This is not the place to tell me that Americans aren't doing anything about this because we're docile cowards.

Americans are doing a lot about this and you just don't know because our media isn't talking about it.

Where's "journalist" Jake Tapper now?

Even as a cynical scholar of rape culture, I'm shocked that this isn't the headline story on domestic politics everywhere right now. It's just an unfathomable abuse of power, in clear violation of the law.

This is why Dems are less popular than AI

What in the world? Why would the Democrats in DC give the Republicans a lifeline when they are sinking politically? WTAH man?

Republicans are against public education on principle!

Let's start with funding Leandro and giving voucher money back to public schools.

no. i'm going to be 50 in a couple years and i never remember politics being about budgets. it's always been culture wars and actual wars. also, abortion is a basic health issue and never should have been a political one in the first place

I'll be there virtually! Looking forward to your talk, although I just figured out yesterday that it won't be streamed live for those if us playing along at home. ๐Ÿ˜ข

That Dem consultants told Gov. Walz to stop calling them โ€œweirdโ€ still has me miffed.

The core revelation here is that Trump has lost the public *on the mass deportations themselves* and not just on ICE's brutal tactics. We have been arguing this for months but media has simply refused to acknowledge it. Now so obvious that it can't be avoided

love how we killed the old, frail anti-nuke ayatollah just to have him replaced with his young, healthy son who wants nukes and who just had his father, mother, wife, and child murdered on the same day by his mortal enemy. surely this will bring peace to the region

Itโ€™s also literally buying into fascist narratives, can we please not do that

The @democrats.org have been ignoring and even attacking their base for so long, of course they have no fans left.

This would be a good time for a serious third party to represent progressives. What's @workingfamilies.org up to?

Instead of Bringing Accountability to ICE, Trump Chooses To Have Travelers Wait For Hours In TSA Lines The administration is also detaining teen mariachi musicians instead of ending its shutdown and agreeing to common-sense reforms reining in ICE.

The admin has every ability to begin to end its shutdown today and agree to bring some accountability to ICE. Instead, its choosing to detain teen mariachi performers (who have thankfully been released this week) while travelers wait for as long as three hours in TSA lines:

Governor Stein has submitted a critical needs budget proposal to fill the gap until the legislature passes a new budget. It includes raises for teachers. Hope the legislature funds it! #nced #ncpublicschools

It's by design. Why do you think Republicans hate public education so much?

So Mark Meadows is getting loud to push the voting law changes disingenuously called the Save Act?

Mark Meadows?

Bad news: no one is coming to save us. None of the institutions that got us here will get us out. We have to organize, and use our power to change these systems.

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

not that it was okay with gaza (or lebanon or syria) either, but the broadening of the way western media and politicians just treat israel's every action as presumptively justified is quite incredible

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

This is where they have always been heading. I'm a cis white woman who stopped shaving 25 years ago and always hated pink. I don't want anyone policing my gender or anyone else's!

Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain thatโ€™s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are โ€˜just circling backโ€™ to see if we can โ€˜move the needleโ€™ on โ€˜key initiativesโ€™? NONE of those things are berries.
