we have to disassemble and dissolve the democratic party and save the few socialists forced to run underneath their party. it's a dead, useless corpse shambling on to its next political loss. a complete and utter failure composed largely of people just clocking in to keep their salaries.

My teachers used to tell me that Hitler was a persuasive and hypnotic speaker. Overtime I've learned that he mostly just told a lot of people what they wanted to hear and who to blame.
"In the future we'll all have been against this."

The “they made me take down my posts critical of them platforming a Nazi but I won’t resign because that’s giving up space” line was just…my man, the space is ash. There’s nothing left to hold on to.

on top of everything Leelee says here, which is correct across the board, "one of the best writers in the country" is an absurd statement.

guy who works at the bar that serves nazis wants you to know that it's cool that other people work for a different bar that serves nazis down the street
Jamelle, Nikole, Lydia, Tressie and a lot of other people write for the Times and do great work that reaches a broad audience. I'm really glad they're there.

It is endlessly wild to me that, in 2025, so many Politics Knowers simply accept what is put in front of them. "Oh, we're talking about teenage trans girls playing sports, ok!"
Why? Why are we talking about that & not something else? Who decided we're talking about that, and why?

Democratic politicians and liberal pundits bemoaning the LA protests need to understand that as *their* failure. None of this would be happening if they had offered effective resistance to mass deportation (extraordinary rendition, in truth) instead of considering undocumented people expendable.

on January 6th, while attempting to overthrow an election, multiple rioters wore Nazi paraphernalia. they declared their intent to murder elected officials. the right stood steadfastly behind them and are now more powerful than ever. you can stand behind someone waving a Mexican flag.
