Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

Most frustrating is so much of this shit is on the shadow docket with no explanation so there's no precedent set that will make them look even more corrupt when they abandon it during a Dem administration

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

invocation of the insurrection act will be the key moment for everyone. the white house, any state where it's invoked, especially the supreme court. all public officials are ultimately responsible for acting in line with the constitution. a false invocation of the insurrection act, itself a ...

Nothing remotely resembling an insurrection is happening anywhere in the country. Any violence associated with protest has been isolated, mild, and, in nearly every case, instigated by federal law enforcement. If we let Trump get away with calling dissent an insurrection, our republic is over.

Doing politics the right way is when the far-right regime in power memorializes a fallen influencer by terrorizing an academic that the influencer's McCarthyist organization once baselessly singled out for abuse.

Donald Trump promised his billionaire friends a TRILLION dollars in benefits if they gave his campaign a billion dollars last year.

Now, Trump sent that TRILLION dollars to his friends and doesn't want to pay for YOUR healthcare.

A deal between Israel and Hamas is fantastic news. There is much to be done but let’s hope that the pendulum swings now to peace and rebuilding. Anxiously awaiting the return of the hostages and an end to hostilities . www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Because they now worship a strongman in the White House, my former political party has utterly abandoned their long held belief in states’ rights. Add that to the extensive & always growing list of principles Republicans have jettisoned these past ten years.

It's almost as if a movement that began with lusty chants of "lock her up" in regard to the opposition party's candidate for President in 2016...combined with a refusal to honor the results of the election...has morphed into a cult of unaccountable, authoritarian power.
