LBJ Again

If you want good public goods, you want to pay the workers and administrators well.

My old labor history professor went to Brown. I don't think I need to elaborate on the politics of someone who wrote their dissertation on US labor and industrial history.

Class solidarity with the woman who inherited her father's construction company.

This kind of person might be dumber than bog standard maga. I mean, 1) she's bourgeoisie 2) the ivy educated suburbanite is practically the archetype of a person likely to support ACA subsidies.

at this point you have to acknowledge that there is no way that these guys don't try to mess with the 2026 midterms. there is absolutely no respect for the legitimacy of the opposition

the trump administration attempted to assassinate a critic and when she lived, they prosecuted her for surviving

GOP busted using South American riot pics to justify Oregon troops: 'We're bad memers' The Oregon Republican Party is facing backlash after it shared a social media post about a planned military deployment in Portland using a fabricated image composed of photographs from South America.T...

The image they shared showed riot police and a crowd with flares and red smoke, designed to support Trump's claim that Portland's protests were out of control, but was actually a digital composite of two unrelated photographs from different South American countries.

There's no way to plausibly act like Paramount would be handing CBS News to Bari Weiss if Trump wasn't in power, and they're barely bothering to pretend otherwise.

Yeah, some people are just constitutionally shit, and she's one.

I'm just being a fatalist, but I mean the people who want to fictionalize and destroy America.

They're winning

My position is that it should be harder to become a cop and cops should get higher pay, but also minimum sentences for lying about this stuff. Like these cops should get 20 years just for the lie.

Illinois sues the Trump administration over National Guard deployment to Chicago A judge declined to immediately block the administration's efforts and scheduled a hearing for this week.

Same thing happened in LA, same thing happened in DC: prosecutors charged people with assaulting a federal officer and then furiously backpedaled when the evidence didn’t support it

This really makes it sound like a Border Patrol agent tried to kill an anti-ICE activist in Chicago and DHS lied to cover for him

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

Attorney for woman shot by Border Patrol claims officer said 'Do something b-----' before shooting Body-camera video appears to contradict the government's claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

Yeah my dad had an insane collection of records, cassettes, and CDs of albums from the 40s-70s. I didn't like a lot of it at the time (was pretty lukewarm on his country and jazz), but looking back as an adult, he really had good taste.

Yeah that's killing me. The most annoying people in the world right now are Republicans followed by dirt bag leftists who hate democrats more than they hate Republicans. What are we doing here talking about annoying dems?

Yeah, I was in elementary school in the 90s in suburbia, northeast Ohio. I remember some kids adopting it as an aesthetic and they were uniformly obnoxious. But until then, my experience with country was mostly Parton, Cash, and Nelson and I didn't hate it.

There is simply no way he would accept a text interview with Biden

Democratic self-loathing needs to stop too.

Yeah it was trending in a bad way before 9/11 for sure. But I think 9/11 did kill it officially.

I know this might be cringe but if you know any cops in your life, (family, friends, neighbors, or acquaintances) you should be talking to them about what’s going on now.

as we skirt ever closer to the precipice, ensuring domestic law enforcement sides with us over the fascists will be important

Everyone is on a razor's edge.

Me every morning when I check the news

That's why she should issue the TRO. That's exactly why it's there.

Our institutions will not save us. They will just punt.

He had Trump send a dick pic to confirm it was him.

My one friend and I were losing it while watching his funeral and see how little they actually gave a shit about him. They actually somehow cared less about his death than the most vile dirt bag leftist.
