It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

It's time to GET TOUGH ON CRIME

Hmm now that you mention it: Sending troops into our own cities, firing non-white-males, corruptly enriching the President and his cronies, undermining independence of media outlets and universities, violently attacking the Capitol and tearing down half the White House DOES seem kinda un-American

Think of all the money Donald saved by not renting an offsite storage locker for these boxes. Literally HUNDREDS of dollars.

Our Dear Hippo is correct. We demand 67 honorable Senators remove the criminal in January 2027. Nothing less is acceptable. If you disagree, I will remind you of the criminal's crimes.

"The Democrats said they like unions, so I don't know why they wouldn't want everyone to have one. These people are greedy. I call them the Greedocrats."

This performance is badass!

LFG NYC

This is what we want to see on every corruption front. Write the legistlation, give it a name and a bill number. Demand a vote on the bill, which Rs will prevent. Then campaign on that specific bill, not on generalities. "Why does my opponent not support HR 100 The Anti-Corruption Act?"

Everyone at these pressers should be asking: "Where's 'Mucci?"

To Donald Trump: Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities. Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US. Stop attacking the 1st Amendment. Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.

Erich is right. Still, we are saying Venezuelan Lives Matter, because people in the USA need to hear it. Murder is wrong. #VenezuelanLivesMatter

When elected we will: *Cut FICA payroll tax rates paid by workers and employers! *Eliminate FICA payroll tax cap! *Keep Social Security benefits and Medicare funded! *Raise top income tax rates, to punish fascist billionaires! This program increases prosperity and security for all of us

I wish that fearful anger at "the bad others" was not such a prominent feature of our group psychology, and I expect we can outgrow it in time. But since it is a principal shape in modern minds, we should give them a sensible other to despise, the least vulnerable of us: bsky.app/profile/stub...

You have to take advantage of the moment your enemy turns into demons to demonize the enemy in the eyes of a critical mass of people, to shift their identities towards yours. People follow strength.

"...he plans to introduce a bill that would levy a surtax on people making more than a million dollars a year. That tax, which would be incrementally phased in, would pay for permanent tax relief for the working class." This is what we want to hear! 👏 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I shouldn't have to start a "Venezuelan Lives Matter" protest movement that consumes the national attention for Democrats to go nuclear on the boat strikes, which are patently illegal, morally wrong, and incredibly damaging to America.

The name of this band is Escalator Safety Feature

Everyone seems to just assume that we are not going to get an email from Sol telling us that our "free trial" is over

Cellmate buddy-comedy incoming!

We have 999 brilliant podcasters warning about our dangerous present. But who is building our glorious future, *rhetorically*?

When elected we will: *Cut FICA payroll tax rates paid by workers and employers! *Eliminate FICA payroll tax cap! *Keep Social Security benefits and Medicare funded! *Raise top income tax rates, to punish fascist billionaires! This program increases prosperity and security for all of us

In 2029 I want all the billionaires to be saying: Yikes, our taxes are so high now! We really should not have gone along with Musk on the whole "let's install fascism" plan. We knew it was wrong, but we did it anyway, and now we are being punished. Lesson learned. bsky.app/profile/stub...

The intolerant left is doing cancel culture again. Have we learned nothing?

I don't know anything about this actress but I like this photo

The Trump administration is an incompetent, blundering, evil failure. It is all cruelty, racism, lying, corruption, betrayal and destruction.

Anyway...Dems need to break out of the impulse to see 200 white people protesting against Covid restrictions as "the voice of the people which we must heed" while seeing 10X as many people protesting racist police violence as "a niche special interest group that's out of step with real Americans."

Killed another rat with a trap in my basement. Is it unkind to kill rats that come in my home? Last week I forced a random cat to drop a not-yet-dead bird that was in its mouth. Was that a kind action? I wanted it to be, but I don't know.

Just imagine: If AI gets powerful enough, computers might one day be able to do accurate arithmetic. We could throw away our abacuses! This crazy dream is going to require some sacrifices, but surely it is worth destroying our ecosystem for it. Do we really have a choice?

Bartleby Mode: Being a scrivener doesn't mean you gotta scriven

This is a good thread, and my persistent question about this kind of matter (which I think does not have a simple answer) is: How much of this kind of regulation really *needs* to be national/federal?

"Conservatism" is defined by a racist belief that we are "safe" only when cops are allowed to mistreat brown people, with impunity. The only crime statistics that matter to "conservatives" are the amounts of cruelty and impunity. Sad!

I like most of these people, while my instinct is that a charismatic young-ish latino male from the interior of the country will have the best shot at unifying our nation around a bold program to rebuild our institutions and make big reforms. My calculus leads to @juliancastrotx.bsky.social

"Donald, some people are saying that Vance wants to be President in 2029, but others are saying he is ready now. Do you think JD is ready to be President, today? Does he have enough red ties in his closet? Does Vance have the skills needed to make big beautiful deals?"

My theory is that anti immigration sentiment is mostly independent of immigration numbers

The first story baby hitlers learn goes like this: "In 2020 Jeffery Epstein stole the presidential election trophy for Sleepy Joe Biden. A group of patriots were called by god to take back the trophy from the horrible Epstein, but Sleepy Joe's wicked son Hunter the Greedy was too strong for them."

To buy fruit of labor, most of us (today) must sell our own labor But not all of us Those who have the most labor-buying power are called billionaires, although soon there may also be trillionaires We need not hate the power these people have (today), but it behooves us to hold it accountable

Let's carefully dissect these claims made by Fetterman Quoting from article dated 2025-Jun-02 thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This is the best way for the most cowardly Dems to fight: Start naming the slaughterhouse owners and demanding they be prosecuted for hiring undocumented workers. Let's see the names and pictures of these guys.

Endorsing hatred of hearing the Spanish language "in public" is endorsing hatred. Whoever funds Yarvin is funding hatred as a means of accumulating power. That's what fascism is. We know who the billionaire funders are. Yet well-funded fascist hatred is rampant, because we tolerate it, so far.

As a white American-born male who speaks Spanish I will make sure no matter how many people are deported that assholes like this one have to hear Spanish spoken in public for the rest of their miserable lives.

How ironic that the agency in charge of oppressing, rounding up and expelling our supplemental labor force is hampered by ... a labor shortage.

The key here is the "steady, well-designed policy message up for years" part. Immigration has become a winning issue for MAGA because Dems did not steadily drumbeat (for years!) a clear positive message about immigration and their plans for it. They only *reacted* to Donald's bluster and lies.

Trying out some new slogans: Stop Kidnapping People Immigrant Rights Are Human Rights People Are Mostly Good Defend Our Constitution

Mr. Garcia's story will surely be a TV serial within 5 years No reason it can't be one now We need to get faster at recounting recent history

"Concentration camps" is the correct framing. I support and fund Dems who call out the police state budget of the R-acist party and use the harshest possible rhetoric. I don't support any who whitewash this.

What I'm saying is that today's story needs more bear carcasses, some totally benign brain worms, a dog strapped to the roof of a station wagon; that kinda thing. If RFK Jr can't deliver by 7:45 EDT we're bringing in Giuliani.

Does it say "except for moms" somewhere on these signs, in really small type?

Just found this COVID webisode from the team. Brilliant! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nirr...
