I saw a weird post by a mod on a good news type sub that said a conservative mod kicked a couple mods off and hijacked the sub. My whole feed doesn’t show my usual news/political subs. I think big changes are happening:/

I mean christ it is simply beyond time. What are they even doing over there still

Exclusive: Operation Excalibur in Los Angeles “Show of Presence” Leaks from military's LA deployment reveal Coca Cola vs. Pepsi rivalry, sweaty guardsmen, and abject failure

I've obtained a trove of leaked documents about today's federal crackdown on Los Angeles' MacArthur Park. One revelation is its codename: "Operation Excalibur"

They deemed this story newsworthy b/c the NYT & many of its elite white readers are still obsessed with race-conscious college admissions. Now after finally winning at SCOTUS anti-affirmative action folks can only attack it retroactively.

That’s why this seemed like a “story” worth risking it all.

These people are… evil. In a self-conscious, gloating way that we don’t like to imagine exists outside comic books or history’s darkest chapters.

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

I don’t think Kamala lost.

It's a lovely idea but primary the fuck out of them just to be sure

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security. 
 
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
 
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

When Eric Adams, a corrupt dirtbag centrist cop, won the primary four years ago, mainstream white media was quick to anoint him as "the future" of the Democratic party. Nate Silver said he's be the party's presidential nominee.

Mamdani wins and it's like "oh, shit, well, there's still the general."

No lies detected

Mamdani was able to campaign on issues voters care about because he only took small donations. The Democratic Party is unwilling at this point to do that, so their hands are tied by corporations and wealthy donor interests.

. @danpfeiffer.bsky.social gave me the best political advice anyone ever has. Obama won because he was prepared to lose. You have to stand for something. Zohran stood for his values and something new, and he inspired many!

This really is Congress eating its own institutional capacity to stifle any dissent to Trump. They accuse CBO of being Democrats, even though it is run by a Republican appointee.
GAO has pointed out the illegality of impoundment. DOGE tried to take over GAO, and now House Republicans want to gut it.

He’s been completely manipulated and played, and it’s starting to sink into his deeply damaged brain.

Let's go NYC!! Bring us some good news today!!!

The thread below is an example.

"The whole Tim Snyder thing, 'Do not obey in advance,' but I've seen a lot of that here [in Hollywood]."

Oscar-nominated director Ava DuVernay speaks to me about Trumpian authoritarianism, Hollywood bending the knee to him, Kristi Noem's cosplaying, & much more.

The Free Speech Administration throwing down arguably the biggest sledgehammer against free thought and association in my lifetime.

Beyond parody.

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.

The slow death of American higher education. Nobody’s going to travel to study there. The best research will no longer be done there. The best research academics will eventually leave.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Great, so Senate Democrats can come out refreshed with the hot new battle plan of trying to be watered-down polite Republicans then blaming progressives and the left when this fails to rally the Dem base, fails to pick up swing voters, and gets laughed at by GOP voters.
