The video of Israel using silenced weapons to murder the 15 aid workers who are clearly in ambulances.
These are blatant War Crimes, Israel must be sanctioned and all aid cut off to them now.
The Tea Party, although backed by billionaires, breathed new life into a calcified old Republican Party. It showed that there was life and energy on the political right.
This resistance to popular movements on the Democratic side is so destructive—a recipe for stagnation, defeat, and irrelevance.
The (astroturf) Tea Party gave the GOP its biggest wave since the 1920s, electing 87 new House members in 2010.
It moved the Overton Window right, cowed the Obama administration, put fear into Dem lawmakers, and ultimately made Trump possible.
Yeah, Dems wouldn’t want that for themselves…
Just remember: businesses will not support democracy if it's bad for business to do so.
A country built on avarice and hyperindividualism was always destined to fall to a strongman

“The guy trying to kill us might try to kill us harder if we fight back” — Democrat proverb
The Democratic Party has been throwing working people under the bus for a while.
It’s encouraging to see people waking up to it, as it has become unsustainable.
Welcome aboard. Let’s demand better: a political party that choosing working people over owner-donors.
So I’m supposed to believe the filibuster both prevents Dems from doing good shit but also is a useless tool for opposing GOP bad shit. Ok.
Democrats built their entire party structure on polite deference, seniority, and chasing bipartisanship—as opposed to elevating the most talented and passionate politicians.
...Leaving too many pale, stale (and, frankly, male) lawmakers in prominent positions.
NEW: Family of Mahmoud Khalil just released footage of his arrest
“Stop resisting”
“He’s not resisting”
Agents seen continuing to ignore Mahmoud’s wife as she asks basic questions
If Democrats won't act like an opposition party, we will.
I have fucking had it & I hope you all have too. I don’t care what any of these individuals in our party do in the coming days to try to make it seem like they did not do what they did today. They showed their fucking cards & that’s it, we don’t have short-term memories and are not idiots like MAGA
NEW: We have more details on the detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, a recent Columbia graduate and activist arrested by the Department of Homeland Security almost one week ago.
Here's what you need to know🧵
Rollover and play dead wins. I'm honestly really sorry everyone. This is a bad, depressing outcome. We tried our best, and we didn't succeed. We're circling up with Indivisible group leaders over the next day to plan for what accountability will look like. Stay tuned.
The administration is doing a good job trying to keep measles cases from being counted, yet we’ve already had more deaths in 2025 than in any of the last 30 yrs.
Measles also has a delay (incubation period) between transmission and symptoms, so people can be contagious without knowing they’re sick.
This is particularly scary because it's confirmation that he no longer even cares if he hurts his base. Yeah the cult will stick with him for now, but this is a blaring siren that nothing matters anymore. He will not restrain his authoritarianism because he is afraid to lose his own support.
This is straight-up fascist dictatorship activity. Not fascist-adjacent or “reminiscent of authoritarian regimes” or whatever euphemistic bullshit — fascism.
smol vs thicc doge meme but it’s a crying possum and a buff possum wearing a straw hat and black and red bandana first one says NOBODYS COMING TO SAVE US second one says WE CAN ALL SAVE EACH OTHER WITH DIRECT ACTION, MUTUAL AID, AND RADICAL SOLIDARITY shared from prairie possum co-op https://www.facebook.com/share/1526Ec8RY7/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Reminder: if you predicted half the things happening now (threatening to take Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal; lawless mass firings; complete defiance of Congressional prerogatives; mass pardons of violent supporters) even a couple of years ago, Serious Thinkers would have dismissed you.
