Remember Thomas Jacob Sanford, the Iraq veteran who burned up a Mormon Church in September? Remember Nigel Edge, the Iraq veteran sniper who shot up a bar from his boat in Cape Fear, also in September? Keep track of how differently we speak of them than Rahmanullah Lakanwal.

Gallup poll | 11/3-11/25 President Trump approval Disapprove 60% (+6) Approve 36% (-5) news.gallup.com/poll/699221/...

Just remembering this…,

The man who called out war dead "suckers and losers" is indeed pure trash, and the fact that pretends to support the military is the most disgraceful thing ever.

Does someone have a list of all the people who promised to leave NYC so we can put them on free buses to Florida?

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.

The fascist bot is broken

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Sick fascism

Totally as expected

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Happy Monday.

Thinking about this whole "Dems need to move right on abortion to win in red states" thing. Since this spring we have been asking different variations of this RCN-ish inclusive populism message, and the results are like - blinding. There's just broad, almost overwhelming 🧵

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

I wrote abt 4 ways to reverse fascism in this: 1) 3.5% in the streets 2) Win 2026 and 2028 (least likely to succeed). 3) Peel off 4 Senators or 8 Congresspeople 4) Clean up after inevitable catastrophe (a la 2008 or 2020) youtu.be/GH7kzWO2c1s

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance However, they are weaker than they look…

Hillary Clinton referred to SOME Trump supporters as”deplorable,” and the political media had a meltdown. Trump refers to all Democrats as anti-American radical communists and “the enemy within,” and it’s no big deal. His reckless and dangerous demonization has been fully normalized.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

War-ravaged Portland

It’s like the Kardashians hooked up with the Squid Game, gave birth to a Sopranos reboot and we’re supposed to pretend it’s the West Wing.

CNN has identified at least 100 U.S. citizen children who have been separated from their parents after ICE deported them - including newborns. As a parent I cannot imagine the horror of being separated from my child, but that trauma is even more acute for the innocent children left behind.

Hundreds of people detained at the Alligator Alcatraz immigration processing center west of Miami, Florida, appear to have vanished. They have disappeared from the ICE online database, and their lawyers and families have been unable to locate them. english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...

The thing with designating a group that doesn't actually exist as a terrorist organization is that they can then say anyone they want is a part of that group.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.
