“Whatever the solution to the erosion of liberal democracy, it should be commonly held that no path back to power that does not consider Black America can be the American dream.” - @tressiemcphd.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/o...

"El Sayed dug up the buried implication of Tommy's question, held it up for all to examine, and then, one shovelful after another, question by question, buried Tommy in the hole left behind." www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

this man is a gotdamned patriot

Seeing how little coverage that house report that added another rape accusation to Trump's tally got today, I looked back on just the front page Benghazi stories (there were many, many more inside over these months).

There are only two explanations for the NYT's habit of presenting GOP operatives and donors as true swing voters: 1. Their reporters and editors are somehow incapable of running a simple Google searches, showing just a staggering level of journalistic incompetence 2. They want to the GOP to win

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Two former Governors of South Carolina - one from each party - have endorsed Democrat Annie Andrews who is running against Sen. Darline Graham R-SC

yup.

Any politician who’s willing to throw away one group’s rights is willing to throw away everyone’s rights. It’s that simple. Every single consultant, pundit and candidate who’s shown a willingness to abandon trans rights needs to be shunned from the party forever

I'm told I need to be held responsible for the employment future of students who are graduating into an economy that's in the toilet and who live in a state ranked as the worst the country for workers. Wages are the responsibility of employers, not professors. www.cbs17.com/news/north-c...

Inject this into my veins. Go vote. Bring friends. The GOP is terrified, and they should be.

Every elected and appointed Republican at the federal, state, and local levels, should be investigated, charged, convicted, and sentenced for being a part of an insurrectionist movement and a conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

you know, i think this guy might be bad at the law bsky.app/profile/atru...

I’m sure folks know this but you don’t need to know about dual cooling systems to know that you don’t want or need a data center in your community. Additionally, no, we don’t need a Black-owned data center in the name of a “seat at the table.” just to get out ahead on that foolishness.

Today I wrote about Abdul El Sayed's encounter with a Christian fascist named "Tommy," and the fine art of digging up the shameful things fascists bury under their accusations, exposing them for what they are, and then burying their lies in the hole left behind. www.the-reframe.com/taking-our-c...

The soaring costs of public universities is a political decision. When these schools predominantly served white students, they tended to be free (UC, CCNY, etc.) But as the number of students of color has increased, funding for the public universities has decreased. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/b...

So if you’re furious as you fill up your tank, just remember Exxon is making a lot of money off you.

This admission alone is an impeachable offense

You can't beat fascism by agreeing with fascism. You can't beat fascists by accepting a fascist frame. Corporatist Democratic Party leadership needs to be defeated and jettisoned. We have to fight them, not because we don't want to fight Republicans, but because they refuse to.

Trump didn't like Ramaswamy until he saw him sticking up for child rapists and their enablers. He hated the Ivy League until Cornell had a prominent fraternity gang-rape story in the news. He's not just a rapist, not just a serial rapist—he's a rape *enthusiast,* and it's why Republicans love him.

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Q: The president is coming back to Georgia on Saturday-- OSSOFF: Good. It will remind Georgians of the president's failure

eat shit

In case facts still matter — we have abandoned Ukraine in favor of Putin Russia was never a hoax

i miss when Biden had that dog that would bite everyone

This ad is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Poverty is a policy decision. Concentrated wealth is a policy decision. Inequality is a policy decision. Economic inequality is not some naturally occurring phenomenon. It is the consequence of choices. One question I always urge my students to ask: who is the market organized for — and why?

We need ads that are a montage of Trump administration fuckups punctuated with JD Vance asking people if they've said thank you

Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

In the bedrock of my soul I know he started out thinking the press pool was a literal pool and has been seething with disappointment since he discovered the mistake

the routine, pay for play pardons are all by themselves one of the worst corruption scandals in american history!

As dishonest as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As stupid as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As corrupt as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough. As mentally ill as you may think Donald Trump is, it's not enough.

President Donald Trump has no legitimate grounds to order the seizure of ballots or voting machines during this year’s midterm elections. But the dismal reality is he may try anyway. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here is a better idea: Give the whole thing to NASA and kick that meddlesome dork white supremacist back to South Africa.

The lede needs to mention that he lies like he breathes and has murdered millions of children

America is *now* an ally of Russia? I'd argue it started in 2016 when the Trump campaign and the RNC softened the language on providing lethal defensive weapons to Ukraine as part of the Manafort/Kremlin/Yanukovich "peace plan" to cede Ukrainian territory to Putin. But okay. We can go with "now".

Congressman Ted Lieu Is Right.....

There needs to be a bipartisan reckoning for a whole lotta things….

Stand with Zelensky and against Putin. Stand with Pope Leo XIV and against ICE. Stand with No Kings and against Meta. Stand with the people and against the oligarchs. Stand with liberal democracy and against Trump.

First, Thomas Teepell is not a voter. He lives in a different state. He was a political plant. Or, if you will, a paid protester. He is an agitator. Second, Abul El-Sayed responded with more patience than most people could muster. Calling him an angry, overly defensive jerk is you projecting.
