JESSE WATTERS: Bring back McCarthyism! JD VANCE: Heh heh heh!

Be kind to your local MAGA, they've had a busy week defending a surrender to Iran, bizarre racist conspiracy theories, a gathering at a pedophile's house in Washington and the Reflecting Pool being psychedelic green They've got a *lot* of sad rage they need to vomit on you today

two things 1) i wish the traditional political process were willing to ask these people straightforwardly about their antipathy towards blacks and other nonwhites 2) that vance’s instinct is to ingratiate himself and not go on the attack is why he is ultimately cooked

It is now illegal to post this image with the caption “become ungovernable.”

Russia: "Trump is my bitch." Israel: "No, Trump is my bitch." Iran: "No, Trump is my bitch." Algae in the reflecting pool: "No..."

I didn't check the data, I came here to spread propaganda

“Authoritarian leaders, or elected leaders inclined toward it, are bullies, deceivers, selfish cowards. If they are growing in number it is because (with exceptions) many other politicians are mediocre... focused on their own image... too afraid to stand up...” - Winston Churchill #RFA

Unitary executive theory was made up by conservative lawyers in 1980s to empower Reagan. Today, they find support in Scalia’s dissent in Morrison v Olson, but SCOTUS majority — in still-binding precedent — said hogwash. www.csmonitor.com/USA/Justice/...

Following the lead of our local groups in Michigan, we’re excited to announce our endorsements of two more Democratic fighters: @wewill2026.bsky.social and @donavanmckinney.bsky.social!

This is modern conservatism in a nutshell -- it's OK if Americans have to pay a lot for this stupid war of choice, because the people that Americans hate will have to pay even more. No amount of suffering is bad as long as we know someone else is suffering worse.

A Russian political cartoonist who lampooned Putin, Semyon Skrepetsky, has been assassinated in the Polish city of Biała Podlaska. He was shot in the parking area of a residential building. A suspect was arrested near the Belarusian Embassy.

Trump got nothing.

🚨BREAKING: Large buses entering Delaney Hall ICE Prison on Day 23 of protests and prisoners hunger strike. Hundreds of prisoners have been transferred out in recent days as retaliation against the hunter strike. Our JT Cestkowksi reports ⬇️

Just wait until all the roaches show

fake feds are investigating ballots that don’t exist from a made-up city. other than that, totally checks out.

In other words: the U.S. gives Iran everything it wants immediately, including billions in cash, for a pinky promise to negotiate a future deal on the things the U.S. wants

The year is 2026. The White House is hosting a UFC fight on the lawn. Sponsored by Monster Energy Drink. It just doesn't get any tackier than that.

Yes Republicans, you are getting burned by him. And make no mistake, you are ENTIRELY responsible for the ongoing destruction and pillaging of our nation. But to the few of you who are somewhat standing up, it’s about fvcking time! #Pinks

At the center of this was the “Great Compression” in wages, as examined by Goldin and Margo in 1992. The FLSA finally cracked into the nation’s regional wage divergences, as well.

The very things that made the 'great years' the GOP daydream upon are also the things to which they are most opposed. Imagine that.

#tdih 1866, 14th Amendment to U.S. Constitution passed. This Reconstruction Amendment said that states can't deny any person “life, liberty, or property, without due process of law” or deny any person “equal protection of the laws.” #TeachReconstruction 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/fo...

The world now has its first trillionaire, but 39% of families in Florida are using "Buy Now, Pay Later" apps to buy groceries. This is Donald Trump’s America. A playground for the mega rich built entirely on the credit card debt of hungry children. What are we even doing?

The Memorandum of Understanding that Trump keeps calling a “deal” would lift key sanctions on Iran, release Iran's frozen assets and take steps to reintegrate Iran into the global economy as part of a broader agreement, Mehr reports. The proposal has not been finalised or approved.

#BLM OTD 1963, Black students Vivian Malone & James Hood successfully registered for classes at the U of Alabama. The "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door," occurred after federalized National Guard troops forced segregationist Governor George Wallace to step aside. #BlackAmericanHistoryIsAmericanHistory

wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.

NEW: The Right to Record Act was just introduced in Congress, which would allow people to sue federal agents who violate our First Amendment right to record their actions in public. This bill is essential to protecting our ability to hold our government accountable.

Reporting from outside the Newark ICE jail Delaney Hall, where hundreds of detained immigrants are on hunger and labor strike, Democracy Now! spoke to a man who had just been released from detention, a community organizer, a lawyer and family members of those being held in the ICE jail.

The many over the money: Tuesday’s elections were bad news for the Fascism Funders who are trying to buy Democratic politicians.

When you bitch about "the entrenched bureaucracy" you sound like George Wallace ranting about "briefcase-toting bureaucrats" or Donald Trump conspiratorially denouncing "the deep state." The people who do the nuts and bolts work of government aren't the problem here. Try punching up instead.

Hegseth used his D-Day anniversary speech in France to promote a version of the white nationalist great replacement theory. He claimed “different European beaches are stormed by different dangerous ideologies.” He asked what Europe will do about this “invasion,” and if it is “too late.”

June 7, 1776: “Resolved, That these United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States.” Richard Henry Lee offers to the Continental Congress his resolution to declare independence, take measures for forming foreign alliance and unite the colonies into a confederation. 1/7

For years we’ve been told by MAGA that voter fraud is everywhere and that elections are being stolen. Yet when actual investigations produce evidence, it often seems to lead back to some of the same people making the accusations. This year, GA election officials reprimanded Elon Musk’s America PAC

#tdih 1966, James Meredith began Memphis to Jackson March Against Fear to encourage African Americans to register & vote after 1965 VRA. Think about name of the march. Black people had to face white supremacist threats to jobs & life to vote, despite VRA. 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ma...
