The news is often the place people go to report non-violent, non-property crimes, especially when they are committed by a powerful person or institution. When billionaires take over mass media, they often "take cops off the beat" for things like tax evasion, workplace safety, and sexual harassment.

y'know, call me crazy, but I don't think the platform that includes:

- hide the pedophile papers
- bomb iran
- immigrant concentration camps
- masked gestapo
- hang democrats (lol jk... unless?)

is actually all that popular.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

Silicon Valley fascists have so enshittified the Internet that people are returning to media the oligarchs can't put behind a subscription gate

holy shit dude

It’s great (derogatory) that you can work very hard to find out something incredibly important, and the main response you will get is a derisive “Gee, I’m shocked.”

Somebody has to ACTUALLY DO THIS WORK! You can’t pursue justice by going “Your honor: I mean, duh.”

Meanwhile the FBI director is partying with Olympians on our dime.

also who tf benches with the rubber weights, except to make their bench look more impressive than it is

How many reports do the perverts leading this administration read per week? Not emails, not texts, but full on analytical reports from career civil servants. I'm setting the O/U at 0.25.

I was born with an em-dash in my hand, and I'll die with an em-dash in my hand.

the just keep cycling between these three deeply unpopular moves and panicking when people react negatively

fascists only ever have three moves in their arsenal:

1. make government worse
2. concentration camps
3. foreign war

USA? USA? USA?

I spent the whole gold medal game shouting “GO Robert Mueller and the rule of law!!!”

the only way to get rid of tanking is to get rid of the draft

"I took my husbands last name" sounds wrong. Cause he's still got his last name, but yours mysteriously went missing. Starting to sound like he took yours.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

three years ago all the radical centrists got convinced via group chats that if we simply threw trans people under the bus, the fascists would let us win everything else.

instead we lost everything, and also trans people got thrown under the bus

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

After decades of dem leadership pissing and moaning and fundraising about how complex an issue it is and how difficult the process is etc

Dem leadership: changing this is a difficult process, you fool. You rube. You utter infant. Give us between $5 and $50

Mamdani, wiping grease off his hands: So it turns out there's a switch on this machine that puts it into either orphan-shredding mode or free school lunch mode. Just had to flip it

We shouldn’t make it seem like bad practice, for example, to let kids read quietly in your classroom for 30m and take some notes. Classrooms could be where we teach kids to inhabit the silences reading requires—instead we turn them into another form of pressure and noise.

If you see someone being taken, get their name. GET THEIR NAME. Call out, "what's your name?" or "como te llama?" and record or write it (or both, ideally both) and then call Monarca at 612-441-2881 with the person's name.

This something I want people to understand. If you don’t get their names, they’re just gone. There’s no arrest record and the snatch-and-grabs can last seconds. People simply disappear and we can’t find out who they are or what happened to them.

A ton of people just don't care about democracy. They want the president to be their dad, and they want him to go beat up all the other kids' dads.

there's still time to get the kids vaccinated

i really think there is legit political space for running on "we are going to dismantle ICE"

There’s a direct line from ‘just asking questions about women’s sports’ to criminalizing our health care, we warned you it was coming, you said it would be fine and you just had a few more questions.

In any choice system (chart, mag, vouchers, intra-dist, open enr), schools can make staying so miserable parents “voluntarily” pull kids: think daily calls, endless mtgs, CPS threats over absences. Not valorizing zoned schools as a model of justice, but this is a persistent problem in need of remedy

It's because she doesn't know how to be the head of CBS News. Just no clue what a person in this role does. Similar to how Pete Hegseth and Sean Duffy don't know how to be cabinet secretaries.

A hallmark of this movement is people being out of their depth. It says, "expertise is unnecessary."
