First Secretary of Defense you could defeat by painting a tunnel on the side of a boulder.

I don’t think there’s any moving forward for the United States without addressing the Musk problem. badfaithtimes.com/holding-elon...

We spent a year investigating billionaires for @washingtonpost.com. We found: the wealthiest 100 Americans gave $1.1 billion to influence the 2024 elections — 140x more than they did in 2000. And almost all of that giving boosted Republicans. washingtonpost.com/politics/int...

A significant number of Congressmen and their staffs have been identified as having friendly relations with a straight up neo-Nazi outfit called the Liberty Lobby, run by a man named Willis Carto who has busts of Hitler in his office. Strangely, it seems few are all that concerned. The year is 1967.

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

Reupping: No, Trump’s murder spree on the high seas is not about drugs: presswatchers.org/2025/10/no-t...

Thinking this level of inequality is unsustainable isn’t radical, thinking it isn’t is

THIS IS AMAZING. ALSO WHAT, IF ANYTHING, DID WE FORGET TO RUIN?

Lots of “never Trumper” encomiums to Cheney today. So who was Dick Cheney? The most powerful & dangerous Vice-President in our history, leading us into an unnecessary war, violating legal & political norms, & expanding his own office and secrecy to harmful proportions. www.rcfp.org/journals/the...

Will Cuomo change the look of NY because all the women will have to hide or wear anti-groping body armor?

ANOTHER SAD REMINDER: Black women lost 319,000 jobs between February and July of this year, the only major female demographic to experience significant job losses during this five-month period. White men saw the largest job increase 一 365,000 一 among groups.

Republicans didn't give Obama or Biden credit for anything. You don't owe Trump anything. He's a reckless moron always being played by Netanyahu who will continue to occupation and destruction of the Palestinian people.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

we’ve just capitulated to the nakedly fascist government for purely pecuniary reasons, please enjoy this trailer for an upcoming film about resisting a space tyrant

there’s no real point to “dems suck” posts anymore once they hit the point of voting for charlie kirk remembrance day. That’s the end of the game and now you start over with new game plus and everything unlocked. It’s 2007 and you’re about to tell politico Hillary Clinton had slaves

This is absolutely what is happening -- as part of my work, we've been doing events across the country and people are scared and angry and worried and pissed the fuck off. Instead of reflecting that, the pundits and entrenched beltway figures have made up a guy to represent.

Hey look. It’s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office. Probably just a coincidence

Friends, listen: No one's asking you to vote for Newsom. It will take all sides to fight fascism together. Right now, Newsom is leading that charge. Next month, it might be someone else – and you should back them in our fight too. Simple stuff.

If you are interested in engaging with questions of sexuality and kinship, love and desire, the left has an incredible body of feminist, queer studies and gender studies thought to offer you. If you are interested only in “how cis straight men can get laid”, that’s not really what the left does.

" How does the president get out of this mess?" It's completely bizarre and amoral that this is the question the Washington Post talking heads are asking. Are they his lawyers? His press team?

Shout this!

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

It's common to hear that, if Dems are to win against the right, they need to shift their rhetoric regarding social policies towards the right. This is conventional wisdom for many. But I'll let you in on a little secret: There's actually quite a lot of data about whether this works, and it doesn't.

Only important news. (Rat)

Boo hoo poor Elon, he really thinks he can just walk away after all the damage he did. The world won’t rest until everything around him crashes and he ends up the poorest man in the world. There will be no forgiveness. Musk should just flee back to South Africa. #endoligarchy #teslatakedown

100% true. This is a sign of WEAKNESS from Trump and Stephen Miller. We are winning. More actions like this, Senators.

American exceptionalism is electing a pariah government so repugnant that it tanks the electoral prospects of aligned right wing governments across the entire anglosphere

There is no negotiating with fascists. Every benefit they offer is a lie. Everything they threaten you with they intended to do to you regardless. Everything you let them do to others they will eventually do to you. Against fascists there’s only uncompromising defiance and opposition.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

Not that the UK media are reporting. Massive protests against Trump across America. Please share. We need to the job of British media.

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

Now’s the time to GRANT NOTHING and COUNTERPUNCH “Well, *some* of them are gang members.” “Nope. Have not been tried in court. But Trump is a felon.” “Well there *is* a ton of waste in government.” “Nope. No McKinsey spreadsheet. But Silicon Valley is a galaxy of waste.”

It's revealing that Musk is now going on Fox to protest his firing squads are misunderstood. But it's important to focus on the core issue. Musk says they're actually using a scalpel not a hatchet. There's no gratuitous cruelty, just careful concern. They've hardly fired anyone, despite ...

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

psssst unions are so scary they took down our website with worker organizing resources sure would be a shame if we all shared this

Schumer’s book tour stop in Baltimore appears to be “postponed for security reasons.” We had a lot of momentum here for a protest. Let’s keep up the pressure.

it's Saturday, and it's time for "this week in stupid: March 15 edition" — beware the ides of stupid. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

it is grimly hilarious that, given the immense, decades-long fetishization of "leadership" and "leadership skills" in business-oriented academia and politics, even unto the formation of leadership institutes, there should turn out to be no leaders in any positions of power

NYC Monday 3/10/25 - Release Mahmoud Khalil - US Permanent Resident detained by DHS for exercising free speech
