I think the midterm results might reflect that everyone is sick of politics and sick of the president in their face all the time. We used to have whole swaths of time where nothing unusual happened and we never thought about the president. People want that back! We want our brain space back.

Can Trump cancel the election in all 50 states and DC? No. Can he even rig the rules for state run elections? Also no. Is it seriously alarming that the thought is on his mind? And that the media and the Dems don’t seem to think this is a big priority? Yes.

We're getting the first indications that my/our fears were correct: ICE—according to an elected Georgia rep—"conducted a high-speed chase during rush hour" for a suspect who didn't qualify for such treatment under ICE SOPs. The result: the death of a beloved teacher. www.11alive.com/article/news...

11alive.comPolitical outcry follows Georgia teacher's death in crash caused by man fleeing ICEDr. Linda Davis was identified Monday as a woman killed in a crash by a man fleeing ICE in the Savannah area.

A Minneapolis judge released Georgia Fort from detention A judge in Los Angeles released Don Lemon in the last hour. Just minutes ago he said “I will not be silenced” Prosecutors told the judge Lemon was a “threat” to the community and should be locked up. Outrageous.

In addition to arresting Don Lemon, the arrest of my courageous friend and Emmy award winning independent journalist Georgia Fort for REPORTING the church protest in Minneapolis is what FASCISM looks like. This is video of Georgia reporting her own arrest as FBI agents were at her door. 1/2

I was wondering what Mamdani's first executive order would be, and I'm not disappointed by this. He has wiped off the books EVERY Eric Adams executive order issued on or after September 26, 2024, the day Adams was indicted on federal bribery charges.

Let's not, in fact, "hand it" to Rand Paul. His opinions line up with reality about twice a year; and until his hit/miss ratio improves significantly, we should really be hounding the fucking news outlets that keep giving him oxygen.

We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing. We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone. We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

We’ve come a long way from using the 2A to fight government tyranny. Booo.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Maybe, and I'm spitballing here, women don't like waiting in hospital parking lots until they are near death to have life-saving abortions. Maybe they enjoy having a bank account and jobs and voting rights. Maybe they don't want a court judge to decide if they deserve a divorce. Wow, what a mystery.

…but they are convenient.

every “zohran mamdani isn’t the future of the democratic party” post always ends with “the future of the party is actually this guy who sucks that only 80 year olds who are about to die think is dope”

Four years ago, far-right white male supremacist Nick Fuentes was deplatformed pretty much everywhere. Now he's back with a vengeance—and the online right can't stop fighting over whether to condemn him or welcome him. My story: wapo.st/4nJbt4M
