I'm really tired of hacks who work at think tanks where every board member is a Wall Street exec saying "We need to get back to kitchen table issues" when they lobby against any robust policy to support unions and address the affordability crisis everyday people face.

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund.

The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

There just aren't words for the depravity of this administration.

Well, she’s not lying….

The best lawyers

Did a fighter jet write this?

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

This needs to be quoted in every @democrats.org campaign ad for the next few years.

This is not only amazingly racist but deeply anti-Christian. Fuck this shit.

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

I saw Jane Goodall do a talk in my hometown as a kid and she greeted the crowd with "good evening, or as the chimpanzees say, ooo ooo AAAHH AHHHH AHHHH OOOO AHHH OOOO OOOOOOO AHHHH" and everybody stood up and applauded. Swear to God.

Yes, that’s certainly an, umm, revision

Also that great black mirror episode where the guy is forced onto a site like this to help pay for his wife's brain implant.

I obviously wish Harris won because of how horrible Trump has been. But I wonder if her administration would have been like Starmer's. She was listening to the same kinds of voices. Starmer is enacting the Third Way/popularism strategy. He has overly conservative policies and is also very unpopular!

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

the dem consulting class will end up saying something moronic about how Dems need a rebrand. They don’t need a rebrand; they need senior leadership to resign and be replaced

My son (12) asked me yesterday if it was true that Harris wanted to force everyone to build and use "trans bathrooms"

The problem is not Democratic policy platforms.

This is the darkest fucking timeline.

It rocks that this sort of thing is just playing with the sound on in every waiting room in the country once you get 50 miles outside a major city. Two people with stuffed animal eyes shaking their heads sadly over footage of the president being inconvenienced briefly.

Remember that the Trump Administration demands you idolize these agents and not condemn them.

But they’re Gestapo trash.

Pritzer gets the mechanics of authoritarianism – systemic intimidation, seizing control of elections, etc. – in a way others in national democratic leadership don't or won't say out loud.

A very, very stupid man.

Today, the president of the United States of America said that the country's current pediatric vaccine schedule was "too much liquid... going into that baby" and then issued a decree announcing that anti-fascism is terrorism

Prof Mike Yearworth @mikeyearworth.bsky.social Follow "In a landmark study, OpenAl researchers reveal that large language models will always produce plausible but false outputs, even with perfect data, due to fundamental statistical and computational limits."

lol, lmao even

Its truly amazing to see such an unprincipled party who will do anything to win also be absolutely allergic to winning.

He's too dumb to not make this blazingly obvious to even the most checked-out median voter

imo "violence aimed at elites from non-elites" is the category of violence most disfavored in elite discourse. and violence that flows from elites to non-elites is not conceived of as violence at all. and these ideas frame the entire elite conception of who charlie kirk was and what his murder means
