I sometimes feel like they don’t want to end poverty or reduce inequality because they believe they’re entitled to a class of people they can prey upon

In a functional society, the types of people active in the Trump administration could not gain power, let alone keep it as they engage in brutal, criminal behavior. Trump is a symptom, not the sum of our problem.

My gosh — After Israeli forces tear-gassed this kid, making him collapse, other soldiers then "detained the ambulance carrying Aysam from the Beita Emergency Center to Nablus for several minutes, interrogating the driver about Aysam’s injury, location, and cause before it was allowed to continue."

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

The federal workforce was shut down and shut out of our work for no reason at all. Workers endured fear & hardships in hopes healthcare could remain affordable. Hard choices and serious consequences befell federal workers and their loved ones. A month and a half of suffering, to get nothing.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time. Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

I’m hearing a lot of despair and “what’s the point”-ing. Here’s the point: ONE less person kidnapped by ICE. ONE more child vaccinated. ONE grant reinstated. ONE more PEPFAR treatment. ONE more meal to a hungry kid. ONE more person covered by Medicaid. One life is ALWAYS worth resistance.

Newsom is a demagogue and hypocrite. He will say anything to advance his political career.

Its not good enough to delete our existences at home. Our existence has to be deleted overseas too.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

today was the second time in the past thirty days that ICE / CBP used chemical weapons ON AN INFANT and i feel like i’m going to lose mind just typing this sentence

40 men Trump sent to CECOT tell the NYT they were beaten, tortured, and sexually assaulted. The details are worse than you can imagine. We can’t let them get away with this. Miller and the other architects of this sadism need to go to prison. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/w...

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them. There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

Guy with a sandwich: “Fuck you armed agent of the state.” Ivy League: “I will eat my poop and thank you for it because I’m scared of a Fox News personality cosplaying as a lawyer”

Reminder that Republicans don't really believe in religious liberty. Religion is a tool for enhancing their political power, and any expression of faith to the contrary must be suppressed.

They’re not going to make noise about it, because they’ve been part of stoking the trans panic to distract from their predation on children.

"He wasn't always racist. He had good qualities." So what? Someone was going to figure out the structure of DNA, probably within a year. Most of those people weren't going to spend the second 50 years of their lives giving false legitimacy to bigots and creeping out everyone they met.

incredible that "we cannot deliver cities that are free of pogroms of ethnic terror by secret policy" is actual policy in practice

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command. If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics. It’s trials w real punishments.

Notably, none of the half a million dead profited him in any way. This wasn't a "my aggressive business move killed people but it was good business". This was just a "I'm rich and powerful now, let me go kill a bunch of poor brown people because no one will stop me."

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel. Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire. Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year. Glad everything worked out for them. How about you?

The moment he was given the power to do so, he killed as many people of the most vulnerable as possible. He did it gleefully and bragged about it. He's proud of it. I can't think of any consequence too severe for it, or any punishment he doesn't deserve. And yet here we are.

There are people who are never mentioned except in the context of their crimes against humanity. Musk will be one someday, but it should be today. Every article about SpaceX, Neuralink, Twitter that isn't really about why a mass murderer is in this position in our society is a failure.

The truly maddening thing is that, unlike when I was a young man in science and the materials and engineering just weren’t there yet, the future is *right there.* The problem is *solved*. What’s holding us back is not just greed, but this bizarre nostalgia, an obsession with petro- masculinity.

No matter who wins in 2026 and 2028, we are doomed as a country if we do not dismantle this and put the people responsible behind bars

Thinking today about that mega-wealthy guy who in 2014 warned fellow mega-wealthy guys that it would not be too long before they faced popular revolt. badfaithtimes.com/americans-ar...

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Just going to have to boost it harder now

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Hey just a regular reminder to transphobes to get fucked. If any are still following me please lick the bottom of a dumpster and then go jump in a pool of dog shit. No one wants you around. Today's election results are a strong message: we win when we fight for our trans family 🏳️‍⚧️

These are good odd year wins. That said, a political system that oscillates between a liberal party and an increasingly fascist party will continue to degrade and move right. We still need movement orgs and political leaders to embrace year-round democracy and deep reform. Hope they can get there.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Yes. More like this. More fight. Polarize everything. newrepublic.com/article/2018...

#Thugs "Leaving his home in Ontario to work at a food bank Thursday morning, Carlos Jimenez pulled over to warn a group of federal agents that they should wrap up their stop of a car quickly because school-age children would soon gather there to take the bus, his lawyers said Sunday."

I cannot recommend this article highly enough

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

The duty to keep the memories of the World War II generation alive will pass solely to us soon. The work of fighting fascism may never finish.

When you say something is a distraction, you are not-very-implicitly scolding anyone who makes a big deal out of it: You’re a sucker! You fell for the trick! When the putative distraction is some egregious breach of political norms or actual laws, you are helping normalize and minimize the breach.
