Just as liberals consistently end up siding with fascists to crush anarchists and preserve the state, the gender reactionaries consistently side with the foulest of misogynists and fascists to preserve the patriarchal ontology of sex. Both have a vested interest in beating the belief into everyone that patriarchy is natural, so foundational is that premise to both of their projects. From this perspective anything that might actually attack or undermine the state/patriarchy is a ghastly threat. It’s akin to rejecting the toppling of the racist police state because without the police state how would we have affirmative action?

It would be cool to have a legislature that acted to defend its own constitutional prerogatives and, maybe as a treat, the interests of the people it represents too.

Congressional leadership of both parties should bring every member of Congress back into session today to vote on legislation to stop this war.

I think if I'd gotten away with attempting a coup, suffered no consequences for it, then won an election four years later, got away with executing citizens in the streets and foreigners in boats, and successfully abducted a head of state, I too might think I could just bomb my way to regime change

The American people now see Trump for who he is — a would-be dictator who does not care what Americans think or want, cares nothing about our Constitution or our laws, and sees himself as a kind of eighteenth-century king, with unlimited power to drag us into wars without the consent of the people.

Trump has launched an illegal regime change war.

As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions and push the region further into chaos.

When we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction.

Exclusive: Read the draft executive emergency order for Trump to take control of elections Lawyers and legal experts explicitly said that such an order is blatantly unconstitutional.

The People have spoken.

Love is still the most powerful force on the planet.

This clip should be in every Dem campaign ad until the day he’s gone and the media is barely talking about it.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

This dude @rokhanna.bsky.social is out here making sense

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Along with leaving no room for shame when it comes to medication and therapy, we also want there to be not an ounce of shame or stigma for those who do struggle. You are not failing at existing; you are not weak for struggling. https://twloha.com/blog/wintering-seasonal-affective/

The commander in chief telling troops who they have to vote for is itself a presidency ending impeachable scandal.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

AOC: "Extreme level of wealth inequality leads to social instability and drives authoritarianism, right-wing populism, and really dangerous domestic internal politics. That is a direct outcome of the failure of democracies over decades to deliver."

Remember when it was 2024 and everyone said the SAVE act had “no path forward” and didn’t care because Biden was in office? Now it’s 2026 and it just passed the house. It’s giving “Roe v Wade will never be overturned.” Call your Senators.

Yeah…DON’T!

I read the Trump-backed voter suppression bill, the so-called “Save America Act,” so you don’t have to. Here’s my summary. Please tell your Senators to vote NO on this abomination: 202-224-3121. TY. 1/

During a congressional visit, Congressman Joaquin Castro discovered that babies as young as two months old are being held at the Dilley, Texas Family Concentration Camp. (February 10, 2026)

Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."

Green Day performs "American Idiot" at the 60th Super Bowl.

The people who are saying they didn't know Green Day was political clearly know nothing about Green Day.

Smart people have already written about the many problems of generative AI better than I could, but I’ll tell you this about the thing I know: writing is about writing. It’s an action. A verb. It’s what we do. I write, you write, they write. Skip that and you’re not a writer.

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, you up?

Only about 8% of Americans agree with the current book ban movement.

Book bans are a losing issue.

ICE isn’t out of Minnesota. Enforcement hasn’t stopped; in many places it’s intensified. What changed wasn’t the raids, it was the coverage. As pressure grew, cameras shifted and Democrats redirected the conversation. But ICE activity in Minnesota is still very real & ongoing. #FuckICE #AbolishICE

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.

But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.
