democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

not to be vengeful but i want all of us to remember this exact feeling the next time anyone pops off with some apologia for weak willed self serving democrats as if any of these fuckers deserve the benefit of the doubt

DING DING DINGGGG

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

I will always tell leftists to read the Jakarta method and killing hope and really process what we will be up against and what that means for the movements we build

There are now at least 100k card carrying communists and socialists around the country. It is a perfectly good time to question tactics and form revolutionary organizations

It’s not about being on a high horse it’s about using these moments of frustration and crisis and rupture to help people understand how the system works so they get out of their delusional frame of mind

congrats to the tankies, we were right too early once again! put it to the fucking board

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

They are and have always been the obstacle to real social progress in America.

I say make a Chelli Aphra adult animated show that’s just like the comics and we’ll be good

Israel is a nazi state. You are in denial about what it actually is.

#BREAKING | Israeli soldiers caught stealing cash and gold from homes in Gaza after killing and displacing owners.

I don't think it's cowardice. I think that they are OK with what the GOP is doing. The sooner folks reconcile with this, the better.

my entire adult life, democrats have needed to be dragged kicking and screaming towards even the consideration that they should do right by the people who voted for them. i’m tired.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

If it’s not controlled opposition how would it be any different

Dems did their typical rotating villain bullshit and 99% of liberals will have forgotten about it by next week. There's no fixing this.

I think it’d be corking if the debate about reopening the government centered that government invading and abducting its people in Chicago, LA, Portland and elsewhere. This is something I’d expect an opposition leader to do especially when these horrors are not reaching a lot of the country

it’s so baked into American civil engagement that we don’t really question how insane it is that we have to flood phones and emails just to get Democrats to act along their own party lines, much less for more radical action or policy

In “watching a movie long after release” news, after seeing both Sinners & Furiosa on my flight home a few weeks ago, I finally watched Fury Road last night, only ten years late — great movie

I like writing and i like drawing and the idea of letting some online tool do that for me is gross.

#StarWarsBlackSeries #ActionFigure #DoctorAphra Oi! @magnatolvan.bsky.social & @darthcharmant.bsky.social looky at what came in! Doctor Aphra, now they need to release a Magna Tolvan figure in both 1/12 and 1/18th scales.

Socialism or barbarism and we’ve made our choice

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

This is why I always talk about the administrations’ role in the genocide as a continuity. What Trump is doing now, however much “worse” you think it is than under Biden, is not possible without 16 months of genocide under the previous administration

Every “Genocide Joe” and “Holocaust Harris” is deserved

Abolish Border Patrol.

DON’T LOOK AWAY. This is domestic terror.

They're going to the highest court in the land to avoid feeding children.

Had a couple of nice musical moments w my nephews yesterday 1. The 7 y/o and I sang Saja Boys’ “Your Idol” from KPDH on the walk home 2. Then my 3 y/o nephew announced he had both “the touch” & “the power” as he turned the tide of the combination tag+playfighting game he & his brother had at home

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position

This account also feels in line with some of what other people that have been in Broadview have shared.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows. Does this sound familiar? Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

How do we know they were "posing" as ICE agents as opposed to just ICE agents committing crimes––something we're seeing captured on video on a daily basis?

Throughout the Gaza genocide, testimonies have documented the Israeli army’s use of Palestinian women as human shields. These are not isolated acts by rogue soldiers but a systematic practice known to Israeli commanders and acknowledged by soldiers. mondoweiss.net/2025/10/pale...

There’s outrage in Israel over the leaked video of Israeli soldiers gang-raping a Palestinian prisoner. However, the outrage isn’t about the rape itself but the fact that the video was leaked in the first place. mondoweiss.net/2025/11/outr... #Palestine #Israel

historically bad career, one of the worst opposition politicians to ever live. an American imperial water carrier to the very end
