Dismantling the VRA is their plan. An all out attack on black/brown representation that would give Republicans a hammer-lock on power.

A potentially 20-plus house seat shift. Pay attention.

(1 of 4): Trump and House Republicans quietly added a dangerous clause to the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (H.R. 1, 119th Congress) that would make it harder for courts to hold government officials accountable — even if they break the law.

Bernie Sanders sitting on a podcast validating some shithead's claim the Democratic Party is a threat to democracy does not surprise me.

Barack and Hillary should've crushed this self righteous, lying fuck back in 2016 instead of trying to make peace with him.

Under the new GOP tax plan, people making under $15K will see a 74.3% tax hike, and those making $15K–$30K face a 20.6% hike. FUCK. THIS. SHIT. You wonder why people cheer when a CEO who got rich screwing the poor dies? This is why.

ICE pretended to arrest a 21 yo in order to force her to call her undocumented mother to come leave the house (where she was safe from ICE arrest) to care for her baby. When the mother came, she was abducted and the daughter was suddenly of no interest to ICE.

Your occasional reminder that tariffs are constitutionally a Congressional power, which they have delegated to the President under the premise that there is some sort of emergency. The Republicans in Congress can reclaim that power anytime they want.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation.

I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism.

Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community.

Many of the voters Griffin is seeking to disenfranchise in the NC Supreme Court race are military voters who used an absentee ballot, just like Griffin did in 2020. These voters followed all the rules and voted legally, and should not be harassed simply bc Griffin is a sore loser. #OurVoteCounts

I'm sorry, but isn't this just the Cultural Revolution 2.0? Why on earth would fired aid workers and NIH medical researchers go to work on assembly lines for worse salaries in jobs they don't know how to do? Why are they getting their economic policy from Mao?

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.

2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."

3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."

This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible.

Amidst all the hell we're now experiencing, it seems important to note that if Trump pulled Stefanik's nomination and Musk is trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, then clearly elections still matter and *we* should respond in kind.

Last night’s article in the Washington Post about D.C. police responding to a 911 call by illegally letting DOGE onto private property is unlike any news story I have ever read. Every single person should read this article and think about where our society is going.

If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.
