Yup. Over this bullshit. How about we start aiming at the people actually making our lives a living hell.

As a current Minnesotan, NO, the fuck we don’t not. Also it’s ^Somalis. “Somalians” is not a word. Leave us alone. Leave us alone. Leave us alone. These evil fucking people have done enough to us.

Fuck that

Illinois Senator Dick Durbin on Wednesday discouraged Democrats from engaging in the same political gamesmanship over Supreme Court nominees as their Republican colleagues if the party wins the majority in November. @kelseyreichmann.bsky.social www.courthousenews.com/durbin-pours...

No matter what the Court ruled, Trump and his goons are going to try some fuckery. Don't give them a chance. Drop your ballot off at a drop box, vote early in-person, or vote in-person on Election Day. Do. Not. Give. Trump's. Goons. The. Chance. To. Throw. Out. Your. Vote.

Dolly Parton did all the good she could, for all the people she could, for as long as ever she could. From her legendary songwriting to the Imagination Library—which sent 1 million books a month to children across the country—she was the best of America. Dolly, we'll miss your great heart.

Remembering how during the Claudine Gay scandal, one of its biggest promoters of the story was Bill Ackman. Then someone uncovered that Ackman's own wife was a professor alleged to have committed much more serious academic misconduct than Gay and then nothing happened to her.

Conservatives spent years warning us that men would pretend to be trans just to get into women’s sports. When that imaginary epidemic failed to materialize, they apparently decided to start doing it themselves and now they’re all high-fiving each other over it. Incredible commitment to the bit.

Any time someone tells you that Democrats and Republican members of Congress are the same as each other - and ESPECIALLY if they tell you they vote the same - they're either very very stupid or they're lying to you. There's no third option.

The amount of hostility these progressive candidates have towards the Party they're trying to lead is genuinely baffling. Even if they win their primary and get elected, how long can they carry on that way before they're rendered completely impotent in office by not being able to work with anyone?

Ossoff: "Here's what's going to happen tonight: the world's most famous sore loser will deliver a prime-time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election, while his war in the Middle East spirals out of control & the cost of living continues to rise.."

Before the president gets on television tonight to peddle lies and conspiracy theories, here is what you need to know: The 2020 election was not stolen. We won, and he lost.

I put off making a 2nd video about Graham Platner since my 1st in Nov 2025, as that one stayed relevant: he's an embarrassing liar who should've been jettisoned immediately. Many progressive commentators disagreed, and now they've bullied a rape victim into going public skepchick.org/2026/07/the-...

I will never understand why the entire Democratic Party isn't running on this. There's an abundance of evidence that for the last 50 years at least Dems are MUCH better for the economy. They need a unified message, simple and full of facts, and all of them need to repeat it over and over again.

Assuming he is dropping out, which I believe is imminent, whoever replaces Platner in the Maine Senate race is going to need a fuckton of our help. We can flip that seat! We HAVE to!

Justice Brown Jackson's argument for birthright citizenship is very moving. I recommend reading it in full. An excerpt with alt-text below. “The Reconstruction Amendments were an anticaste, antisubordination reset for the Nation, not a mere spot treatment for the dark stain of slavery.” — KBJ

BWCipher reposted

The Birthright citizenship ruling should be a wake up call to any Dem who is still on the fence about court reform. We are essentially one seat change away from the Court undoing Reconstruction by fiat.

Ugh. Supreme Court rules in Slaughter, 6-3 that Trump can fire people from the FTC. But in Cook, Court rules 5-4 that Trump cannot fire everybody from the Fed. Roberts writes both majority opinions There's no real difference between the FTC and the FED other than Roberts likes the Fed.

BWCipher reposted

The Slaughter case, overturning precedent, returns us to a spoils system where a president can “clean house” every four years, destroying our professional, independent civil service.

In 2018, a famous lawyer won a $289M verdict for a man who got cancer after using Monsanto's glyphosate weedkiller for years. Today, that same lawyer works for Trump, who signed an EO expanding glyphosate production and whose DOJ defended Monsanto in court. His name? RFK Jr.

And make no mistake, when the Klan was ranting about unassimilable immigrants in the 1920s, they were very much talking about Italians whom they attacked as Catholic pawns of the pope, as a "criminal race" whose members were all tied to the mafia, and as a non-white threat to white women.

Samuel Alito's dad was born in Calabria, Italy in 1914, which was a completely failed state shithole at the time. You either spent your life farming dirt or got killed at 16 working for an Ndrangheta underboss. Now his son spends all day panicking about uncivilized Haitians.

I say this with no ill will or animosity: if you hate the Democratic Party, then please don’t run for our nomination. Don’t use our resources. Don’t rely on our volunteers. Don’t use our infrastructure. Don’t ask Democrats to invest their time, money, and energy in your campaign.

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

He went from orange to red. While the President's tantrums are absurd, his delusions of voter fraud are dangerous. The President is an unhinged disgrace, and the American people deserve a Congress that will stand up to Trump's lies, not enable them.

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

The Purcell principle now officially just means “Republicans win.” For the reasons Sotomayor lays out here, SCOTUS’s eleventh hour intervention for Alabama Republicans is indefensible. It’s going to unleash massive chaos on the ground for both voters and election administrators. What a disaster.

This heinous ruling confirms a worst-case-scenario reading of Callais as an all-purpose shield for racist lawmakers who want to gerrymander Black communities into electoral oblivion. And it’s outrageously partisan—a totally unprincipled gift to the GOP. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.
