Israel potentially being unable to move past Netanyahu because the supposed moderates can't stomach making a coalition with Arabs really says a lot about how deep the racism is there.

What Kamala Harris proposes in not impeaching Trump is this the same reason why letting Jefferson Davis and the rest of the Confederate soldiers and leaders off the hook was a bad idea.. We've been paying for it ever since😡

Super tired by leading/legacy Dems’ disdain for their own voters. Leadership needs to be an entirely clean slate / IF they win. Until then, can these folks please just be quiet and stop sucking all the oxygen out of the room from some of these fantastic candidates …

FFS, NY Times!! He is not pursing “economic incentives” to “secure an end to the war in Ukraine!” He is giving Putin this money in exchange for gifting Lukoil to his friends, family and Middle Eastern bag men!

The small handful of Democrats running anti-trans ads should be embarrassed now and will be embarrassed in time. I've been saying it and still think it — www.lawdork.com/p/dangerous-... — and people who compromise in this way will change or won't be leaders, even if they are in office.

lawdork.comDems going after trans people this week should be ashamed of themselvesBe skeptical of those proposing instant solutions — especially when they involve making vulnerable people even more vulnerable.

HR 1: The Damnatio Memoriae Act of 2029 Everything Donald Trump did as President was illegitimate and is null and void unless re-authorized by a majority of Congress. Oh SCOTUS complains? Well 3 of you are fake, and 2 are being impeached for corruption.

Not surprising but there you go: The funders who were offering MI college Republicans $200 to heckle El-Sayed are tied to Christian Nationalist Tommy. If he was many to inspire other to follow his lead, it did not go well. Gonna need to offer more than $200.

It's insane Trump's continued cover-up of the Epstein Files is barely part of the national discourse. It's going to be interesting to see what Democrats uncover when they take the gavels.

Has JEFFRIES issued a statement about this yet? Omar is a member of HIS house of Congress.

Truthout@truthout.org

Chuck Schumer — one of the most powerful Democrats in the country — has not issued statements to the press or through his social media channels about the administration’s attack on Ilhan Omar, which critics have described as a five alarm fire for the state of democracy in the U.S.

also the optics of investigations are about grandstanding and the bully pulpit, sure, but they also can actually be for the purpose of investigating to see if there was in fact wrongdoing when there facially appears to possibly be some, so bsky.app/profile/asha...

If Meta suspended the account at the request of or under pressure from the admin, that would be “jawboning” — and a 1A violation. This was exactly what the MAGA states argued wrt the Hunter Biden story and COVID minsinfo. The purpose of the investigation would be to find out if that happened

worth also noting that both the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti happened in her district, and on top of the obviously racist targeting of her personally this is also an attempt to deny the people of Minneapolis their democratically elected representative

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social

New Marist poll of Texas finds 61% say undocumented immigrants should stay in US if meet certain requirements. Only 35% say they should leave. A majority of noncollege white men (Trump base) says stay. Supports my case (see piece/thread below) that Trump opened way for new pro-immigrant consensus
