope that Dr. Tressie McMillan Cottom might have comments on the Olivia Nuzzi cluster.

True, but you should probably get her boss to resign first. Do you know how to go about doing that? Reach out if you would like tips and tricks or some pre-written impeachment articles, Hakeem. We're here to help.

whatever they release won't be all that there is. These people cannot be trusted. EVER.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Great thread on mental health causes and treatments - compassionate and wise.

On the left, the refurbished Lincoln bathroom. On the right, picture I took in Saddam Hussein's palace in Basra in 2005.

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

Yet another brilliant thread from Derek Guy. Be sure to follow him if you aren’t already. @dieworkwear.bsky.social

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

Everyone deserves food, healthcare, housing and an education. They shouldn’t have to “prove they matter” to access basic support. They shouldn’t be forced to justify their “worth” to have a chance at survival. This shouldn’t be up for debate. We have enough to help everyone.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

This is probably fine....

It's worth noting that they're only able to do this because they gerrymandered the state legislative seats 15 years ago so they have a permanent legislative supermajority (allowing them to overrule the D governor) in a 50/50 state

*screaming into the void again*

Hell, yes! Former Special Counsel Jack Smith has called Republicans' and the criminal conman's bluff. Smith is offering to testify publicly about his probe into Trump’s theft of classified documents, his fake electors scam, and his treasonous attempted coup to overthrow the republic. 1/2

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

The writing is on the wall: When he shows no interest or concern in bringing the federal workforce back because he doesn’t fear electoral consequences, and he is destroying the White House to design it like his home, he doesn’t expect to have to leave.

At what point do we acknowledge that Johnson has effectively dissolved Congress?

Trump is doing the exact same job as President as he did in business. Trying to make himself rich, get vengeance on his enemies, extort everyone in sight, build monuments to himself, and leaving ruin in his wake everywhere.

Sincerity is the punkest thing going

They may be your children but they’re not your property.

No Kings, No Fascists

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

YUB NUB, MOTHERFUCKERS

I have seen so little coverage about this. I know someone who lives there and she says some villages simply cannot ever come back from this.

We've been keeping track of all of the atrocities Trump has committed since he took office in January. To be clear, this is not humor or satire, but maybe sometime in the future, our relatives will see this, shake their heads, and think, "What a hilarious shitshow of a timeline."

The Republican leaders of North Carolina's state legislature called everyone back to Raleigh to find a way to rig another US House seat for Donald Trump, but not to pass a state budget, or fund our state's Medicaid system. Do you get it now? 🤡

This isn't a new insight, but: the people who are always ready to put a Black teenager on trial as an adult sure do like extending the "youth will be youth" excuse in other contexts— not just to college students like Kavanaugh, but to, e.g., 35-year-olds on a Young Republicans group chat.

It's hard to imagine that there's a bigger story than America's fall towards fascism, a brewing Third World War, or the economy on the brink of a massive global recession... but there is.

Trump is no longer even pretending to have any kind of argument that his murdering of people in the Caribbean Sea has any kind of statutory validity. Just straight up declaring that he has quasi-unlimited power to execute people based on (nominal) suspicion.

Extinguishing MLK's Eternal Flame is both outrageous and a hell of a metaphor for right now www.wsbtv.com/news/local/a...

I'm sitting here thinking about having a 15 daughter being chased down and abducted by masked men while the local police watch and let them carry her away to god-knows where w/zero accountability we have to understand that girls are in severe danger of sexual violence from anonymous ICE goons

IT IS TIME.

The land of the brave

Stephen Miller is portraying opposition to Donald Trump in any form, including by judges issuing legal rulings, as an illegal rebellion, Jonathan Chait argues:

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

At the Asheville regional airport. Fuck these people.
