“Resistance liberals are truly committed to liberal values such as individual rights, democracy and a pluralistic society.”

Exactly. Liberty and justice for all. Has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?

the tech fascists think they are so clever and smart but their entire worldview is just a bunch of stale apologetics for race hatred and fascism

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

Struggling to not make this my whole identity right now

Never give up, never surrender!

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it.

IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated

W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1990: 25%

Baby pic of my son announcing his decision to attend UC Berkeley majoring in Political Science.

So social media might be a horrible contagion ruining much of our lives, but then there’s something like this, which may be one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.

Obviously, I’m incredibly proud of my kid.

The worst case scenario here is that Trump effectively cedes the Presidio to tech oligarchs so they can build the first "freedom city", which are essentially factory towns exempt from federal regulations:

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school.

Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon!

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Right? There’s nothing calming about watching a bullpen implode. Or your team be shut out. Or both simultaneously.

Thank god. Christ.

But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Just reiterating the message we spelled out on the beach not even two weeks ago…

Jesus wept.

I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence.

Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

This man’s great-grandfather made millions of people Americans And his family knows what happens when America tries to take that back.

For over a century, Wong Kim Ark’s case has served as the definitive interpretation of the 14th Amendment: All children born in the United States are automatically US citizens.
