⚠️ Blaming the Left was the least effective messaging for motivating Democratic voters:

i think if you want to say that the VA plan is vengeful and Becoming The Monster and all of that you need to explicitly grapple with the 2031 reset to nonpartisan redistricting.

otherwise i just kind of assume you don't realize it sunsets

the right wing claim to value 'viewpoint diversity' is the biggest not-like-that of them all

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

I have always considered myself a libertine. I had no problem with gambling. But the expansion of gambling into EVERY CONCEIVABLE CORNER of society is horrific. This is why I don't read ads for sports betting anymore.

people can't leave well enough alone. and this isn't just a gambling thing.

Trump is within sight of an under 30% overall approval rating.

One of the most important causes right now is to establish a media narrative and popular support behind severe punishments and consequences to our present criminals running things.

Disturbing image shows IDF soldier smashing Jesus statue with axe in Lebanon An Israeli soldier's horrific act of destroying a Jesus Christ statue in southern Lebanon has been confirmed by the Israeli Defense Forces.

If you weren't disturbed by the genocidal war in which Israel slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Gaza, you don't get to be disturbed by a soldier taking a sledge hammer to an inanimate object.

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

"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.

Let's call this policy what this is.

It's socialism. It's Leftism. And it's curing actual ills. Righting institutional wrongs.

It's not coming from someone who is infallible, or someone who is always correct.

It's coming from someone who promised to help and is trying to keep those promises.

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspi...

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.

The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

I'm back because the seriousness of this is being understated.

If a military leader bets that an entire town will be wiped out, and then wipes out the town, how is that a prediction if the nature of these "markets" leaves way for a guaranteed outcome?

When they've chosen friend-enemy politics, those are the politics we have now. We don't get to opt out. We just have to win, beat them until they stop moving, and then we can have a normal democratic conversation again.

Leaving aside the basic fact of its absurdity - no, the average IQ in Somalia isn’t 70 - all I see here is a couple of idiots desperate for an unearned reason to think they’re better than others. Pathetic.

The real failure to look in the mirror is academics falling back on comfortable “we’re partly responsible because we enforced left wing orthodoxy“ thinking rather than the less comfortable truth that Trump/MAGA are bad faith actors who will only be satisfied with resegregated MAGA academies

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.

one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

Ever seen a poll result that is basically telling the pollsters themselves to go touch grass?

Parker is absolutely on point here. Trust me, I have no shortage of anger for people who sat out 2024 and would love nothing more than to really lean in to a well earned "I FUCKING TOLD YOU SO," but the fact is that shit is pure poison for serious political organizing.

Suck it up and move on.

“Every program that carries the president’s name sends a message that the benefits of government flow from him personally. Not from Congress, or the Constitution, or our collective project of self-governance.”

🧵 We are horrified that Israel is continuing its campaign to destroy homes and entire villages in southern Lebanon — threatening the fragile ceasefire. 1/4

if Ds control congress, they could pass a bill to send people checks, funded by taxing billionaires. let trump veto it if he wants.

include a provision in the bill that trump's name can't be on the checks.

More local officials should take a hard stance against ICE, rather than offer the help of police or sheriffs.

Billions in foreign real estate deals while serving as head of state.

Billions in crypto deals while gutting regulation of the industry.

Suing his own government and negotiating a settlement funded by the taxpayers.

We're so numb to Trump grifting off the presidency that hardly anyone notices.

"The Trump era is what happens when you systemically under-prosecute white collar crime. There is no Donald Trump, Paul Manafort,...Steve Bannon, or Trump Org in an era where white collar crime is prosecuted with anything close to the vigor of the lowest-level drug cases in a major US city."

Defund the hostile domestic troops who wage war against the civilian population of the United States.

Man, the whole "anti-woke" moral panic just looks worse & worse in the rearview mirror.
