The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

For the last time, people, "Epstein" is the name of the criminal. The president is "Epstein's monster."

Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.
This is a very dangerous moment for the country and the world. A cornered rat will do anything to escape.

While I give Obama major credit for getting the ACA across the line, our biggest mistake was abandoning Medicare for All before we even started and adopting what was basically Mitt Romney's health plan in a futile attempt to get the GOP to vote for it. It was flawed from the start.
You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all.
We do NOT need health insurance companies at all.
Period.
They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

The shitbombing AI is eliminationist rhetoric, no pun intended. Associating your enemies with filth and disease is a time-honored rhetorical strategy. It can be a prelude to violence.
Using an AI-generated video of himself, Donald Trump sought “to mock and smear millions of Americans, literally depicting them covered in excrement, precisely so that none of his own supporters would want to join them,” @anneapplebaum.bsky.social argues: https://theatln.tc/wY7pEvxZ
