It's truly extraordinary, all the column inches and earnest pundit chatter about his strategy and personality, when in fact it's all right there, in broad daylight. He's a baby having a tantrum. It's really no more complicated than that.
Obama: "At some point, you age out. You're not connected directly to the immediate struggles that folks are going through. I'm not making a hard and fast rule here, but I think Democrats do well when we have candidates who are plugged into the moment. To the zeitgeist. To the times."
Every American needs to watch this:
“I commend the owners for their decision and thank them on behalf of the people of Oklahoma City,” Holt said. “As Mayor, I ask that every single property owner in Oklahoma City exhibit the same concern for our community in the days ahead.”
DHS, ICE no longer seeking OKC facility for proposed detention center, Mayor Holt confirms
Oklahoma City doesn’t want ICE
I realise I'm just a freak, but living in a multicultural city is the best thing of all time, it's just the best possible human experience and i can not understand why anyone on earth would be like "weve got to destroy this"
Read every word.

Know who profits from Trump's cruelty.
Being an American feels like getting on a school bus and then your bus driver decides to do a drive by
This is not a small thing, and it’s not just run of the mill misogyny - there is a war on women’s humanity and I’m fucking exhausted of people not treating it like the emergency it is
@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com OMG, stop mansplaining like we're all idiots. We know it's hard. They signed up for hard. The 8 were all veterans, this was not their 1st vote. Not even their 1st shutdown.
Does Bernie know? Do the other 38 Democratic know?
The party was coalescing. They fucked us.
literal lunatics are in charge of public health right now

… then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Firing and demoralizing feminized jobs as enemies of the state while brazenly bribing men with violent jobs that almost instantly puts them into the middle of middle class is very basic gendered warfare. Fulfilling the manosphere’s promise.
From prosecutor to senator to vice president, Kamala Harris has always been for the people. I know her next chapter will be no different, whatever shape it takes.
Stop being mean to each other over petty nonsense. We're all distressed. Be kind.
Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.
when you say shit like “who got to them?” or “they were blackmailed” you’re painting them sympathetically. stop doing that. they’re not victims, they’re grown people who made a conscious choice.
When your neighbor on the left is being dragged away by masked men and your neighbor on the right can't get an X-ray for their child, be sure to quickly explain that "both parties are the same" and whatnot.
The Republican spending bill is a historic theft that will take from the poor to give to the already-rich.
Republicans passed this knowing people will die.
They know people will lose their health care.
They know children will go hungry.
They will own the tragic results. We can't let them forget.
More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.
There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.
Every single Republican president in my lifetime has crashed the goddamn economy and gotten us into the middle of an idiotic, poorly planned war in the Middle East.
leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it
news outlets: these protesters are out of control
The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.
Charlie Kirk retweets an image, saying “this is what we are fighting for” “Evan loves worf” or @esjesj points out, “the (American) flag has 15 stripes, 44 stars, and isn’t attached to anything”
This works so well cause they’re “fighting” for something that has never existed, doesn’t make any sense, and that they can’t even coherently identify.
The Trump administration is again putting women’s lives at risk.
But federal law still requires hospitals to provide emergency care, including abortion, to pregnant women in all 50 states. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
MSNBC headline: The GOP's plan could throw millions off Medicaid - and that's just the start
The Republican tax plan is Robin Hood in reverse.
It would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich through a single law in our entire history.
Stop this bill.
