Trump's white nationalist aides are churning out vile videos glorifying migrant suffering. But Trump-MAGA are *losing* the online culture wars over deportations, because the humane side is info-warring better.

When folks gripe about DEI, remind them who benefited from shutting out dancers like Copeland. That pattern runs through our whole history.

It’s almost as if cynically standing for nothing while allowing America’s slide into fascism to continue unchecked wasn’t a great strategy.

Eugenics was never just about genes. It was about power: deciding whose lives are “fit,” whose are a “burden,” who gets resources, and who’s written off as too expensive to save.

Orwellian levels of wtf when the new "uhhh, we'll see" process is branded as "Unlimited / Discretionary Time Off" (a.k.a. DTO). Everybody just misses the old accounting accumulation approach.

When you've lost the historians without needing years of reflection on the magnitude of your buffoonery.
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.

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.

Absolutely, false bravery until they got some tactical win they wanted, then capitulation, it's democrats 101 stuff.
Dems were a little afraid of pissing off the Dem base - that's why the traitors and fascist collaborators in Dem leadership waited until after the election to pull this crap.
