Notably, they are against the two things that actually work: work from home and IVF for lesbians.

Oh my fucking GOD.

Mind you, federal income taxes are the lowest they’ve been in generations AND we have the biggest income and wealth gap since the Napoleonic Wars AND the social safety net in America is an absolute shambles

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

This disproves a lot of right wing ideas about the causes of the decline in marriage rates

why not? nothing ever happens to us presidents who do this. nothing.

Oh, so literal terrorism.

If you bring impeachment, and the vote fails, that sends a message to the voters: GIVE US THE NUMBERS WE NEED.

Dem leaders mostly let their war opposition speak for itself—implicit through complaints about gas prices, etc—while standing back to let Trump harm himself. In practice, though, that leaves Dems mired in proxy fights (Hasan Pikerghazi) while Trump gears up for war crimes. Here's a better way.

I think especially because the news media has recently demonstrated what "we think the president is incompetent and that he should not be in office" looks like in how they covered Biden post-debate and don't do the same for Trump

imagine being in the auto industry's pocket you dumb pathetic cocksuckers. good fucking god lmao, chuck "how much can a banana cost?" tremoring and sobbing about The State of the Economy while my people get mulched but god forbid affordable EVs come to America!!! eat shit you fucking worm.

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

It’s wild how many people act as if the Iraq War never happened.

"But they don't have the votes for impeachment so you can't criticize them for not saying it" is fallacious. Dems don't have the votes to do anything. Even post-midterms, they still wouldn't have the votes to override vetoes, either. It's nonsensical to say they therefore shouldn't advocate stuff.

I’m so tired of these middle management ass Blue types whose conception of wielding power involves no one acting outside of the strictest interpretation of their responsibilities. this is politics at a time of rising fascism. members have tremendous soft power. you can’t say “that’s not his job”!

The other element here is that there are innumerable ways those in formal positions of power can engage in non-cooperation that would jam up the administration but very few of those are actually happening.

At a certain point you start to understand why “journalists” were tried and convicted at Nuremberg.

JB Pritzker in Illinois is advocating for a Republican scam, in the name of "protecting the children". I'm glad to see that not all Democratic electeds are falling for this nonsense.

The reactionary mind cannot process why a White Guy who is Doing Pretty Well would care about their stomping on trans children, drag queens, or gutting public schools. It can’t process why I care about policy that doesn’t personally make my life worse.

Saw Josh Johnson's set last night and he compared Schumer and Jeffries to the last guys you'd ever pick to be on your side in a bar fight 😂 like if you looked to your left and right and that's who had your back you'd just give up right then and there

this man was the VP nominee on the Dem side at one time. My God.

"if i were in a position of power" is a hell of a thing for a [checks notes] senator to say.

Not to mention mall restrictions, closing arcades, and they defunded every bit of teen programming possible at the libraries, closed all the community centers, and refuse to fund after-school and weekend events...

this has to be the greatest single-game defensive performance in baseball history. especially considering they won 1-0

HAPPY EASTER

People in this country go about our daily lives as our government commits atrocity after atrocity. I don’t have words for it.

"The metric of deciding who is a legitimate target 'in effect counts all military-age males in a strike zone as combatants, according to several administration officials, unless there is explicit intelligence posthumously proving them innocent.'” from an article on US drone policy post-9/11

People on here rightly are pissed by the way Democratic politicians post as if they are witnesses to what's happening instead of ACTORS in what's happening. It's absolutely pathetic and weak.

I think the opposition party widely expected to make historic gains in the next election(s) has an obligation to explain how they'll stop this and prevent it from happening again or it's reasonable to conclude they don't plan on doing those things, which raises more uncomfortable questions

A ditch in Roseland, Louisiana, seven months after an oil facility exploded here.

The reason fascism often doesn’t have to fight a long civil war and revolution to establish itself is because it’s a continuation of capitalist policy. If it wasn’t that wouldn’t be true.

My god. These D.C. losers sicken me. We wouldn’t have been scooped by a British tabloid if I lived there. That I can assure you. It wouldn’t have gone down like that.

People don’t wanna put two and two together with what he did to usaid and him putting up those maps of global birthrates and saying white people are being replaced

This is the wildest part Elon did eventually become a source of ire and was targeted with protests but not because he killed hundreds of thousands of people.

Crossing state borders for HRT. Insurance denials. Missed surgeries. U.S. Catholic bishops imposed a ban on all trans healthcare throughout the church's massive networks. That's left working class trans people struggling even more. Our latest, by @davidforbes.bsky.social are some of their stories:

It's enraging. There are trans people across the country, today, who are without basic lifesaving healthcare because the Catholic Church inflicted a ban on *all* trans care in its networks. ...And the current pope mutters about free healthcare and people lap it up. Ffs stop falling for propaganda.

A month ago, Brad Lander put a great video calling for the expansion of the Supreme Court. I (impertinently) responded “This but 29.” Today at 1:00, I’m hoping on Lander’s substack live to talk about court expansion, 13, 29, and all the reforms in between. Should be fun.

Trump is asking Congress for a $1.5 TRILLION military budget in fiscal year 2027. A massive increase. Pentagon funding hit $1 trillion last year between appropriations and party-line reconciliation legislation. The military has failed to pass an audit for eight straight years.

one of my strongest and clearest takeaways from spending all of Lent knee-deep in ICE death reporting is that Camp East Montana should be razed to the ground and every single person who built it, worked there or approved their decisions deserves criminal charges. it is beyond what I imagined.

Can’t stress how much it just can’t be Harris, Newsom or Emanuel in 2028

JUST IN: Defense attorneys for the remaining members of the "Broadview 6" say the agent they're accused of impeding texted about their indictment, reported their political positions to senior ICE officials after they were charged.

A reporter asks about an ICE arrest that reportedly occurred today at the Cook County domestic violence court, in violation of an IL law banning civil arrests at courthouses that Gov. Pritzker signed last fall. Snelling denies such a law exists.

why is this so funny

hell yeah. the way to make the comics show good is 1) free to the public and 2) COMIcs at the damn tables

The American Repeat DUI Reich continues 😭

In a now-deleted video, Trump made his priorities clear: He'd rather spend money on bombs than taking care of Americans.

Remember, the reason cis liberals harass and yell at trans women on this website all the time isn't because we are stuck here with them, it's because they are stuck here with us and don't like that.
