Every American who wore the uniform from Valley Forge to now took an oath against tyranny, making them textbook antifascists. The military's entire purpose is defending democracy from authoritarianism. Declaring antifa "domestic terrorism" means our founding principle is now a prosecutable offense.

So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

Since we can’t ever expect Mike Johnson to do the right thing, we’re forcing a vote on extending ACA tax credits. And we only need four more members to sign the petition to make it happen.

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.
He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.
His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Congratulations to Justin Crosby (D) on his election victory in Mississippi CD22 — he flipped the newly redrawn seat by defeating the incumbent with approximately 53 % of the vote.
This win is part of a broader shift after court-ordered map revisions aimed at increasing majority-Black districts.

The USA has followed rules of war from day #1. George Washington, for instance, treated British prisoners well, something the British quite often didn't reciprocate. Just because they were revolutionaries didn't make them barbarians. It's easier to fight if you believe you are the good guys.

the economy is understimulated because people aren't buying things
to counter this, we should stimulate the economy with stimulus checks
in order to bring stability, we should keep doing it consistently, perhaps every month, for every person, universally

Even the basic mechanics of daily journalism are corrupted by the nyt leaders and their elitist bias. It’s a no brainer to credit someone who broke a story before you. That they don’t credit an independent journalist for a scoop reflects an overall disregard for facts that don’t fit their worldview

The problem with this is that they're both elected officials with real power that they refuse to use on behalf of workers, so they engage in performative solidarity instead of living up to their half of the inside-outside strategy.

Here is my peace plan for Ukraine/Russia.
1. Russia gets the fuck out of Ukraine.
2. Putin goes on trial in the Hague.
3. Russia pays everyone for everything.
4. Trump gets impeached, convicted, and sent to jail.
Thanks for your attention to this matter.
