If your big attack on oligarchy and authoritarianism is stealing a lil treat in a way that doesn’t get you in trouble I’m not sure how to explain to you that you’re a spoiled child

republicans will yowl and piss and moan and that to my mind is all the reason to do it

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

Inner Calvinism rules everything on this site.

"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."

There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.

– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76

37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Dems voted to BAN partisan gerrymandering.

Republicans all voted to keep it.

So Dems threw up their hands & said, “Well, if that’s how you want to play it…”

They’re just shocked that Democrats finally fought dirty right back at them. Finally.

BREAKING: The YES vote will WIN Virginia’s redistricting referendum, allowing Democrats to redraw maps ahead of the midterms and potentially flip the state from 6–5 to 10–1 — a four-seat swing that could decide control of Congress.

ICE detained more than 70 Minnesota children, data reveals Immigration officials detained more than 70 Minnesota children between Dec. 1 and March 10, a Sahan analysis of court records and federal deportation data shows.

Trump claimed "Operation Metro Surge" targeted the "worst of the worst." In reality, ICE ripped 70 kids away from their families, friends, and schools.

Our children deserve justice and accountability. That starts with abolishing ICE.

I don’t think the current incarnation of the DOJ is going to be able to successfully take a shop as big and well-funded as the SPLC but the use of the goverment to attack civil society is bad

Yesterday, 8 children were killed in Louisiana in the deadliest U.S. mass shooting since 2024.

Today is the 27th anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre, where 13 lives were taken.

A YES vote TODAY doesn’t slow down the rigging machine—it STOPS it dead through 2031. ✋
April 21, 6am–7pm. Same-day registration at your polling place. If you’re in line by 7pm, you VOTE. Period.
Democracy doesn’t wait. Neither should we.

And just to be clear, all of these people were always crazy assholes. They may have positioned themselves as moderate or liberals or whatever but they were always insane assholes. And they dominated a lot of popular discourse.

(2/X) the debate was between Camille Paglia and Naomi Wolf. Also both Trumpers now.

An enormous percentage of the self-promoting gasbags of 90s political/"culutural" tv became Trumpers.

There's a reason why things are so fucked up now.

(1/X) People sometimes wonder how things got so crazy in this country. Well, look back at the '90s: for Clinton impeachment, you had Alan Dershowitz on Geraldo arguing against impeachment and Jon Turley arguing for it. All three of course became Trumpers.

On various topics around feminism....
