This is a cold civil war. There is no more territory to expand as a release valve, there’s no Kansas-Nebraska Acts and more Indians to force onto reservations; the only frontiers are inward and slave power is forcing its hand to tilt the scales while it still can.

I have said before that Donald Trump is resegregating the federal government in the same way Woodrow Wilson did as president. The Roberts Court just gave the green light to the GOP to do the same thing in every legislature they control.

The number of people who seem to be intelligent and caring, but are more concerned with "winning" than making things better, is depressingly high.

Honestly, I think this site is fairly useless. Which is better than twitterx, a clearly harmful site. I guess journalists, researchers and some other folks can get a lot out of this. But for regular folks, there's not much benefit. Gift articles are nice. Confirmation bias is fun.

He spent an entire segment on Fetterman?

Indeed—Elect more women!

Patel’s behavior has deteriorated to the point that some officials describe him as a national security risk. www.thedailybeast.com/keystone-kas...

This might surprise you BUT…it’s not Black Folks that keep voting for Republicans in Texas. Have you considered asking your republican family members and friends why they keep voting like that vs expecting Black Folks to save you from your friends and family?

Wow. Donald Trump bypasses Congress to launch a war that’s rattling the global economy, and now Russell Vought is in a Senate budget hearing playing careful like he just needs more time to “get the numbers right.” This isn’t about dotting i’s and crossing t’s — it’s dodging accountability.

She's awfully mum on the starving to death of hundreds of thousands by funding cuts but...taxation!!!

No White girl worth her salt is trying to have babies with these White incel losers who sit in their childhood bedroom listening to manosphere podcasts while they play Xbox with a bunch of other. No White girl worth something is trying to have a baby with a JD Vance or Stephen Miller type.

Today I asked the top nonpartisan budget official in our government an important question. What single piece of legislation has contributed most to the national debt in the last decade? The answer? Trump's Big Ugly Bill—and it's not even close.

In response to a series of immigration-related detainments in front of the Whatcom County Courthouse, the presiding judge is expanding virtual access options for those who need to be in court.

I'm a gay black man with a masters degree in sociology who's studied hate groups pretty extensively, actually.

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States. Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay. Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.

"health insurance" companies don't actually provide care, and in some instances, expedite death. universal heath care NOW! www.yahoo.com/finance/sect...

they are. next question!

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Let’s never forget about how many people the MAGA regime and their ICE-Gestapo killers have murdered thus far whilst in their concentration camps, another thing the American state media are desperately hoping the public forgets about.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

Almost a year ago I wrote a proposal to several democratic congressmen as well as Hakeem Jeffries’ chief of staff for democrats to adopt the “criminal organization” framing for Trump and his corrupt and lawless administration. 1/2

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

If you've ever had the misfortune of reading Lees Twitter dreck this is an idea that should keep all of you up at night.

My god. Essential, horrifying reporting here.

No really. Horrible white people were able to manipulate directly electors regarding the electoral college. Able to manipulate people counting votes and in charge of voting rights laws. How about fixing shit instead of blaming something or someone else? www.npr.org/2026/04/14/n...

$200 billion materialized overnight for Trump’s war of choice in Iran. But for 25 million uninsured Americans, Congressional Republicans have nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. Sen. Warnock is right. Americans deserve more. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

"When you lose a war, things get worse, and voters blame the president when things get worse. At some point, though, the US will need to reckon with this loss as a loss if it wants to prevent such debacles in the future."

First Amendment Troop returns to the Lincoln Memorial with “ResistDance vs Redaction” — A protest with young dancers blindfolded, with Epstein Files printed on their leotards to symbolize redacted survivors. The piece reinterprets 13-yr-old Jane Doe 4’s testimony about Trump through movement. ❤️‍🩹

“Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: ‘I don’t want…Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.’” @propublica.org 10/17/25… 1/ www.propublica.org/article/russ...

Too early for Halloween? lol

Actual article in "The Lamp" that will change no minds at all.

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 16 deaths in detention this year.

When CITIZENS VOTE in MASSIVE NUMBERS, the FACIST and AUTOCRATS LOSE. It happens every ELECTION that sees MASSIVE TURNOUT. This is why the MAGAt’s are so DESPERATE to deny AMERICANS the RIGHT TO VOTE for as many as possible

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

😬

"Just get Amanda Ungaro out of the country, and we'll never hear from her again."

Remember this the next time you hear Rogan saying how horrified he is of what Trump is doing.

Theres a war in Iran and our own govt is terrorizing us. The most important midterms in our history are this fall. 2026. Excuse me for asking, but WHAT THE FUCK is up with folks talking about "electability" in 2028? Keep your eye on the damn ball and don't do anything remotely harmful to our chances

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

Given the huge early turnout in Hungary odds seem very high that Magyar wil defeat Orbán very decisively; the question in that case would be whether Orbán goes with the Ukrainian electoral interference lie he has been preparing and whether foreign actors support him.

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

This appears to be the reason Janet Mills did not agree to a debate today. Seems like a pretty good reason.

. BREAKING: Donald Trump has reportedly been calling Republicans this weekend demanding that "under no circumstances" are they allowed to subpoena Melania to testify about her Epstein connections because he doesn't trust her not to throw him under the bus. .
