seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

For reference. I might print this out and hang it in my house:

UNC-Chapel Hill's chancellor says the university will not sign on to a higher education compact from the Trump administration. www.wunc.org/education/20...

From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president. The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Is the shutdown over? Not yet. Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5. There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House. Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen. Stay loud. youtu.be/mdFRfeGRKfI

“[P]eople weren’t asking for better negotiating tactics. They were asking for proof that Democrats would hold the line on something. Anything.”

Traitors, all

String them up on the 14th Street Bridge. Time to rebuild this party from the ground up.

The Democratic Party needs new leadership. No more wimps.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Hey, so do you guys remember when the richest man in the world gave the Nazi salute at the President’s inauguration?

They have had 15 years to think about an alternative to Obamacare and the alternative is

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

Quite a headline.

Richest nation in human history

Why would they give up? Republicans control 28 state legislatures, both chambers of Congress, and the White House They have a 6-3 supermajority on the Supreme Court and a R appointments outnumber D appointments to other fed courts www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

i actually think killing the filibuster is the only way to restore power to the legislative branch and give voice to the people's branch again. but it's also a deeply terrifying idea to me.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

actual communism

is there a Balls Cheney

Tom Brady telling US Soccer to simply have the best player in the world

I mean come on

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

There's so many of these btw, NoVa right wingers realizing that their neighbors genuinely hate them

🤣🤣🤣

hey i've heard this one before

This is going to be so fucking fun to watch

*blinks in 2008 financial crisis*

Oh no! A bunch of candidates who speak to voters’ concerns and genuinely seem to like the place they seek to represent! The horror!

Worth mentioning, one helluva journey for Senator Ghazala Hashmi, elected in 2019 to the Virginia Senate, inspired to run for office because of Trump’s travel ban against majority Muslim countries. After tonight, she will be the 1st Muslim woman elected to to statewide office in the United States

they're calling it the worst take of all time

Guys can you imagine getting to see Andrew Cuomo eat shit and concede twice in one year. Fuck me running

Chuck Schumer, weasel, attempting to board a train that’s already left.

so it turns out that fascism is unpopular

Cuomo getting heckled by his own supporters during his concession speech is incredibly good content

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

Seeing a disgusting loser get his ass kicked all over New York City really makes me miss the Mets

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

stay tuned

Still waiting for the live cam of all the billionnaires packing up their NYC apartments to move to Ohio

AOC on CNN asked if Schumer is afraid of her: “I think REPUBLICANS are afraid of me, and they project that fear on to him” Get that woman a shield.
