Authoritarianism can only succeed when democracy fails to deliver for working people.

Authoritarian parties can only succeed when the pro-democracy parties fail to fight for working people.

We need a new democracy and a new party system which can represent working people.

This Veterans Day, I’m thinking of the millions of Americans who have served in uniform — and how our government is failing them right now.

Words aren’t enough, we need actions. Fund the VA. Fund mental healthcare. And end endless wars.

Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Opinion | Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t Either.

The World’s Deadliest Addiction Is Popping Up on Brain Scans. And It’s Not Even a Drug. There’s a reason our culture is so obsessed with revenge, and it starts in the brain.

How do we survive the next 3 years with a president that is pathologically obsessed w/ inflicting revenge on the left & everything he associates with it? He's transmitting it like a disease to people who now run on revenge rage against people they've never even spoken to. We need a miracle.

Molly Ivins, dressed in a sort of satin blouse with a neckthing that I'm going to call a scarf?. She's smiling with every cell in her body. Beaming radiantly the joy of being righteous and kind at the same time. Her eyes closed almost to a squint, and every pearly white on display. Gods bless you, Molly, you were a hell of a person.

My favorite evergreen Molly Ivins quote:
"I prefer someone who burns the flag and then wraps themselves up in the Constitution over someone who burns the Constitution and then wraps themselves up in the flag."

Temu Matt Walsh isn't the only a-hole preaching this horseshit. Charlie Kirk is being paid millions to indoctrinate young people into believing this brutally misogynistic dogma. Another reason there has to be a well-financed and unified mass movement to counter the rise of Christofascism.

Lawyers representing Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s victims—several of whom “have already died by suicide, drug overdose, or under tragic circumstances tied directly to the trauma”—tell Judge Berman the women “are, at best, an afterthought” to the Trump administration

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases.

Anyone upset about this should consider the following:

If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

“I represent 67,000 pediatricians, and let me be clear: this bill will devastate children’s health,” said Dr. Susan Kressly, President of @ameracadpeds.bsky.social “Kids are 22% of our population—but 100% of our future. We cannot afford to fail them.”
Call your senators and demand a NO vote.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.

you’re telling me republicans are now going to call democrats communists since zohran won? they’ve never done that before it might be over

This man is just being allowed to once again thrive? What the *#%^?!

You are gay. And it's okay.

Live your authentic life & maybe you'll stop being obsessed with kids who are brave & supported enough to be themselves.

Ya'll are so triggered all the damn time because of your envy & self hatred.

It really is incredible how malignant narcissists everywhere cling fast to financial abuse as a coercive tool. When will we learn to stop putting ourselves & our children in their path?

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird
