Dear MAGA voter, if you think Elon Musk dropping the ‘DOGE hammer’ on our government agencies is gonna benefit your families & communities you are in for a rude awakening. It will make what Reagan, Fox News & Sackler’s did to your rusted world look like child’s play. Bet on it.

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

If you’re traveling and spot ICE at the airport, start snapping photos. They aren't allowed to wear masks inside the terminal, which gives us a rare, massive opportunity for identification. Don’t miss the shot

You never needed DHS in the first place. It was just another thing they shoehorned in based on terrifying all Americans. If we don’t have this special group the big baddies are going to get you. Meanwhile they were becoming the big baddies all along.

The cool thing about DOGE is that they taught us that ICE can be abolished in an afternoon by the next Dem president. I will only support primary candidates with that attitude.

This is how you do it. Dems need a Project 2026 and a Project 2028 and they need to be AGGRESSIVE. Not just take trying to restore what the MAGA orcs destroyed, but going much further in the other direction.

The Virginia legislature today passed four constitutional amendments, all by day 3 of 2026 session: —protect abortion rights —repeal the same-sex marriage ban —allow mid-decade redistricting —greatly expand voting rights restoration. These will all go to 2026 referendums.

Here is a thread about a true police-shooting incident that I'm going to use to pose a fun little thought problem for anyone anywhere who think there ia a single justifiable reason to ever allow a law enforcement officer to use force on a citizen and remain anonymous. From my back pages:

Zelenskyy has appointed Canada's Chrystia Freeland as Ukraine's Special Advisor on Economic Development. This places one of the most experienced Western economic & geopolitical operators directly into Ukraine’s reconstruction and long term development strategy. #cdnpoli 🧵

Few Americans have ever focused on Putin's Murmansk speech on Mar 27, in which he essentially said: I get Ukraine, Trump gets Greenland and Venezuela, Xi gets Taiwan. It's the core of their compact, in which the US is the junior partner.

As is the case with Musk, and even Trump, the most grotesque part is not their existence — awful people have always been around and always will be. The most grotesque part is nominally smart or honest or decent people taken in by them. Or, at least, pretending to be taken in, for advantage.

The Trump admin made plans to pull 4 countries out of the EU & into the orbit of the US in an effort to “Make Europe Great Again”. The plan envisions Austria, Hungary, Italy & Poland out of the EU & into alignment w. the US, while backing interference movements. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/e...

Imagine a media ecosystem in which, instead of spending millions relentlessly promoting The Bulwark and The Lincoln Project, the legacy media had spent just a fraction of that lifting up Liberal voices who had actually been right all along.

I rarely sound alarm - but please: do not believe what you hear or read from the legacy outlets. For US news - these either serve the WH by definition or are intimidated to serve (always their decision though) For global news - US media spreads pro-RU, anti-EU views under “America First” label.

My question is this. A BBC article says this plan was leaked,not sure if that's true. The demands DT is making to Zelenaky" are the same as they always were. Same as months ago. DT is giving Putin everything he's asked for.While threatening Ukraine,with no more. 1/ www.cnn.com/2025/11/21/e...

cnn.comTrump is giving Russia almost everything it wants with his Ukraine peace plan | CNNTrying the same thing over and over again, without success, is either the definition of insanity or Russian negotiation tactics, depending on your point of view.

Former Finnish PM Sanna Marin put it bluntly: “To end the conflict, Russia must leave Ukrainian territory.” Just one point. Nothing more to discuss.

This is sobering but precise. From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
