Corporatists and neo-cons got the presidential campaign of their dreams. Don’t dare blame progressives.

We’re the answer, not the problem.

Biden picking Merrick Garland as AG was the most self-defeating cabinet pick since Obama picked Tim Geithner to run Treasury and bail out the same bankers who'd screwed over the people who elected Obama.

"The people who control institutions care less about the power of the institution than about their power within the institution. Thus, they would rather the institution 'fail' while they remain in power than for the institution to 'succeed' if that requires them to lose power."

The best plan to improve health care is Medicare For All.

It creates a permissive environment for horrible acts of violence

Donald Trump is too emotional to be president.

[Elie Mystal @ElieNYC]

Trump just said nobody was killed on the “other side” in January 6.

The OTHER SIDE was the BASIC OPERATION OF AMERICAN DEMOCRACY

Reuters just reported exactly what kind of bombs the US has been sending Israel.

Biden sent fourteen thousand 2,000-pound bombs – more than all other types combined.

These bombs destroy whole city blocks.

The destruction of Gaza is intentional. It's genoicde by design.

@Leahgreenb @mehdirhasan Why even ask the question? We know what he'll do, he showed us before.
