DSA shooting themselves in the dick? Must be a day ending in y

Peter Sterne@petersterne.com

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

did you know the IRS hasn't actually measured tax evasion in over a decade? due to lack of budget and workforce, the IRS is incapable of performing the random audits necessary to estimate tax evasion they've been forced to reuse the same numbers from 2016

There was a fucking hole in our planet’s *atmosphere* Like a legit, no joke, “this will unravel our entire ecosystem” hole in the world, and then we fixed it by working together across national and political lines As a species we decided, “we will survive” Let’s do that some more

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

That it'll fail because they lack sufficient consolidation and centralized control does not make it trivial that the president of the United States is trying to steal elections and produce an illegitimate sham Congress. It is open rebellion against the Constitution and morally tantamount to treason.

Every aspect of life as a gay man is unimaginably better than it was when I was born in the mid 80s. We beat the plague that was killing us by the hundreds of thousands and then won broad social and civic equality.

These are what Dems are focusing in in the first 100 hours of the next legislative session and priorities after that. They include reigning in the Iran War, ending the tariffs, reversing Medicaid/SNAP cuts and restoring ACA subsidies Outside of that ICE legislation, min wage, stock trading ban

Trump: "Ramaswamy put up a very powerful Ad about a mother saying that her daughter, Acton, is a liar, and much worse. The Press is trying to get him to 'take down the Ad.' Frankly, anybody whose mother spoke about daughter that way would normally lead to the daughter being precluded from serving"

Not at all picking on this poster, so don't let me catch you being mouthy, but the bast majority of Democrats are pro-trans and have records of being pro trans There are over 10,000 elected Democrats in fed and state gov, so don't get distracted by a small handful getting headlines being anti-trans

Yet another great reason to vote for the Democrats in 2 weeks 👇

Turtle Boy reposted

I agree with this. One amendmwnt that I think could pass is to modify the electoral college so that winning > 50% nets you some number of bonus electors but that if no candidate reaches 50% there is a second round of voting.

Former President Barack Obama issued a forceful denunciation of the Trump administration's legal pursuit of Rep. Ilhan Omar over suspicions she fraudulently obtained U.S. citizenship decades ago, an allegation the Minnesota lawmaker has called "disgusting lies." www.axios.com/2026/10/18/o...

Funny to think that these attempts at propaganda would be a lot more impactful if the fascist dipshits hadn't blown up Twitter. Few million eyes down to what, a few 10k?

Trump on Russia:

it is, quite famously, as a matter of explicit communist policy, the fact that the communist left refused to compromise with the social democrats (look up "social fascism") that allowed the *right* the space to bring hitler into power like this is all just straightforward lies

What’s astounding to me is how “the president builds himself a palace with money given directly to him in secret by the richest people in America,” literally the most straightforward and worst executive-branch corruption story in US history, just gets shrugged at because Trump is unapologetic

Q: You said you're gonna put some of your own money into the ballroom. Are you? TRUMP: I may do that. When they run out, I'll be there, okay?

Peggy Flanagan runs the kind of ad that every user on this website has been demanding Democrats run for years and the replies are just people getting mad that she didn’t use the exact words that they wanted. This website is addicted to getting mad and should knock it off. It’s embarrassing.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

Said a day after a white supremacist sought to kill people at a Hindu temple. Not a word about the anti-Indian rhetoric within his own party that has put South Asians and his own family members in danger. Instead continues to play footsie with people who see non-white citizens as guests, at best.

“It’s just not what we do in this country” means “it’s not what you’re allowed to do if you’re a Democrat”, the mainline of the Republican Party has been calling every ordinary benign good-governance Democrat Hitler-Stalin-bin Laden-Hussein-Beelzebub 9000 since before I was fucking born

hey, citizens of the inner and mid rim. stop acting like the destruction of "Alderaan" is shocking. this isn't some new thing under the "Empire." The Republic was burning planets centuries before any of you woke up, you're just mad because your precious shitlib Senators got hit

yeah what this actually is is not “lol the DCCC is broke” it’s “we think we can win way more districts than we originally thought, please give us some more money so we can run up the score” this is good and we want them to succeed

One more thing about the death penalty before going offline. As disgusted as we should be by Trump's bloodlust, we should NOT lose sight of the CENTRAL role of Democrats in upholding, expanding, and enabling this system that seems to horrify so many people right now. It really cannot be said enough.

I'm not certain but I feel like Congress gets a say in if we start importing fuel from an extremely sanctioned country, and the current dying Rep trifecta isn't really in a cooperative mood right now, and whatever shape the next Congress takes probably isn't going to be onboard either

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

Some of these quotes are too delicious: “I think the scary part is we don’t know where the bottom is” “The environment has a lot people scared to death” “People that are in R+10 districts are showing [polling that] they’re tied and they’re saying, ‘I need help’”
