If Jimmy Kimmel gets suspended for mild comments about Tyler Robinson leaning MAGA, something not even off-base, why does Brian Kilmeade still have a job after suggesting murder? I’m not letting go of this. It’s the clearest example of the current disproportionate hypocrisy.

one of key functions of immigration raids & crackdowns is not to actually deport all migrants/refugees but to deepen conditions of social precarity & labor deportability. to make migrants more vulnerable to exploitation from bosses & landlords & banks, and to create scapegoats for austerity policies

“Tell me the wretched truth about America” is inspired rhetoric. Don’t tell me we were great. Tell me what’s wrong, what demands repair & redress. Show me what needs work.

On the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, America’s unions mourn the 146 lives lost on that tragic day, many of whom were immigrant women. More than a century later, the labor movement must continue to stand in solidarity and protect workers’ safety on the job.
Each year on March 25 we commemorate the anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. This tragic event took the lives of 146 mostly young, immigrant women workers in 1911.

The issue is no longer shutdown or CR. (We agree here - it all sucked.) Issue is there’s no concerted resistance. We need a strong opposition party with a strong leader. Schumer misread the moment. What we have now is just a bunch of different voices screaming into the void, without a leader.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

This will interest no one, but 98% of the US population thinks cryptocurrency is a scratch ticket you buy at the gas station.

Until the economy crashes so badly it'll make 1929 look like the Great Gold Rush.
It feels like a scam because it is one.
