If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

the US media and political and financial class is so lost in the myth of Great Leader Trump being the only one with agency that this rather striking fact is completely irrelevant to them. Trump says it’s over so it’s over! time for irrational exuberance!

You average normie Democrat in 2026 loves AOC, wants to abolish ICE, and thinks Israel shouldn’t get another penny from us.

It’s laughable how out of touch centrist consultants and politicians are.

If you get into a β€œwho can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society.

Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

I understand that there are a lot of folks on the left who instinctively recoil from religious language, and with good reason given its use by the right.

But please listen to this, and focus on how he's trying to realign "Christian values" so they align with and advance progressive policy goals.

Floor aside, I don’t think people realize how different a D+15 midterm looks from a D+10

Fuzzy memories and hard facts: An SC accuser's claims against Epstein, Trump examined An alleged victim of Jeffrey Epstein gave FBI agents true accounts of her time growing up in SC. Claims she made about Donald Trump remain unsubstantiated.

"A woman who claims she was abused as a minor by both Epstein and Trump has given the FBI vivid accounts that include aspects of her life corroborated by the The Post and Courier through public records ... she claimed Trump forced her to commit a sex act on him sometime around 1984."

Democrats are going to fund and support this war. Like every enabling and collaborative stunt they pull, this is yet another opportunity to recognize they aren’t an opposition party but a captured group that serves the interests of the same wealth and oligarchical classes as the Republicans.

Love how this isn’t even the top story in the country right now because our pedophile president launched an illegal war

Wisconsin specific PSA: deadline to register to vote in the Supreme Court race is coming up mid-March.

1. Even if you think you’re registered, verify.

2. If you plan to register by mail: the deadline is 3/18 but *MAKE SURE TO DO IT DAYS EARLY* because new USPS rules: boltsmag.org/usps-postmar...

An analysis of over 14 million social media posts from accounts in Canada found that 87% of conspiratorial claims come from just 100 influencers.

This minority of users impacts politics, influencing what people view as normal and leads to self-censoring to avoid attacks from conspiracy theorists.

One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.

I think this might be the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. what kind of democracy are you even describing here? what’s the theory of change if people aren’t accountable for the performance of their campaigns?

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like β€œoh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

If you want to stop Newsom, build up his negatives with Black voters *now.* Emphasize how he keeps hanging out with racists and inviting them to talk on his show. Ask how Black people have fared in his California and how he’s responded to racism against us. What was he doing in 2014? 2016? 2020?

Does ICE have access to Flock data? Flock data captured in Dane County has been shared as far away as Tennessee. That raises some flags for those worried about immigration enforcement.

The answer is Yes. isthmus.com/news/news/do...

It's funny, growing up the Miami Herald was famous for Monkey Business Gary Hart and now they're famous for uncovering a global pedophile ring that included two Presidents and Bill Fucking Gates. I'd say that's an insane CV from a small but mighty paper

DOJ releases Epstein files with accusations against Trump Over the course of four interviews in 2019, a woman told the FBI that Epstein and Trump sexually abused her in the 1980s.

β€œA DOJ source told the Miami Herald that agents found her to be credibleβ€”and that they would not have interviewed her four times if they thought she was lying.”

None of these contrarian types who gladly went to work at HHS under anti-vax conspiracy theorist Robert Kennedy Jr. should ever work in academia again.

If we want 70/30 & not 50/50, the platform is institutional reform. 70/30 is European multiparty parliamentary democracy. As long as we have a 2-party system, ~20% will keep deluding itself that it's still voting for the GWHB party &/or do the 1920s "communists are worse than the fascists" thing.

Evidence piling up that the Trump regime thought Iran is Venezuela, and the Maduro operationβ€”which needed some luck to go as smoothly as it did, and didn’t actually advance US national interest or improve anything for Venezuelansβ€”was easily repeatable in the Middle East.

This was not very smart.
