Trump has set up a white grievance reparations fund for insurrectionists. Fine. Fine. But now he's set the precedent for how we're going to compensate the victims of his cruelty when we get the chance. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

the Trump administration has always been objectively pro-political violence as long as it hits the "right" targets, whether it's payouts to Capitol rioters, smear campaigns against victims of ICE brutality, or this

The idea that race and partisanship would be too entangled to identify voting restrictions as racist would have seemed absurd to the authors of the 15th Amendment, given that it was itself adopted at a time of racist partisan disenfranchisement www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

White southerners have worked very hard to make it seem like they're the real Americans. Here AOC refuses to let them have the center. Indeed, she pushes them out by making it clear that *the north* has a say in what *the south* chooses to do. Trump is America southernized. We can unsouthernize it.

Liberals make a fetish of hypocrisy & when they do, a Republican laughs. Fairness is beside the point. You're not going to convince "the people" to take your side when many voters *like* inequality. The way to change that is to shame them. That means explicitly saying their *goal* is inequality.

I think liberals need to accept that we are getting closer to the original apartheid state of these United States. Liberals believe we are farther away from it, that we're never going back. We *are* going back. The next election won't stop it. We need a long term plan and the courage to act on it.

Friends, it's not going lower than 35 and the margin of error. A third of America will set themselves on fire before they change their minds.

Trump has found the floor. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

This is smart and good politics. Democrats who refuse to enjoin need to move out of the way and make room for those who will. They need to hear that constituents have zero tolerance for anything less. Put the pressure on. 🧵

Oops! Let me use his post instead. I thought it was only on Threads..

The day after the election when I said Biden should refuse to leave office, I heard all kinds of horse shit about “That’s not how we operate,” and every other out of touch with reality excuse for playing by the rules. Me, then: Fuck that. Me, now: Fuck that.

And then there is this guy...

2/2 It’s where the worst attrocities known to any living human being have all occured.

1/2 Jeffrey Epstein’s operation…and the evidence tied to it…is being guarded more aggressively than Fort Knox… because the truth behind it is darker, sicker, and more widespread than most Americans could ever imagine. If hell…is an authentic location…it’s called planet earth. I’m certain of that.

Every day another outrage (or three). Every day more reminders why Trump shoukd be removed from office. Every day more evidence that his Republican enablers must be defeated.

The thievery, the epic thievery, by a man who’s supposed to be a public servant. It’s beyond sickening.

I'm afraid you live with your head up your ass, but then again...that's your brand.

Trump issues executive orders to promote the fusion industry, he creates an Office of Fusion, prepares to deregulate it, all while Trump Media announces a merger with … you will never guess … a fusion company.

Brilliant job today by Sen. Van Hollen. Blanche can't handle the truth. He doesn't act like an Attorney General. He was Trump's criminal defense lawyer, now he's Trump's personal retribution prosecutor and grift dispenser. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

He’s never been a decent human being.

😂😂😂😂😂

It is fashionable in Georgetown to say Biden did plenty, and you ungrateful bastards were too dumb to see it, too spiteful to admit it, it wasn't "viral," etc. Those people exist. The larger problem is that Biden felt he was doing enough to restore order.

The American government right now clearly means, “we’re white and can do whatever we want”. Explain to me why I’m wrong.

The Democratic base has sent the same message in primary after primary: playing it safe won’t cut it in 2026. https://bit.ly/3Ridvyp

Donald Trump shouldn’t be allowed to get away with his nearly $1.8 billion slush fund for insurrectionists. But if he does, writes @ElieNYC, Democrats should take heed: they should do something similar to compensate the victims of Trump’s atrocities. https://bit.ly/49KHYLR

Giving out our tax dollars to pedophiles and a pedophile’s goon squad is not what a majority of sane and decent Americans want. #FuckPedoTrump

VAN HOLLEN: An individual who was pardoned by Trump went on to molest 2 children, & he tried to buy their silence by saying he would give them funds from your slush fund. Can you commit to not making that person eligible for a payout? BLANCHE: You're obviously lying V: I am reporting what he said

Walking very normal today sir. Looking very sober.

