We have our flaws, as a country, but we also have our strengths. Our obnoxiousness is both. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Ken Paxton has launched a snitch line to gather reports of supposed violations of Texas' transphobic bathroom policing law. Please do not abuse this snitch line. Please do not fill it with faff and nonsense. Please do not attach huge, unwieldy and irrelevant documentation to any reports.

SUPER common in tech, to the point that many white male techies firmly believe that there's a quota system in place. How women/PoC being heavily favored for techie jobs never seems to lead to more women/PoC in techie jobs does not occur to them.

For your collective delectation this holiday season: Quite possibly the silliest thing I've ever written (and definitely the most ridiculous graph I've ever made!) loreandordure.com/2025/12/16/j...

The reason you defend civil liberties is not because it is popular (it is never popular) but because if the government can deport you to a foreign gulag without trial then it doesn't matter how popular the rest of your policy platform is.

There's probably a better way to word it, but the Democratic Party's motto for 2026 and beyond should be "Reconstruction 2.0" and the first move should be a new version of the Klan Act that puts Trumpism in the cross-hairs.

Buddy, that's what we hired you to do, but you and Merrick Garland were too cowardly to prosecute the motherfucker with urgency, so here we are. Better men have committed seppuku for less.

I feel like I'm going insane. The president let loose 2 absolutely unhinged racist rants this week that sounded directly out of klan rallies and his allies clapped and laughed and everyone else was like, oh he's nuts moving on. Personally + professionally, I truly don't know how to address this.

Are we fucked? I really feel like we might be fucked.

In a district gerrymandered to fuck to be sure that a double digit shift would never happen. Lotta folks out there don't grasp what TN07 did today and how shook up the GOP is gonna be about it. They did the unthinkable there, my heart is so full.

A running theme of Trump II is cautious, level-headed, mainstream, career professional experts sounding existential alarms about how we aren't panicking nearly enough.

+1 for EFO (Edhead Nation represent!)

A better world is possible!

All I wannt is Greta Gerwig's feminist take on Ms. Pac-Man.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. Same as it ever was under American capitalism.

BREAKING: DOGE Dissolves After Successfully Stealing Confidential Information and Taxpayer Data on Every American

Attention Dems! HELL NO. *Minimum* ask is to abolish ICE and prosecute every last bastard who participated in its crimes.

First you get down on your knees Fiddle with your rosaries Bow your head with great respect and Genuflect! Genuflect! Genuflect!

The election of Donald Trump and his continued presidency is a catastrophic failure of the U.S. Constitution and our political institutions on the scale of the Civil War. We should spend the next decade reforming our laws and rules to ensure that nothing like it ever happens again.

Dems should promise not only to prosecute the Trump family for enriching themselves at the expense of the country but also to use the tools of government to seize the wealth they’ve illegally accrued during his presidential terms. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/w...

Namby/Pamby 2026 will not save democracy. We need fighters, reformers, and passionate progressives who will demand real change, real accountability, and real consequences.

Just straight-up looting taxpayer money.

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >

...bring back the humanities and make them mandatory.

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Wow! The big money news media *can* notice that Trump is shit for the economy, but it *must* be interpreted through the lens of how bad *Joe Biden* was on the economy. www.cnn.com/2025/11/11/p...

One person, one vote! ...unless they want progressive policies.

Narrator: they were not willing to come to the table.

We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

one serious problem i see that i am not clear how we solve is, probably 50% of the GOP voting base if not more is really not interested in being part of a democracy anymore. and the only alternative is guys who think democracy means finding common ground with those people

DO @democrats.senate.gov HAVE ANY IDEA HOW INCREDIBLY DEMORALIZING IT IS WATCHING THEM CAVE

Eight million people protest, Mamdani wins NY, dem sweeps in multiple places... and the Democrat see this momentum, this enthusiasm, this turning tide, and they decide to.. cave.

Imagine coming off an incredible Election Day mandate from coast to coast and going 'you know what voters want? to be completely sold out by a bunch of craven cowards too pathetic to hold the line against a bunch of fucking weirdos'

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Hey @schiff.senate.gov your voicemail is full. Anyway: as your constituent I am calling on you to stand firm and not end the shutdown absent serious Republican concessions. At a minimum, Vought must go and Hegseth must go.

The carceral state cannot be reformed and must be abolished.

…so Trump is *admitting* that Americans have shelled out $2k each on his tariffs.

what do we call a government with a permanently suspended or frozen parliament that is currently being ruled by decree through a singular executive and his unelected court

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Virginia, I am counting on you for some *OUTRAGEOUS* gerrymanders. I want to see VA redrawn so Republicans have *negative* seats.

Time for conservative pundits to head into cities to talk to some Real Americans!

Cheney, who along with W should have been in chains at The Hague, is now permanently beyond the reach of justice. My thoughts are with the families of his millions of victims.
