everyone wants socialism until theyre told its “socialism”

Ilhan Omar rose from a single parent immigrant family where her dad drove a taxi to her current position. Trump is the kid of a racist wealthy slum landlord who headed multiple failed businesses. One of these people is the example of failed ambition and it's not her.
What a racist piece of shit.

the woman using the r-word in this clip, Laura Ndirangu, is now interviewing for a position on the school board in Forest Lake, Minnesota

It’s amazing that after 15 years, the GOP is FINALLY coalescing around a healthcare plan of sorts and it essentially amounts to “fuck it, you do it.”

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Trump want to make a one time payment of 400 bucks, then cancel your insurance. You can use that money to make a downpayment on your coffin.

The Democrats are cracking like dogs on the Shutdown because they are deathly afraid that I am making progress with the Republicans on TERMINATING THE FILIBUSTER! Whether we make a Deal or not, THE REPUBLICANS MUST “BLOW UP” THE FILIBUSTER, AND APPROVE HUNDREDS OF LONG SOUGHT, BUT NEVER GOTTEN, POLICY WINS LIKE, AS JUST A SMALL EXAMPLE, VOTER ID (IDENTIFICATION). Only a LOSER would not agree to doing this!

still hasn't figured out what dogs do

zohran yelling at tom homan earlier this year

“tom homan is a bitch” is a winning message

“You kill people and break things for a living” is one of the most insane sentences I’ve ever heard

Pete Hegseth accidentally flipping a skateboard into his nuts on live TV

“Is political violence who we are?”

This many months into military invasions of multiple cities to terrorize Black, Brown and Asian folks

Mark Kelly: "Elections have consequences and that's okay. But we gotta be really careful with how we speak about our political opponents. When things get out of hand, it's up to us to just take a step back and think, what are the consequences of what we say?"

yep! unpaywalled:

Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

Fight the Empire.

I read for escapism and the fact of the matter is every day that passes in America makes dystopias seem more like non-fiction.

Hey, if the media is interested in a cover-up of a senile president who's not really in control of his White House, there's one going on right now?

tl;dr

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

It has become increasingly clear that student debt was never meant to be paid off. It was intended to create a generation(s) of indentured servants whose entire lives and anything they ever attempt to own automatically become property of the capitalist state.

I think it’s worth noting it is utterly VITAL this dead child’s mother cling to her anti-vax beliefs. Because otherwise, if she accepts the fact that vaccinations save lives, that also requires her to accept personal responsibility for the needless death of her child.

She can’t do that.

Auchincloss: "Republicans are not stepping up and saying the very basic sentence of 'Ukraine is right, Russia is wrong.'"

Auchincloss to Rep. Tony Gonzalez after Gonzalez touts the popularity of DOGE: "Is it popular to cut healthcare for the 40% of kids in this country who rely on Medicaid to pay for tax cuts for people who don't need tax cuts?

In case you forgot how much of the new Republican brand leans into homo-eroticism …

Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.

Traitor Trump will spend the entire night trying to spin his disastrous Oval Office ambush stunt into a political win.

Zelenskyy is a war hero.

Trump is an all-time zero.

Remember: Not everyone drinks alcohol & absolutely zero ppl owe you an explanation for why they don’t. If you’re hanging out w/folks make room for people who don’t drink, make sure alternatives are available, & there’s never a reason to call attention to their use. A little respect goes a long way.

Being a man doesn’t equal treating women like trash.
