This is INCREDIBLE. An informed electorate making its opinions known. Beautiful.

When this is over, and we emerge from the darkness, the cowardice of Big Law shall not be forgotten.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

If Trump tries to run for a third term I say the Dems should run Barack Obama.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

In addition to his corrupt initiation of mid-decade gerrymandering in multiple states, Trump continues to gear up to use DOJ, the US military, and local Republican authorities to rig the midterms.

Seeing Trump 2.0 as strictly a fascist narrative (and look at my handle, right?) sidesteps the neo-confederate impulses undergirding Trumpism. The Old South finally has their Jefferson Davis in charge of the whole Republic.

Emphasis on the stupid part which explains his rise back to power in the first place.

All the way back to Ida B. Wells.

It has been said before, but it bears repeating: the elderly who’ve worked their entire lives to get $800 a month on Social Security aren’t bankrupting America. It’s tax-evading billionaires like Trump who are bleeding this country dry.

I’m genuflecting at the hip.

And I thought he was in the party of “F*** your feelings.” What a snowflake.

Elections: An Action Plan for Voters (Focus on Voter Registration & Turnout in 2025) October 10, 2025

If you want to cut the legs out from under Trump, there are HUNDREDS of state & local govt. elections between now & Dec. 30. An overwhelming turnout of pro-democracy forces can inflict staggering losses on Republican candidates! See my Substack for extensive election details! GET OUT THE VOTE!

As a reminder, when Biden announced student loan forgiveness—based upon a statute passed by Congress which explicitly said the President could do exactly that—Douthat called it "semi-Caesarist" because it was done "without consulting Congress."

I still say anyone who wants to defend a Confederate statute should be forced to read the original dedication speeches to tell us all what “heritage” they’re celebrating.

Here’s one from my college:

OFA Media is in Portland, OR. 5h・ BREAKING: My team has removed and recovered 15-20 fliers of @icegov agents being doxed around Portland, Oregon. Fliers include full names, addresses, and images of ICE agents. This is what the media WON'T show you. Disgusting. Bring in the troops. BREAKING: We recovered 15-20 fliers in Portland of ICE agents' names, address, photos @DAVIDMEDINAPDX LIKEISAID, WECAN'T SHOW YOU THIS

Joe McCarthy would be so proud. A J6er now working as a lead MAGA influencer in Oregon says his “team” found flyers in Portland doxxing ICE agents but he can’t show them to you…

As Millions March Against Fascism, NYT Warns Against Progressives Two days after massive pro-democracy marches, the New York Times published a forceful message of its own—not against fascism, but against progressivism.

The @nytimes.com sees its role as establishing the ideological boundaries of the Democratic Party, most notably by drawing the line in the sand on the left that the Democrats must not cross.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

And an original chant to top it all off! Excellent organization, friends.

Show me the warrant or get out!

Those are the only words any of us need to know.

Wells Fargo scammed millions of people by opening fake accounts. The Trump Administration just reduced a former Wells Fargo exec's $10 million fine to $0.

Trump is making life more affordable for Wall Street executives — and more expensive for everyone else.

Yes, but let’s call it the Turd Reich anyway.

In a sane world it will also lead to war crimes trials.

I hope the ICC is saving this video as evidence.

Wake me when it’s dismissed.
