While "peace" negotiations continue, remember that Russia could simply stop the war at any time.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.

If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.

It’s that simple.

There is an extraordinary sense of entitlement behind the belief that there ought to be political party that aligns 100% with your own opinions.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

It’s weird that some people who were so loud about Mamdani being the model of resistance don’t appear to have the slightest unease over his meeting in the Oval the very week Trump called for Dems to be hanged.

All I’m asking for is a little consistency at how you act towards your faves & others doing the exact same behavior or fluffery in order to keep federal funding as part of their basic job duties, whether a shitty picture comes out later or the ass-kissing is nauseating without one.

Although it’s horribly unfair to the survivors of the abuse, I wish they release their list and blow the lid off everything. This administration won’t do shit.

I’m not asking this to be an ass, but I don’t get why Gretchen Whitmer was excoriated for meeting with Trump in the Oval Office but it’s cool for Mamdani to do so. Why is it different.

Ugh. Panel on @11thhourmsnow.bsky.social locating about the GOP’s “working class base.” I’m so tired of the assumption that only white people are working class. The media just avoids meaningful racial discussion in electoral politics.

If Joe Biden had an MRI a month ago and we had no idea why it was done or on what body part and he claimed he had no idea about either of those things it would literally be all you heard about in the press but Trump just gets a huge pass b/c reporters treat him differently.

Just had to turn off MSNBC again. They’re still high as a kite on their “young voter” kick. Of course their idea of “young voters” are white young voters. Interesting that they never look at the racial disparities in voting. Actually, given their Sanders-centric focus it’s not all that surprising.

Nancy Pelosi deserves a fucking monument on the national mall, not the “she should have retired years ago” bullshit currently being shat out on social media.

This is like the ultimate litmus test for who cares about delivering policy wins that help people and who cares about brand-building tripe.

An important point I don’t see my fellow white people making on this app.
Tonight, was another reminder: there is no single mold for a Democratic winner.

Progressives won. Moderates won. Rural, suburban, urban —they all won. Black, White, Latino, AAPI — they all won. We won in the East, South, Midwest and West. Victories in races from City Council to Governor.
