From the outside it might look like ICE officers wear masks to avoid accountability, but in reality they are a way to avoid accountability.

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

This isn't an improvement. The legislature's map (their attempt to respond to a prior ruling) was a classic dummymander, it had an R+1 and an R+6 seat and Dems were very likely to pick up both next year. Now they get one packed D+24 safe seat.

This takes a likely 2-2 map and makes it 3-1.

The Dem Establishment's problem is that they can't stop having these moments. This comes right after refusing to side with Mamdani against Cuomo until the last moment (or never, even after the Trump endorsement, if you're Schumer!), which comes after voting en masse for all sorts of horrid noms...

screen grab of Sun Sport artilce about IOC ban for trans women including a picture of Cisgender Boxer Imame Khelife

Nothing illustrates the arseholery of the IOC and the British Press more than the use of the image of a not-Trans woman to illustrate a story about trans women being banned (because there are no current trans women competing at this level)

Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons and Dragons to Be Racist The fantastical roots of “scientific racism”

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Republicans constantly attack their Congressional leadership, and they remove leaders who fail to achieve the objectives desired by the base.

This 'infighting' hasn't been a 'distraction' or 'weakness' for them, it has produced victory after victory, including control of all three branches.

Our ancient texts have been forgotten by the community

I do think this is a point of radicalization because a lot of angry, angry normal people were ready to dig in and suffer a lot in order to make fascists suffer a little, and their resolution was sold out and made into a mockery

I think voters at large will very likely have trouble remembering details of chuck schumer selling out the aca by nov 2026. also I think in the next three months you're gonna see a lot of unlikely folks stopping by the dsa table at various no kings events

ANALYSIS | Pride flags, fluoride, abortion: Here's what UCP will push Danielle Smith to change next | CBC News Alberta's premier likes to fulfil her party members' policy wishes. But do these ones coming to convention go too far?

woof, man, at this point Alberta is quickly becoming a containment zone

www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

By using s33 pre-emptively, the UCP is not simply admitting that their laws are breaching Charter rights. (Governments have done that before.)

By foregoing judicial review, they are further admitting that their laws cannot be justified in a democratic society.

You can already see it coming; the Democratic establishment won’t have the courage to hold the Trump criminals accountable.

"Although young trans people were most frequently and viciously targeted by Trump, the report found that “transgender youth under 20 were quoted in just 6% of articles.

Who did msm corporate media turn to? Trump, a member of his administration, or other Republicans were quoted in 50% of articles"

Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Anytime I mention this story theres a few dozen people who never heard about it, so for those unaware

You ever call a senator's office and ask the staffer who picks up what it's like to work for someone without a spine?

10/10 recommend.

The Miracle Mile Shopping Center in Chicago, once considered our Nation’s BEST, now has a more than 28% vacancy factor, and is ready to call it quits unless something is done about the murder and crime, which is prevalent throughout the City. CALL IN THE TROOPS, FAST, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! “Just the News”

Call in the troops to solve the commercial real estate crisis in our swanky downtown cores

You can’t make this shit up, folks

Every current or former Chicagoan is saying, “It’s the MAGNIFICENT Mile, dummy.” 🤡

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

Sheesh

this is racist as shit

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

Democracy kinda depends on voters hearing accurate facts and analysis more than they hear made up nonsense, and that’s kinda sort of an issue

The "don't talk about social issues" strategy only works if you *admit that was your strategy after the fact*. We're in this doom loop where Democrats try something, gaslight themselves into believing they didn't try it, then decide to try it again.

Yes. There is a near-unanimous bipartisan conventional wisdom about the Democrats becoming 'too woke' even though — again, objectively — they avoided prioritizing social issues in the 2024 campaign.

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

I know, everybody should leave X, but I think an exception should be made solely for Joyce Carol Oates so she can keep wounding Musk's withered soul on his own site and he can't do a thing about it.
