The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The Supreme Court is working hard to turn this country into a despot's dreamscape—while making it nigh impossible for good people to make lasting change for the better. Those of us who begged folks (and national media) to put SCOTUS before everything else in 2016 are in an endless Cassandrian hell.

I saw someone on here say this (I apologize, if it was you lmk so I give you credit) and I thought it was a perfect encapsulation of Rand Paul: “my favorite thing about Rand Paul is he doesn’t care who dislikes his policies. My least favorite thing about him are his policies.”

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND HIS REGIME ARE TRAITORS TO THE UNITED STATES AND OUR ALLIES. (there's no other way to put it)

First day as a backend engineer at #cloudflare today. Found a minor bug and fixed it using ChatGPT. Let's see where the journey takes me.

According to the Republican president, wanting child rapists to face justice means “betraying the Republican party.”

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

As frequently discussed, half of the reason for this mentality is because these people are just genuinely stupid, but the other half is Democrats simply don’t want to believe the people they work with on a daily basis are actual sociopaths who want to see them dead

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP. Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

He’s annoyed someone is getting more attention than him.

The DNC didn't win last night; the fired-up Democratic voters did.

"Build A Ballroom"

You absolutely would not want to be, or be anywhere near, any bottle of ketchup in what remains of the White House today.

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

God - Can you break your own rule just this one time - PLEASE #NoKings

Okay, folks. It's that time again. How to make shelters for outside cats You'll need: - a sharp knife (box cutter recommended) - a plastic tote or foam cooler, with lid - straw Cut a 4" wide square off-center in one side of the tote/cooler. It should be an inch or two above the bottom. 1/2

Seriously, fuck Merrick Garland.

I'm not sure why this needs to be said. I dropped a tattoo artist whose work I REALLY liked because he posted a full back swastika piece he did for someone on his socials. No thanks.

Assuming California passes prop 50, why don't all Blue states do this? Fuck the norms. They're gone. Fight like our fucking democracy is dying.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

future grandchild: like shit, from an ass? me in 30 years: Swear to God. Then he demolished the White House

Live your life in a way that ten million people don’t need to flood the streets to let you know they think you’re a fucking asshole.

I voted for Zarmok the Irrational because I thought his unique approach to governance could bring a refreshing dose of rationality to "politics at usual." But his recent performance has been anything but

Release the #EpsteinFiles!

Maybe it’s just me, but I was never 100% on board with replacing our entire government with one endlessly self-pitying narcissistic asshole & a squadron of empirically loathsome bootlickers who would gladly burn the entire country down to protect his hide from the consequences of molesting children

She told America. We told America. Now, it's here.

So adorable. ☺️🥰

Elon got the message, he's back in the open again, he never left Trump he just needed to remove himself so people would stop sinking Tesla with protests.

Here’s a lot of the stuff about Charlie Kirk that the right is now currently engaged in a nationwide witch hunt to suppress. Share it, repeat it, don’t let evil win. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

GOOD MORNING BLUESKY THIS IS PERFECT

I get the feeling the right wants us to gaf about Kirk being done in by the very thing he worshipped. I care about the school children who died that day, or as Kirk called them, “acceptable loses to keep 2A rights.”

BREAKING NEWS: The Latest in Killing of Charlie Kirk with guests Mary Trump, John Fugelsang and Mike Fanone (This is an EXTRAORDINARY group. Very much worth watching.) open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Does it seems a little odd that the party that violently attacked our capitol is suddenly outraged with political violence?

Fuck it, I'm going to go ahead and say it: The hit on Kirk was professional and perpetrated by Trump and company to provoke more violence.

The murder of Charlie Kirk was criminal, wrong, and should be condemned. And Charlie Kirk was a horrible, hateful man who spent his life radicalizing young people to embrace their worst demons by targeting women, people of color, immigrants, and the marginalized. I refuse to sanitize him.

No more pretending. There is no more Supreme Court. There is nothing Trump will do that will make GOP Congress stop him. They do not intend to have further elections. They plan to go after dissent. Sometimes it’s helpful to establish where we are so we understand the nature of our task.

It’s hard to focus on the growing existential threats abroad when your own government is intent on killing you.

The president of the United States is trying to steal congressional seats so I don’t give a fuck about the Cracker Barrel logo discussion. Good night and have a pleasant tomorrow.

Conservative men alternate between "YEAH BRO SECOND CIVIL WAR MOLON LABE BITCH COME GET SOME" and "when I drive through the city I don't wear my seat belt just in case I have to bail out if a Black person gets too close" and these things are usually within 10 minutes of each other

All these European leaders came to DC today to stand up for Zelensky & Ukraine. They came to DC today because they don’t trust Trump. They came to DC today because they know Trump is on Putin’s side. Shame on us America. Shame on us for putting a traitor in the White House.

Stand firm today, Ukraine. Do not let murderous Putin and his orange minion take a single inch of your home.
