primary every Democrat. the litmus test is anti-fascism.

*volcanically* lol 🤪

i'll make a huge scene, call them fascist collaborators, security will have to drag me out spitting fire & brimstone all the while

yeah just like that, but more intensely pissed off

the reason why? they don’t want to. they — their votes — helped create, fund, and expand the forces just as recently as last year.

everyone needs to be making explicit demands to abolish them to their reps in congress. otherwise they’ll pass a no-masks reform and call it a day

just now thinking: if i ever go to a 2026/28 Dem candidate forum & get the mic at question time, i'm going to ask them if they'll punish Trump & prosecute ICE and if they hem & haw i'll cuss them right off the stage

why won’t the democratic party pledge to abolish ICE and CBP? they can’t be reformed or redeemed

From Guardian Australia’s interview with Wayne Swan: Asked what risks Labor faced if it failed to evolve at an organisational level and with its policies, Swan was blunt. "We end up looking like the Democrats in the US or any number of once large, proud, centre-right parties around the world that have collapsed," he said.

💯 this

seriously: the 1st one is good, the 2nd seems like it was written by dudes who watched the first & totally missed the message

it's good... at giving racist jingos really bad ideas about law enforcement

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

lmao techbros love Seldon psychohistory bc it fictionally substitutes for everything Marxist dialecticism does irl without any of the pesky "ideological" baggage about class struggle or economic/material redistribution

weirdo @JackPosobiec reacts to netflix possibly buying warner bros: “They're going to make Looney Tunes gay They're going to make everything gay”

Left-wing populism: this is monopolistic behavior

Immigrants kept from Faneuil Hall citizenship ceremony as feds crackdown nationwide Trump administration is pausing naturalizations for immigrants from 19 countries.

“She showed up as scheduled, and when she arrived, officers were asking everyone what country they were from, and if they said a certain country, they were told to step out of line and that their oath ceremonies were canceled.”

this sentence alone, my goodness

I don't think Netflix should get to eat anything else until it finishes all the prematurely cancelled shows on its plate

Great reporting and a knockout final line:

“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”

OPINION George Soros wrecked American criminal justice — one leftist DA at a time By Josh Appel Published Dec. 4, 2025, 7:20 p.m. ET 729 Comments George Soros attends the Joseph A. Schumpeter award ceremony in Vienna, Austria. AP

The New York Post and Manhattan Institute teaming up to publish literally the same op-ed every three months for a decade encapsulates these folks perfectly.

There is an intense pro-enforcing laws turn on the left, and it's good. The Third Reconstruction will require a strong hand and an iron will and a heart hardened against the screeching of fascist traitors that they deserve mercy.

It was a giant miscalculation by the people around Biden to simply ignore DJT and try to move on.

IMO People voted for Biden to have DJT held accountable for his actual, verifiable crimes.

They didnt show back up in 2024 because DOJ didnt deliver.

This is also the failure of the Biden administration, which actively wanted to 'reach across the aisle' and let a lot of shit...just slide.

And Merrick Garland. Especially Merrick fucking Garland.

Also the wheels of justice and the courts move slow

Anyhoo they think they won't be punished period

Legitimacy is not a substance. Legitimation is a process. Things become illegitimate because you treat them as such.

During the Bush-Cheney era enthusiasm for getting rid of trials, much less fair trials, for anyone the US called "terrorists", I kept on having to argue that trials weren't a gift that weak people granted to the accused, but a restraint civilized people put upon themselves so as not to be horrible.
