Almost everything you are hearing in mainstream news about the supposed lack of popularity of progressive policies on police and prisons is a lie. Shifting resources from police/punishment to social services is one of the most consistently popular policies polled for 40 years.
Watching some progressives on here talk about “Woke 1,” as though what they’re dismissing and rolling their eyes at wasn’t a movement born out of the lynching of Black Americans by police. The way they laugh away the supposed semantic “surpluses” of 2020 onward is exactly how they will* whittle away anti-genocide sentiments and positions for the sake of the Democratic Party.
This is so embarrasing. On the anniversary of Michael Brown's murder by the Ferguson Police Dept, "Woke 1 was crazy" is such an insensitive way to capture the spirits of people who put all of them in office
Facts. Still here. Not straying. Standing ten toes down with the people and movements fighting for a safer and healthier city. You won’t find me repudiating the moral and effective policies that will keep us safer just because political popularity/winds shift back and forth.
And every single Christian talking like this has already rejected, y'know, Christ.
Remember when Nancy Mace was pretending she was better than the racists?
You simply cannot believe Gaza is a genocide, as Lawerence allegedly does, while supporting the genocide’s primary champion in the party. Jeffries is the top recipient of AIPAC money in the House, spreads genocidal propaganda and spoke at a pro genocide pep rally in late 2023.
The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

Many police are defending Flock cameras & other AI tools saying, “It makes our job easier.”
News flash: Your job isn’t supposed to be EASY! It’s supposed to be restrained, heavy, and encumbered by the burden of proof, probable cause, the presumption of innocence, and always subject to OUR civil liberties!!!
A free society is not about making things convenient for the state, it’s about protecting the individual FROM the state. So many people have forgotten this.
Note this was Tanya’s major journalistic contribution: denying mass starvation in Gaza by arguing those starving already had genocide-related illness. This is who is rising up the ranks of mainstream media in 2026
the funny thing about this fetishization of “heritage Americans” and old stock WASPs is that the average Black American is way more likely to be descended from those people than the average white person but we don’t claim them because they were piece of shit rapists. Angela Davis is literally descended from a Mayflower passenger.
British band Massive Attack is under police investigation in Singapore after members held a Palestinian flag on stage during their July 29 concert, sparking “Free Palestine” chants from the crowd.
Under local law, the act can carry a fine of up to SGD 5,000 and/or six months in jail.
The anger over Zohran Mamdani is pure Muslim-hatred. Mayor Mamdani has never said one antisemitic thing they can point to. The fact that this is tolerated in mainstream media and political circles is evidence that Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism is the "acceptable" racism in the US today.
