Egalitarian first and foremost. Socialist. Anti-Fascist.

Socialism is a scare word they've hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.

Tom Cotton learned about the Sotomayor story because the AP uncovered it and wrote about it.

Anyway, here's the post last week where I explained precisely how this would play out. Maybe ask your fucking friend, George Conway, why this is okay.

Oh my god people, I get why many of you are saying "The market will provide" but the point is that this is supposed to be ILLEGAL, and was A MONTH AGO.
The maybe invisible hand of free market cancelling is NOT the thing that is suppose to secure basic rights and human dignity.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

This is EXACTLY what I've been talking about with the breach in public accommodation laws created by the Supreme Court. Now any bigot with dream feels emboldened to deny services to members of the public.

I love this argument so much.

It's only a war crime if you signed an agreement saying you wouldn't do it!

If the US withdrew from the Geneva Convention tomorrow, we could boil POWs alive in giant pots day after tomorrow and, voila, Not A War Crime.

As the AfD ascends to record highs in polling (21% in a new poll), a reminder that the party has campaigned in favor of German exit from the EU ("Dexit") and says they want to dissolve it in favor of a different bloc

[Max @egaliteseeker]

@WajahatAli Centrists are de facto enablers of fascism based on their support for this “both sides” BS that seeks to whitewash fascism and make it more palatable for the mainstream. Same thing happened in Germany in the 1920’s-30’s.

@ABC Oh no, the Hitler followers are upset.

@VoxPrudentia There’s standing for me, and then there’s standing for thee - 6 conservative justices

[Unwilling Banana Republican @VoxPrudentia]

Reminder that Adolph Lyons was literally choked 5 months before he filed his lawsuit and the Supreme Court told him his worry about being illegally choked again was too speculative to confer standing.

[Bad History Takes @bad_histories]

Ah yeah. It's not like non-white people lived in metropolitan France or that France controlled large portions of Africa in 1902. Or that 12 years later hundreds of thousands of non-white soldiers fought for France.
That would be crazy.

A @nytimes investigation found that the 600+ deaths from the migrant ship disaster were entirely preventable.

The ship was adrift for almost 7 hours. People waited for rescue. No one came.

[Eric Schultz @EricSchultz]

an aggressive Supreme Court press corps would chase this until the Justices were forced to respond

[Max @egaliteseeker]

@JediCounselor @EdWhelanEPPC It’s seriously hilarious that a lawyer has this bad of a legal take. Astounding, really.

[Max @egaliteseeker]

@EdWhelanEPPC So in one case, there was an injury, and in the other, the injury was hypothetical. Can you not see the difference? Are you that stupid/disingenuous?

Worker: I can't live on $7.25/hr

GOP: So go to college

W: I can't afford $100K tuition

GOP: Take out loans

W: I can't afford to pay these at 8% interest

GOP: No one forced you to go to college

W: But you just said—

Billionaire: I NEED MORE MONEY!

GOP: Here's a $2T Tax Cut

The party that *claims* to be so so concerned about kids in our schools, and about ‘grooming’ and inappropriate stuff for children, is also doing stuff like this:

@RepKenBuck You mean the most subsidized occupation in the country? That type of farmer? The one taxpayers have been subsidizing our entire lives?

One of the richest men in the history of mankind, casually endorsing the end of voting rights for Americans without children.
