Honestly after being on this website for some time now it is clear to me why American "leftists" are the losingest political force in our country's history. They are just fundamentally unlikeable, unserious people. As a progressive it is incredibly bleak and depressing.

Jesus Christ, Democrats can't even conceive of a future where they don't provide tax support to at least *some* data center developers.

Governor Josh Shapiro@governor.pa.gov

Under my plan, data center developers will not receive state support unless they commit to the strictest standards of accountability and transparency.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Lethal injection sounds to people like its a medical process designed to spare the executed person from pain when its really a pseudo-medical sham designed to spare observers and onlookers from the reality of the violence they're committing.

Wow.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

i have really come to the view that partisanship is to be embraced wholesale. partisanship and principle but not purity.

Freeze@cfreiss.bsky.social

Woke 2 needs Democratic leaders to remember that the Federalists and anti-Federalists hated each other. Get that attitude toward Republicans and talk accordingly. They are your colleagues working against everything you stand for, not good-intentioned, misguided friends.

5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open. Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

I would trade ten years of my life for a competent Democratic party. Who convinced Booker this was a good idea?

Cory Booker@corybooker.com

We can’t just be the party of no. We need big ideas to help working people get ahead. Here’s one from me: no tax on your first $75K of household income, a bigger child tax credit, and ending tax loopholes exploited by billionaires and big corporations.

Trump is demanding Netflix remove former U.N. ambassador Susan Rice from its board for saying "it's not going to end well" for corporations that bend the knee to the administration. But Rice was right — and Netflix must stand behind her. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/susa...

democracydocket.comSusan Rice is right. Now Netflix must choose.The institutions and individuals who betrayed democratic principles will bear that mark of shame well into the future.

Please do not let Gaby's tantrum over getting the attention she wanted distract you from the amazing Minneapolis legal observers, protestors, organizers, and aid givers (all while also under federal occupation because they're just that good)

From Elie Honig at Stay Tuned with Preet. Here is the kind of material that is still being withheld from the Epstein files, in violation of the federal statute:

After spending more time here I am realizing that when people say "Stancil digs his heels in and argues over small issues" they really mean "Stancil refuses to agree with me when we argue, even though it makes me really upset."

He destroyed our economy and everyone knows it. Whatever he or his voters would like to believe about what he did, the numbers do not lie. We are seeing the worst job growth in over two decades and it is explicitly tied to bad decisions he made and then lied about. He's pathetic.

Special for my friends in the media! Before you use numbers from a new DHS “economic impact analysis” in reporting on a new Trump prison camp, please consider that these reports appear to be (to use a technical term) horseshit. Helpful explanation here: projectsaltbox.substack.com/p/federal-ec...

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language." I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

A child dying of cancer spent her final days fighting to free her wrongfully detained father from ICE custody.   This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.   Not one dime for this cruelty. www.cbsnews.com/amp/chicago/...

I think what’s funny to me here is that people make up really specific-sounding shit (“I eat one egg a day and would notice if it went up by 2%”) and then call Stancil pedantic when he does the math problem *they literally created to sound rigorous.*

Will Stancil@whstancil.bsky.social

If you're eating one egg a day, a 2% increase in egg costs raises your egg spending by about two dollars annually. You'd notice this?

But we didn't have economic stagnation for the working class. We had a period of unusually *high* wage growth for low income workers.

AOC on why Trump returned to office: "when you have economic stagnation, for the working class that, especially in an environment where GDP is growing, that is the stuff of populist movement. The choice is what direction those populist movements can go."

Let's fucking go!

The Virginia Supreme Court has ruled that the state can put a redistricting plan on the ballot this spring that could add as many as four more Democratic seats in Congress. The referendum will take place on April 21.

An essential part of the term “blood libel” is that it was an accusation made against Jews with no proof or evidence. Those accusing the state of Israel of committing genocide have marshaled extensive evidence. It demeans the term “blood libel” to compare them.
