Supreme Court rejects long-shot effort to overturn same-sex marriage ruling The court turned away an appeal filed by Kim Davis, a former county clerk in Kentucky who was sued after refusing to issue a marriage license to a gay couple.

Maybe now this hateful shrew can use her time more productively - like arranging a fifth marriage for herself.

A vile country isn't a country that can't feed its children, a vile country is a country that *won't* feed its children.

I will not be voting to or ANY establishment Democrats where they are primaried, this is too typical!

Elon is only a trillionaire because poor people let him be. We could eliminate billionaires tomorrow, if we organized and fought

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

I was taught this, and thusly taught that capitalism was the best system to manage greed. But I no longer believe greed is a guiding principle. I think it is aberrant and should be treated as such. We could organize around the goodness in people and build a better world!!!

If you have to accept that greed is human nature and we should organise around it, you also have to accept that people begging for food wanting to set fire to trillionaires is also human nature.

For the record, I trust Mamdani’s Muslim faith more than Mike Johnson’s Christianity.

involved, not in evolved

Actually, historically women led countries are in evolved in just as many wars…

Community matters so much right now. For optics and for solidarity in the face of institutionalized cruelty.

Still thinking about Zohran’s full-throated defense of immigration and how long i’ve waited for it. No bullshit about border security or “legal” immigrants but just unabashed support for immigrants. How many people feel so much more seen today? I know I do. 1/

This is what a New Era looks like.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Folks, saying ABOLISH ICE isn't hard. Quite easy. The water is warm here. Jump in. Mainstream it. People will follow.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

never. only Democrats must avoid at all costs offending any red state right wing extremist who would never vote for them anyway.

Im not going to say that there are not huge issues with the two party, but multi party systems are not exactly a bulwark against horrible governments or authoritarian leaders either.

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist

Mayor Mamdani

As the two leading causes of crime are poverty and white supremacy continuo g to find ways to criminalize non whiteness, we could see a major drop in crime if he is allowed to keep his promises!

Thank you! ill be at ModPo year 'round

Anthony, you know I’ll follow you anywhere!

If you haven't read Homeland by Richard Beck, I HIGHLY recommend it today. I recommend it every day but as I go to the polls to vote for a Muslim mayoral candidate and decline to pour one out for a dead homie, today is an especially good day for it

THIS!!!

Never fear, ModPo is ALWAYS here! stick around for SloPo and the continuing forum threads!

Domino Sugar plant as reflected in the water, about 30 minutes before sunrise. OK, so — this is the third year I have participated in Contemporary Modern Poetry, a MOOC offered free through Coursera and available year-round via ModPo.org. It has changed my life. It has changed my brain. It has changed me as a teacher. It has changed me as a person. (All for the better, I think.)

Good morning, Bluesky.
