When the state unilaterally breaks the rules of a free press, continuing to practice polite, deferential access journalism isn't just a failure to adapt—it's a surrender of the fourth estate's core function.

If anyone was still pretending this isn’t just about excluding trans kids from public life, the Trump administration just opened a Title IX investigation into a Maine school district because a trans student is on a *co-ed* cheerleading squad.

At the height of my punk days, I loved the Dead Kennedys and thought Jello Biafra was over the top. In hindsight, he wasn’t wrong—just ahead of the curve.

Say the Quiet Part Loud Just admit you want a government that can detain whoever it wants whenever it wants. It’s authoritarian, sure — but at least it’s honest. Stop pretending the Constitution approves.

The old joke “vote early, vote often” was meant as sarcasm — but maybe it shouldn’t be. We should vote often: every election, every primary, every local race. Real balance comes when more than just the die-hards show up. #VoteEarly #VoteOften #CivicDuty #VirginiaVotes

Trump says he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize. The Committee is considering giving him something even more fitting — the Nobel Participation Trophy: “For showing up, declaring victory, and leaving early.”

Trump’s statement blaming “radical left rhetoric” for Charlie Kirk’s death is peak hypocrisy. He’s spent years using inflammatory language, praising violence, and pardoning Jan 6 rioters—yet now he claims rhetoric is dangerous? Even this speech scapegoats.

Apparently Steve is putting on a big club night tonight. He claims to have booked a venue and printed flyers that say “Free entry if you bring Steve a pint.” I suspect the 'venue' will be our living room, and I've checked his playlist, it's one song on repeat: Darude Sandstorm. You have been warned

I find it shocking how many people who should know better are just going to follow orders and go along with this nonsense quietly

of all the Washington sports teams names in history - including Redskins and Bullets - the most offensive at this moment is the Senators.

Funny how the same govt some on the right feared would abuse firearm background checks is now using IRS records & social media to target people for deportation—and they’re fine with it. The fear was never about criminals. It was about the abuse of power. Now it’s real.

“Trump has traditionally done well with lower-information voters, so it is perhaps not surprising that they are more inclined to support his presidency. …. [These voters] had one thing in common: They were much more likely to get their news from social media.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Do you know what kind of countries control prices, Donald Trump? Communist countries! You are taxing the American people with your tariffs after EVERYONE said it was a terrible idea and now you want corporations to absorb the cost? That makes you a commie!

There have got to be enough Republicans in the house and senate that know this is fucked up …. And it’s sad that they are willing to watch everything burn just because they are scared of losing their jobs … their job is literally to protect the country from shit like this

80% of Americans think the country would better off if more manufacturing was done here but only 25% would actually take those jobs. This is an encapsulation of every major policy issue in the US.
