Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Justice JACKSON standing up for voting rights. 🔥

Louisiana: Plaintiffs said 'we want another majority-black district.'

Jackson: No. They said 'we aren't receiving equal electoral opportunity because our votes are being diluted.'

Louisiana: Same thing.

Jackson: No, it’s not.

Biden also got a cease fire and helped release well over 100 hostages . I didn’t hear him whining about getting a Nobel Peace Prize .

Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

we’ll see how his mayoral tenure shakes out but i am convinced that Mamdani has the juice. not just the charisma to win an election but the temperament to govern and the measured pragmatism of someone who genuinely believes what they’re saying and wants to accomplish real things.

Imagine making six figures to not do anything you were entrusted to do.

…getting paid to not work while thousands of civil servants around you were getting fired.

…betraying those who counted on you to represent them, all to appease a wannabe dictator.

The GOP Congress is a helluva thing.

"some of these rich legislators are Democrats...But not a single Democrat voted in July for the $4.5 trillion in tax cuts contained in President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful” reconciliation bill. The only legislators who voted themselves tax cuts were Republican:"

The House Republicans Getting Rich Off Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

Why is it taboo for Congress to give itself a tiny raise but fine for it to give itself a huge tax cut?

I don’t understand why we need a “Columbus Day” when this country celebrates incompetent white men failing up and taking what isn’t theirs all year round.

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

In case anyone was wondering, “Give us your land or we will bomb you and take it” is not a peace deal; it’s extortion by artillery. A peace deal requires consent.

Mamdani volunteers out and about on a rainy day in my neighborhood today. Simply the best organized local campaign I’ve seen in my lifetime.

The political party that doesn’t *beg* this campaign for help and guidance nationally just isn’t very interested in winning.
