Noteworthy, I think, that the Democratic establishment are putting much more effort into stopping Mamdani than stopping Trump

Damn. First Sly and now this? RIP Brian Wilson. From the soaring, suicidally devotional harmonies of God Only Knows to the mysteriously haunting nostalgia evoked in Surf's Up, no one has written melodies that made more of the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

Because they just assume brown people are inherently criminals and are shocked to find that their racial biases are in fact just racism

It’s incredible that the President of the United States is openly flirting with suspending Habeas Corpus, disappearing people left and right, arresting judges and politicians, accepting ludicrous bribes from foreign countries, and people are still trying to normalize this shit.

It’s time for the US to guarantee healthcare to all | Bernie Sanders We spend almost twice as much per capita on healthcare as any other country on Earth. It’s time to change that

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive.

The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right.

The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

deporting people is wrong even if they are in a gang or have a criminal record

deporting people is wrong even if they are in a gang or have a criminal record

deporting people is wrong

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.

they are segregationists, it has been obvious from the jump, and i think that pundits who dismissed the charge as hyperbolic should explain why they couldn’t see the fact pattern

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Some voters got mad about people listing their pronouns, so now we're sending law-abiding, legal immigrants to torture prisons and being hit with the largest middle class tax hike in at least 40 years.

even if it can't last, what booker is doing is grinding the machinery of government to a halt so that no further appointments can be voted on or legislation passed and it's what dems should have been doing persistently since this congressional session started, taking turns, one after the other.

Hard To Handle? "That ain't nothin but ten cent lovin"

American civil society is full of abject cowards, that is the issue. The government is a mafia state but it is winning because most American elite institutions are devoid of anything resembling integrity and are folding rather than stand on principles that were little more than marketing.

This was always where it was going to go: when the President claims it can detain and remove anyone without judicial review or due process, they will try to deport and remove people without judicial review and due process.

Straight up authoritarian dictator stuff.

I would say I agree 100% that writers should be paid, and the ultimate solution is a system where there are not middle men leaching off both sides of this equation, but in the meantime what's the solution here? Only rich people can access academic texts? Poor people spend all their money on it?

Right now, we have an authoritarian president.

He called CNN "illegal." He is trying to encroach on the spending powers of Congress. He is going after the courts.

Trump does not respect our Constitution. He just wants more and more power for himself.

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion.

If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

home alone HD my family is in Florida and im in NY YouTube video by Old Hollywood Magic

So if there are no rules, let's stop living like the 1st time in Home Alone 2 that Kevin McAllister says "My family's in Florida and I'm in New York" and start living like the 2nd time when Kevin says "My family's... in Florida? And I'm in... New York!" youtu.be/yQhgBElJcZ4?...

Things are bleak and it feels like there are no rules anymore. But the absence of rules can be liberating. For sure we need massive institutional changes to be made if we're going to live in a functioning society. But if we're going to be forced to live in a chaotic society, let's embrace the chaos.

Oh, word? You sure they really cared about free speech and weren’t using respectable outlets like the New York Times to soften up higher ed for the kill?

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid:

- Millions of children will lose their health care.

- Funding for community health centers will dry up.

- Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need.

That's what happens when Musk runs the government.
