Hard to think of anyone less equipped for this moment than Schumer

I know there are going to be some people who say “The Democrats did their best to fight this bill”
Nah! I’m sorry but they knew about Project 2025 for a couple years and let Stupid Schumer say “I’m going to try to work with my friends on the other side of the aisle”
Fuck that! The Democrats

Trump's gonna deport Mamdani and Schumer is going to ok it as long as Trump promises to refer to him as "Mr Mamdani".

Hope Walz hits the nail on the head about “Alligator Alcatraz”.

Crockett: We have more billionaires in the United States and any other country but the total number is 83. 83 people in this country have more representation than the hundreds of thousands that are about to lose their health care as well as their snap benefits

A+

I find it outrageous as well.

At least now I understand how he bankrupted a casino

Strom Thurmond is in hell, and a black man just beat his record on the Senate floor.

America the Beautiful.

“I’m here because as powerful as he [Strom Thurmond] was, the people were more powerful.”

Senator Cory Booker, just as the clock ticked to 7:18pm.

Well done @booker.senate.gov. Well done, indeed.

🎯 Chomsky nailed it years ago. The privatization playbook of the vulture capitalists is so obvious.

YouTube video by PoliticsGirl 20 Lessons on Tyranny: by Timothy Snyder / read by John Lithgow

You have to see this.

PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

going to start calling myself a centrist and then listing all my leftist views as proof, just going to start moving the overton window by force

graphic of branching lifelines, with the path taken traced through it. past paths no longer in play are greyed out, possible future paths spread out like a network of roots in front

The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Jadzia Dax and Kor hugging: "Curzon, my beloved old friend." "I'm Jadzia now." "Jadzia, my beloved old friend!"

It's also the day for my favorite meme!

If this aging Klingon warrior can get it right, so can anyone.

Dear media,
It’s not:
“President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.”

It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.”

You’re welcome.

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Pete Buttigieg (@PeteButtigieg ). The post reads: "Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that."

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

Nancy Pelosi, Tim Ryan, Connor Lamb, and AOC on one side and John Fetterman and Chuck Schumer on the other show the new battle axis for the Democratic Party.

It’s no longer progressive vs. moderate, it’s those who know ball vs those who don’t.

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

I've started to realize that Anne Frank and her family wouldn't have been safe around a lot of people I know and loved and once respected.

That's not something you get over.

More of this, please. A LOT more of this, please.

One of the best photos I have seen in response to “why don’t you wear a suit”

If Trump refuses to follow court orders with impunity, we are no longer a constitutional democracy.
