These people are not owed their positions. You do not need to wait for them to retire- as we’ve seen, they won’t. They’ll die in office unless someone forces them out by primary.

And no more of this “respect your elders” bs. They’ve done nothing to earn that respect.

misogynists love to call women prostitutes (also love to use words like slut, whore, hoe etc) because they view it as an easy way to degrade and humiliate women. It gives them a sense of power, and demonstrates how they view women through an objectifying lens. Whether women engage in sex work or not, this language and behavior is employed to police women’s choices and strip them of their full personhood

trump is starting a war with venezuela over a drug cartel that doesn't exist to install a right wing puppet president who will sell the largest known oil reserves on earth to exxon mobil and we all need to take it more seriously

In laymen’s terms: it’s over.

The white folks in Louisiana sued saying b/c most Black & Latino people vote Democrat here, redrawing districts to represent us discriminates against them b/c they vote GOP almost unilaterally.

When they rule, EVERY SOUTHERN STATE can redraw ANY majority minority district to favor Republicans/whites.

With Section 2 of The Voting Rights Act gutted, there will be no voting our country out of this. The Republicans will control the government for at least a generation if not indefinitely.

It’s a complete takeover of the United States of America by a fascist government.

1. Next school year, thousands of high school students in Oklahoma will be required to learn about Trump's debunked claims that the 2020 election was tainted by fraud.

The lesson will not be part of a course on conspiracy theories, but an official component of the new social studies curriculum.

It’s fun that it’s always how “you” and “your kids” will work in the factory, never “we” and “our kids.” Fun times.

[Aaron Regunberg @AaronRegunberg]

This is *profoundly* important. Fighting for Abrego Garcia was not just morally necessary, it was politically adept. The centrist Dems who urged us (as they always do) not to make a stand aren’t just cowards — they’re political idiots! They must never be listened to again.

[Eoin Higgins @EoinHiggins_]

We all know where this is going

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is what white supremacy looks like. We have white supremacist administration that wants to erase the African-American fight against slavery and downgrade Harriet Tubman.

[ape attack survivor @pissvortex]

There is not a single question any of you “skeptics” have that has not already been soundly answered by medical consensus, you just don’t like the answer and think continuing to ask questions makes you smart

[remilutionary remist @RedemocracyTH]

the point of journalism should never be to present all sides; it should be to present the truth. stop platforming a bunch of random misinformed people like their opinions have equal weight against actual qualified experts (but it wouldnt be profitable would it).

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

He behaves like a child but, worse, the media treats him like a child.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

My biggest fear is that Republicans have rightly assumed that whatever they get rid of, or break, or undermine, Democrats won’t have the guts or enthusiasm to bring back. This will be the new normal.

[ellory smith @ellorysmith]

I think a lot of us need to understand these choices are not about saving money. They are about privatizing public goods for the enrichment of the very few.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

"Trump will screw up" isn't actually a strategy

[Sam Stein @samstein]

Two parties running at different speeds.

Senate Dems are holding a press conference today to condemn the pardoning of J6ers. That was done a week ago.

Unclear if there is a presser today to go after the OMB's power play to take over all federal grant money.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

All just a big coincidence!

[Kylie Cheung @kylietcheung]

going to be so fun and exciting when absolutely nothing happens from this yassss
