They cannot crucify you if your hand is in a fist.

This is the consequences when we chose the wrong direction.

The GOP aims to kill green energy, but it's their constituents who will lose. Red-state voters “will be losing out on jobs that they would have been getting otherwise, but they might not know that.”

The U.S. Citizenship Police (ICE) will have the same share of the budget as the U.S. Army and more than 3X that of the Marine Corps.

I would like to once again remind all suburbanites, Republicans, and all those outside the tri-state area that the NYC you see on Fox News is no more real than, like, Narnia, or Atlantis.

RFK Jr. is going to kill thousands of people. That’s not hyperbole.

The idea that we can "easily" overthrow the regime in Iran is a fantasy of people that have never served. Afghanistan is back in the hands of the Taliban after 20 years of slaughter. Iraq still isn't peaceful. Libya is a war zone that's been in civil war since we dropped bombs. History is screaming!

We said if Trump was elected he would: 1. Let Israel do its worst on everyone 2. Abandon Ukraine, let Putin do his worst 3. Massively round up migrants for mass deportation 4. Impose tariffs that would wreck economy 5. Destroy fed govt 6. Try to end civil liberties 7. Retaliate So…7 for 7!

what people seem to believe is that there is a large number of criminal, layabout immigrants who can be easily found and deported. they support doing so snd are dismayed by the deportation of otherwise law abiding people. the problem is that the criminal group is imaginary!

The message is clear: cars belong in our towns, but children don't. Our society is sprinting in reverse.

People don't like the snark from @mattyglesias.bsky.social on here, but he makes some very good points. Just one example: "The solution Republicans have hit upon to avoid this political hit is what’s known in the business as lying." open.substack.com/pub/matthewy...

Blackberry flowers are gorgeous.

"Of all the cruel and unjustifiable moves the Trump administration has made on immigration, this is one of the worst: The government is ending deportation protections for people who assisted US troops in Afghanistan. It’s a broken promise of the vilest kind," writes the Times Union Editorial Board.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

So after learning from the tariff debates that the MAGA right thinks imports are bad, we're now seeing from the foreign students debate that they also think exports are bad — it's a really stupid vision of the country that will make everyone poor.

He is completely clueless about what he is doing.

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

However progressive you are and whatever your policy goals are, there’s really no way to make progress unless you can win a senate majority — that’s the bar. www.slowboring.com/p/whats-the-...

This is a big, diverse country with only two political parties so putting together electoral majorities requires the party coalitions to be pretty loose including a wide range of different kinds of people. www.slowboring.com/p/what-can-w...

thank you elon musk and donald trump for destroying this country’s ability to generate wealth for the future. we salute you. MAGA.

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

This president of the United Staes is for sale. How does that make America great? His constitution is money for himself.

Pam Bondi lobbied for Qatar & a private prison company, got paid $115K/month, then failed to disclose it during her AG confirmation. Now she’s gutted foreign lobbying enforcement under FARA and signed off on $400m planes. The corruption isn’t even subtle anymore.

We’ve become so desensitized to corruption that the Attorney General who spent years lobbying on behalf of Qatar approved a private jet gift from Qatar and it’s not even in the top 10 scandals of the week.

Meanwhile, in U.S. Concentration Camps… Yes it’s real: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Class Warfare is when top 1% uses the media to instruct you that a slight tax increase on the top 1% is Class Warfare.

This graphic is wild to me. Shows exactly how we got to this hyperpartisan state. Republicans only care about being in control. Nothing else matters. It's a cult. www.bbc.com/news/resourc...

The record is in, and it now reveals that those ammosexual gun fetishizers who sworn they needed an arsenal to stave off government “tyranny,” not only fully supported that tyranny, but bent all the way over when government obliterated the very Constitution they claimed to want to defend.

“I don’t know what the laws are.” —the president of the United States

it's all so depressing and exhausting. we need a BIG FUCKING TENT to stop donald trump, and people like Matthew Yglesias need to be part of it, and honestly even people well to the right of him if we have any hope of succeeding.

Hmmmm.

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

Erratic ignorance is a good way to keep people from knowing your true intentions, but it's a sub-optimal way to run the largest economy in history.

It’s the devil’s way now There is no way out You can scream and you can shout It is too late now Because you have not been paying attention. 2 and 2 always makes 5

we live in an extraordinarily wealthier society than our parents and grandparents. our problem is that we have not invested enough of that wealth in social goods, but i don’t think anyone actually wants to return to a time when even a “good” factory job was backbreaking labor

Am I depressed because of what's happening or am I depressed because of the people who somehow didn't see it coming? Both. It's both.

Americans need to travel more to developing countries with high #tariffs designed to spur internal, export driven, growth, like Trump wants to do in the US. This is what you see. Rich people with cool expensive imported stuff & everyone else with cheap crap. Welcome to MAGuatemala.

War is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength.

Excuse me, but did he just blame the Great Depression on tariffs being reduced prior to 1929?

This is Joey. He has left this reality and traveled to another that consists only of his toy. 13/10 we are so happy for him

Pulling Stefanik nom is a sign of GOP panic. If they think her R+20 district would be in play were she to leave, they realize they are in deep political peril re: 2026. As they are.

Moment of clarity today in the Senate where Republicans sided with big banks & against customers. Higher fees, lower transparency. Now it goes to the House - so call your Member of Congress to ask how they’ll vote!

The lying and the staggering incompetence around this is astounding. And dangerous.

Wow. Fox refused to put their longtime Chief National Security Correspondent on air since the Signal story broke because she has been honest on social media about it. www.mediaite.com/tv/fox-news-...

At least I've never hit "reply all" with military operation plans.

If DOGE found even a single instance of fraud or abuse, you would never hear the end of it.