Georgia, it’s Election Day. You have the chance to send Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan to the Georgia Supreme Court. They are extraordinary leaders who will fight to protect your rights and uphold the rule of law.

“.. a reminder of the value of maintaining robust global disease surveillance and response systems — and the dire consequences of weakening them.” @opinion.bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

“There’s something healthy about insiders not being able to predict what’s about to happen,” said state Sen. Josh McLaurin, a Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor. “Record turnout means democracy is working.” #gapol www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Stephen Miller has taken to angrily vlogging in a scrunched-up MAGA hat to try to sway an election.

The White House which considers the entire "Western Hemisphere" as its backyard, appears unmoved by these threats, nor by past traumas such as the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961. The only real reason for American restraint lies in its current focus on Iran #Pinks www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

here's today's post: "the January 6 rioters are about to get millions, and We the People can go fuck ourselves" — why do we even have laws, if some shithead gets to ignore them? thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

San Diego police are going to “only talk about the victims” today and not the suspects because they are known to be neo-Nazi’s and cannot make up an invented trans person to blame. Get fucked.

Trump boasted of having "settled 8 wars, destroyed Iran nuclear threat,ended war in Gaza, bringing peace [to the Middle East] for first time in 3,000 yrs. Not a single state has paid the $1 bill required to obtain a permanent seat in such an eccentric structure #Pinks www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

And then there's this: The settlement gets sweeter for Team Trump In a newly-posted, one-page document, the Justice Dept details that it is now prohibited from pursuing tax claims against Trump or his family in the future Signed by Todd Blanche

I tortured myself by listening to some of this in the car while running an errand -- he took a series of obsequious softball questions from right-wing toadies, but then the one real journalist who asked an actual question is the one with no objectivity? Really?

One justice can be the swing vote on landmark cases. TWO new justices can TRANSFORM the Court. Jen Jordan and Miracle Rankin are both running to unseat GOP-appointed incumbents. Winning BOTH races means a Court that actually reflects Georgia's values. This is our moment. LFG!

The GOP sheriff of Buffalo has assisted ICE and has overseen many jail deaths. But he ran unopposed last year (see: boltsmag.org/erie-county-...) Zellner, the chair of the county Dems, said the sheriff was a good guy. Now Zellner is running for state Senate... & got a donation from the sheriff.

Chancellor says he no longer views US as land of opportunity amid ‘deeply polarising’ social climate

Actors Vivica A Fox, Kara Young and Mallori Johnson on subverting revenge tropes as Aleshea Harris’s play storms on to the screen

Yes, name-calling is inappropriate. (He might want to have a word with a certain orange person about that.) However, the term Christian Nationalist is a very old term and it's purely descriptive. Theocrats like Johnson should be proud. It's what they espouse every day.

These guys have been fear mongering about Sharia law for 25 years, shoe's on the other foot now crybabies

Dem cuts election denier Tina Peters' sentence in half www.rawstory.com/tina-peters-...

You trying to tell me that this ISN'T the face that could launch a thousand ships? Elon Musk certainly thinks so. Elon Musk is an idiot. He's also a South African White Nationalist:

Elon's "genius":

Lupita is & always has been fuckin’ gorgeous. Musk is & always has been a racist. He also thinks he’s a genius & that has been proven false as well. Also, Helen of Sparta’s dad was Zeus & she was born from an egg. Musk can fuck off.

The Civil War ended 161 years ago. The South lost, slavery was abolished and Black voices soon had the right to be heard as citizens and voters. This Supreme Court and numerous southern states may still try to change that--as if their Lost Cause remains righteous--but we can stop their immoral wish.

Will "gets it" this is unimaginable #EpsteinClass corruption #History
