Under current law, tech companies and data brokers are free to collect, analyze, store, and sell our most personal data for profit. And they are doing it every day. We need a 21st century privacy law in Massachusetts to protect us all from harm. mobilize.aclum.org/a/pass-enfor...

Democrats could promise every single resentful white working class guy in the country his very own rainbow unicorn & it wouldn't matter because those guys *never hear what Dems say*. They get their information about Dems entirely second had, via sources committed to making them hate Dems.

This.

Agreed. It's not possible to reconcile "rule of law" with "one week the GOP SCOTUS will nullify a 43-year-old statute so they can allow racial gerrymandering, then the next week the GOP VA SC will block voter-approved redistricting and have themselves a laugh by citing the SCOTUS liberals' dissent."

Look at my opposition leader dawg

Jesus. Did that sergeant at arms walk there directly from the Pettus Bridge? The hair, the whole look, everything. Make the photo B&W, and you wouldn't know if it was 2026 or 1965. And the reasons are the same. And the fight's the same. Confederacy and Jim Crow lost before. They'll lose again.

New White House national counterterrorism strategy targets: - “left-wing extremists" - “anti-Fascists" - “radically pro-transgender” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/insane-pre...

A detail I didn’t know: “The Herald entered the Epstein series for a Pulitzer Prize that year, but it was not a finalist. Alan Dershowitz … who helped broker Epstein’s original deal, wrote a letter to the Pulitzer committee that year, urging them not to honor Brown’s work.” share.inquirer.com/THMiUZ

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

These billboards could play a huge role in mobilizing local resistance to Trump’s detention camps, but we need your help to fund them — please pitch in if you can.

Americans may be unhappy about gas prices and affordability more generally, but at least they can take solace in the President's forthcoming ballroom and new luxury jet.

42 Democrats just joined 192 Republicans to reauthorize FISA Section 702 – a warrantless surveillance law that's been used to access Americans' data. Democratic leadership did not whip their members, enabling them to vote with Republicans and give Trump the surveillance powers.

Many of the politicians who were in that room running scared tonight have devoted much of their lives to ensuring gun violence and the fear of it is a part of every day life for the rest of us.

Smiling next to the man whose administration has destroyed families in Los Angeles by abducting immigrants off the streets. Not to mention the other harms he’s causing by destroying social programs and federal assistance.

every trump nomination, regardless of position, should have been a unified "no" from the democrats that is literally the bare minimum, and the party not only failed at that in the first few months -- THEY ARE STILL FAILING AT THAT NOW

80 year old congressman David Scott has died after serving in the House for 23 years. He is the fourth Democratic congressperson age 70+ to die in office since 2025.

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

HEY MAN WHAT THE FUCK WHY IS EVERY CANDIDATE IN THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR’S RACE A TOTE BAG OF MEDICAL WASTE

how is this literally happening in real life

Exactly one year ago today:

These Dem senators voted today to continue sending 1,000 pound bombs to kill and obliterate, and Caterpillar bulldozers to destroy homes and infrastructure: Richard Blumenthal Chris Coons Catherine Cortez Masto John Fetterman Kirsten Gillibrand Jacky Rosen Chuck Schumer

NEW: Virginia just passed a law to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, giving it 222 of 270 electoral votes needed to activate. This map and spreadsheet show which states could join to activate it by 2028 depending on the outcome of the 2026 elections docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

“If these are the horrors we know about, what are the ones we still don’t know about?” asked Robyn Barnard, “a co-author of the report and the senior director of refugee advocacy at Human Rights First.”

I think this is at least partially responsible for the cavalier way politicians are responding to the crisis we're living through. They think it'll pass and when it's their turn to govern they'll still be governing America as they understand it. They probably won't

interesting that when a movie with female protagonists does poorly the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists and when a movie with female protagonists is a huge hit the response is to cancel upcoming projects with female protagonists

LAPD misconduct has defunded the City of Los Angeles to the tune of $430 million. That will soar after new claims the past few months. Karen Bass has been an elected official 20+ years. As mayor she appointed the chief and entire police commission. She’s never said ONE WORD about this in public.

URGENT:

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

Discworld QOTD, from Night Watch

So fucking funny to sell this to big businesses and world governments

Trump is giving $1 billion of your money to a French energy company to prevent it from bringing low-cost clean power to the East Coast. While your energy bills go up, Trump is making you pay to stop the solutions. I'm demanding answers and for our money back with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov.

Heavy suppression in a protest against Ben Gvir's execution law, At least three people arrested and a Journalist was injured after a water cannon direcly shot him

the most vile pieces of shit

“I’m a real cowboy and my main job is to stomp people within their rights of freedom of speech with a giant terrified animal, do you know if they make Punisher masks in horsey size”

Discworld QOTD, from Feet of Clay

When did the Senate confirm Witkoff? Oh, right. Never. He’s just a corrupt real estate crony masquerading as a special envoy of the Mad King.

This is an absolute scandal; the United States government is deliberately consolidating all deportation cases of an ethnic minority that the President has called "garbage" in front of a handpicked group of judges and with dramatically accelerated timeline. A lawsuit was filed yesterday against it.

Average immigration detention deaths per month from FY 2010 to FY 2024: 0.69 Average immigration detention deaths per month in FY 2025: 1.75 Average immigration detention deaths per month so far in FY 2026: 4.6 www.npr.org/2026/03/10/g...

3000 controllers short is legitimately insane. They’re willing to kill us all to simply not pay people and give them better working conditions.

NEW: For the first time, ProPublica has been able to quantify how many U.S. citizen children have been directly affected by Trump’s immigration crackdown: more than 11,000 kids had a parent detained — and that’s an undercount. 1/ 🧵 www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Trump is just trying to honor his own understanding of the Revolutionary War

This is what I was hoping to see from influencers and independent journalists who traveled to Cuba. The impacts of U.S. actions aren't getting the attention they deserve in mainstream media. My people are being ignored in the U.S. news.

Putting together an analysis of all the anti trans laws over the last few years and there's never been anything like this in US history. The total number of state laws passed in 5 years (300+) approaches the total number of Jim Crow laws (400+) passed over a 100 years.

Over/under on when Woke Ginger turns to the right wing grift?

Hello, Gaius Cassius Longinus here. I have a favor to ask you. Julius Caesar has DECLARED himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE! I need you to send a denarius to Save The Republic PAC RIGHT NOW so we can stop Caesar from making himself a king.

Officials are normally presented with ceremonial swords or paintings or whatever. But these guys are so fucking stupid that foreign intelligence agencies can literally give them an "Honorary Electronic Communications Device for a Very Special Boi" and they fall for it every time.

I’m reading the 6th Shardlake novel, set at the end of Henry the 8th’s reign. He’s a sick and dying old man who is using war to remember his glory days, bankrupting the country to do it while terrorizing them with arbitrary rules. Meanwhile, cronies are jockeying for power. It feels familiar…
