Trump and the New York Times are aligned in their endorsement, showing once again that liberal “centrists” have more in common with Nazis than anyone who dares propose taxing billionaires or making busses free.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

There are dozens of reasons Stephen Miller is a terrible person. The way he looks is not one of them. Stop talking about his appearance.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.

Making the active choice to withhold emergency funding and starve large swaths of the country is “political violence” and it should be reported and viewed as such

Seeing conservative commentators joyfully mock poor people and their children horrified at the prospect of going hungry really puts a laser focus into how completely full of shit they were while clutching their pearls over “political violence”.

Q: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?"

Trump: "No. I think they haven't gone far enough”

Paucity of support for Mamdani from prominent Dems exposes "Vote blue no matter who" as nothing more than a phrase to bully progressives into voting for right-wing Dems.

Capitalists, whether they identify as R or D, routinely choose to starve children, the disabled, and the elderly on purpose. Trump and MAGA Republicans are just an intensification of that practice.
