I think @damonberes.com nailed this one: Social media is not social anymore, and with the pivot to AI, companies that build social media are building something that is isolating us even more

Trump pardons Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Jeffrey Clark and other crooks who helped him try to overturn the 2020 election. A criminal pardoning his fellow criminals. These are dark times in America.

In a functional party system, this kind of capitulation in the face of authoritarianism could mean the end of the Democratic Party.

In our system, it could mean the end of the two party system. Neither party can represent the pro-democracy majority. It's time for something new.

If Republicans are so committed to ending Medicare/Medicaid fraud, why does Trump keep pardoning healthcare execs found guilty of millions and sometimes billions in Medicare/Medicaid fraud?

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The democrats essentially just told the republicans it’s ok to blame them for the shutdown as they will now own it and the violence it causes.

Epistemic injustice as policy:
“I feel like it's very much rooted in the assumption that the experiences and the voices of minoritized populations, individuals, communities are not valid. And so I feel like white supremacy is actually on full display in the way that my case has been handled.”

Second American Civil War isn't inevitable at all, but people really need to accept that a) the American Constitutional system is no longer functioning, and b) last time that happened at this scale we fought a civil war. Nothing here is inside the bounds of ordinary politics

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

I really truly didn't think there was anything in the Epstein files that was new or surprising but like they're straight up refusing to seat a Republican House rep because she'll vote to release it and the House basically hasn't existed since like September

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.

That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

i obviously support the “primary them all” school of thought but, for the record, it’s going to require a more than that to *get* to the next primary for these people—who i assume took a hit for 2026 cycle dems anyways.

primary them, yes, but these people really shouldn’t be able to eat in public.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.
