Wouldn’t we still be fighting united if eight senate democrats hadn’t broken ranks (almost certainly with Schumer’s blessing)? Wouldn’t we be more united if Schumer had endorsed Mamdani? Why does it fall on regular people to “unite” when leadership breaks ranks?

They spent months trying to use identity politics against him, to use his identity against him, so they didn’t have to address the issues he was raising, utterly contradicting themselves.

The Trump admin has caused the longest government shutdown in American history—all so they could break the Affordable Care Act.

Working people are suffering. Enough is enough.

Fund the government.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I love the idea that we can't call it socialism because it scares people. it's like when I tell toddlers my ice cream is spicy so they won't want to eat it.

This bit in particular: what, our leaders just decided that the UN aid agency were terrorists, then replaced them with mercenaries firing machine guns at starving civilians? Everyone involved needs to be tried for war crimes then sent to prison for decades.

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks.

This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

It is up to ordinary citizens in the West to do all we can to stop one of history’s great crimes.

Italian workers have shown all of us how it can be done.

‘Riefenstahl’ Review: Hitler’s Favorite Filmmaker Revisited

“Art is the opposite of politics." So said Leni Riefenstahl.

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

Undercover With the New Alt-Right For 11 months, I pretended to be a far-right extremist. I discovered a radical youth movement trying to infiltrate the Republican Party.

The Washington Post wrongly fired Opinions columnist Karen Attiah over her social media posts. The Post not only flagrantly disregarded standard disciplinary processes, it also undermined its own mandate to be a champion of free speech.

Charlie Kirk spewed so much hatred throughout his career it was impossible to include all of it in my story. And yet the mainstream media is largely whitewashing what he said and stood for. Stop supporting them.

Shameful to see a creator fired off a book and the whole series immediately cancelled on the same day because she was glib about the murder of someone who famously said that people like her should be stoned to death.

Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”
