Tom Adamson

He hates American values and principles. He hates democracy. He despises the Constitution and its constraints. He hates most Americans. All he desires is money, power and staying out of jail. Am I missing something?

Cartoon of a single-detached housing subdivision with a road jammed with cars

Hey, remember when car and oil companies successfully lobbied governments to create car dependent cities and suburbs, and once we became almost completely car dependent, WE became the loudest, angriest champions of unhindered road space for cars, unnaturally cheap gas, and subsidized free parking?

Inside the Improbable, Audacious and (So Far) Unstoppable Rise of Zohran Mamdani

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

YouTube video by LastWeekTonight Bari Weiss: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO)

one of my takeaways from this great piece is that weiss just doesn’t…sound like an intelligent person? or at least, not someone who has thought even a little bit about how and why they think the things that they do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gieT...

Anyone yelling "communist" at someone who believes socialist policies can coexist in a capitalist world shouldn't be taken seriously as a person.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.

Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Are yall ever just sitting around and out of the blue you remember — again — that all of this is because of ONE Black President?!!

Just the one!!

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

I never want to see another human trot across a crosswalk, hurry their stroller/kids/mobility device or rush a senior resident through an intersection or any road. It’s ridiculous, like we’ve been gifted some incredible act of patience and kindness from our auto overlords.

The idea of running anti-abortion Democrats is sickening to me. That means killing women! That is what that means!

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

Thank you to my colleagues for having my back and not furthering lies on the House floor.

Appreciate them safeguarding first amendment protections and the usage of the censure.

Finally some sanity in the House.

We are ALL "antifa". Everyone who isn't a MAGA fascist and who opposes fascism in thoughts and deeds is "antifa". Every Democrat. Every opponent. Every non-American who decries the descent into US dictatorship.

I'm "anti-fascist". You're probably "anti-fascist".

Are we terrorists? Of course not.

Well said!

When Charlie Kirk, who put together lists of professors he didn't like so people could target & harass them, used the phrase "free speech", he used it in the same way creationists use "teach the controversy." For Kirk, it was just another way to bludgeon the left and also to promote his propaganda.

. @msnbc.com has made a number of bad decisions in the last year. They're still the only news that doesn't make me want to smash my TV. If they start going the way of all the other networks, there'll be nothing left to watch. But Matthew Dowd only stated the obvious, and IDK why it's controversial.

Denial of an entire group’s very right to exist and participate in civil society is not just “having conversations.”

flags half mast and bottomless media hagiography for a man who spent his days tricking dim children into thinking black women are worthless

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

Minnesota lawmaker Melissa Hortman remembered as funny, savvy and 'a true leader' Friends and colleagues remembered her as grounded, kind and compassionate.

This is a Melissa Hortman appreciation account for the next 24 hours.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.

Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.

So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

I guess it was smart of the Supreme Court to release its most racist decision since Plessy on the same day it was confirmed that Trump used his signature in the place of a vagina in his pedophile love letter/birthday card.

I'll admit, I can't top that.

The abject cruelty, the displays of violence, the abusive language, the reveling in human suffering, the decimation of reality, the blatant corruption and crimes, the shredding of the safety net

It's all meant to shift how we perceive the world and normalize authoritarianism and erase human dignity
