They get it. He never will.

The athletes calling for a better America — or even saying they represent the best aims of America — are more truly patriotic than JD Vance could ever claim to be.

Donald Trump is a racist.

I genuinely think this is a very good tactic. Treat collaborators like what they are. Use every possible method at every level of government to make it clear that collaborators will be punished.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Critics claimed that the How Many Stops Act would destroy the NYPD and public safety. Let’s check in on that… and hopefully learn from it.

We gotta come up with a better system than “everything rests on whether these twelve billionnaires are nice”

This is a GREAT time to primary your “centrist” rep from the left in blue districts.

It's not a dummymander when a 30 point swing means you get wiped out. That's just plain old getting nuked, no map can save you.

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Maybe I'm an online leftist but idk if the Billionaire Commerce Secretary lied about talking to the leader of the billionaire pedophile cabal I would have no more questions and just call for his resignation.

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I approve this message.

We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!

This child looks devastated. We know from the courageous actions of his fellow detainees (his “fellow detainees!” He’s five!!!) in Dilley that there are others like him. I honestly don’t care if maximalist demands are bad strategic politics. We should make them because they’re important moral ones

What's the Minnesota version of a Bojangles? because she was about to give him a two piece and a biscuit

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

I humbly suggest leaving your liberal comfort zone by listening to podcasts that are further to the LEFT than you ffs

This is the mood.

Paid agitators don't do 30 below zero.

I am so fucking cold. This is incredible.

Cynically, DeLauro issued blistering statements against ICE, then negotiated the ICE funding deal, then personally voted against it, then celebrated with Republicans after passage. She's 82, represents Yale, and has a primary challenger.

Keep in mind, the entire Democratic Party’s response has NOT BEEN “the mad king wants to invade Greenland and that’s wrong” but rather “this doesn’t lower the price of groceries.”

Happy 11th anniversary of me losing my fucking mind over this QVC clip

This is who voted against establishing DHS

indicates a problem with the metaphor of “political capital” as some limited quantity thing you can only spend down. in fact like actual capital if you invest it smart and fast the returns can compound

this alone is worth an impeachment tbh

the democratic party has shown an enormous amount of willingness to resist its base on key issues. there's no world where you get some moderate into power and just pressure them to do the right thing.

the most important thing in 2028 is electing someone who is a true believer in the project of dismantling right-wing power. if you don't get that, then nothing else will matter very much.

We so rarely get true surprises in who becomes a star. I am enjoying every minute of this, partly because they are too.

Should Animals Be Doing More For Animal Rights

rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

10,000 people honoring Renee Nicole Good at the site of her murder

We need to go back to television shows being 22-25 episodes per season

We have published the following update to our article following an email response from the New York Times. Trans News Network has a policy against platforming bigotry. As such, we have declined to publish the Times' statement which included blatant transphobia.

I further put forward that we be allowed to be a little bit rude about it. look what the obsession with civility has gotten us. if a person is being hateful or saying something untrue, you should be allowed to get a little bitchy if you need to!

we MUST consult congress when we do illegal war!!!!!!!!!!!!

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

This current crop of Democrats just fundamentally doesn’t understand how to do politics. I just saw a clip of Seth Moulton saying “Maybe this is about just stealing the oil. We don’t know because they won’t tell us.” The point of politics is to define your opponents agenda!

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration. Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

they’re going to want to kill him for this but he’s so right, individualism as an ideology needs to end

Trump said on "Truth Social" the other day that his "real" approval rating is 64%. He is a liar. It is 40% (56% disapprove). It is important to call out authoritarians when they try to manufacture consent for their unpopular agendas. Remind people how unpopular he is. substack.com/@gelliottmor...

Hey look at that - the NYT finally covered No Kings.

My take on the MetroCard is calling it a card feels like a lie. It conjures up the idea of, well, a card. Businesscard, greeting card, credit card all at somewhat durable and firm. The MetroCard had the durability and firmness of a soggy piece of paper. So yeah good riddance.

Making a New Year's resolution to watch a lot of baseball in 2026. I think I can do it. I believe in myself.
