I would like to see a decent candidate for retiring Durbin's seat here in Illinois. I think Biss would be a good option. He could drop out of the House race and go for the Senate.

We need to draft him or somebody else with some fight.

A lot of the left seems to support this guy, and we could do a lot worse, such as Chuck Schumer. I think he'd be a good candidate normies and leftists could get behind.
I’ve voted 7 times to reopen the government in a way that holds Trump accountable for his lawlessness and prevents a health care crisis.

I’m prepared to work toward a compromise, but this “deal” before us does not come close to meeting those terms. Voting NO.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

The wallet inspector promised me he'd think long and hard about giving our wallets back this time, so I gave him our wallets. It's OK, he gave me assurances!

The Democrats just had a big night last Tuesday, seen by everyone as a rebuke to Trump. Naturally, the pathological losers like Schumer urgently felt the need to crumble before the Republicans tonight. The Schumer types are barely better than the Republicans. They enable fascism.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I'd add a reduction in the work week for the same pay and universal childcare. These are all very doable and necessary goals. If properly implemented they would have the happy side effect of crushing Trumpism. 🪳🔨
and honestly im sick of not pushing back on this specifically

you want to advance human civilization?

- universal health care
- ubi
- green energy
- high speed rail and public transportation
- free education through college

It is actually much more realistic to implement a 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay than hoping for robot butlers. Then people would have more time for their housework and leisure.

Of course the tech oligarchs pretend like 32 hr week is moonbeam fantasy.
if you believe fully autonomous robot butlers are just over the horizon you are actually one of the dumbest motherfuckers alive and we should take your money from you so we can put it towards something worthwhile

Most of these trad caths have been nominally catholic for about 8 months and are completely unaware of the concept of Catholic social teaching.
state of the trad catholic discourse on the other site is debating whether undocumented immigrants should be able to receive the Eucharist if you were wondering how that was going

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.
A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

In Italy labor unions helped start a network of left-leaning news/music radio stations that have become some of the staples of public information in much of the country. They now run on a donation / ads model, but initial investment was from labor. I think about this often.
The AFL-CIO should start throwing some money towards labor journalism. If it was done right (i.e. with them accepting that journalists must have full editorial control over what’s published, whether or not union leaders like what they have to say) it could really have such a hugely positive impact

The right is trying to rewrite the history of the early pandemic, that the mitigation efforts were nothing but cruelty by the Democrats.

These were emergency measures from the medical community to try to stop hospitals from being overwhelmed. Doctors and nurses were wearing trash bags. Heroes.

Nothing to this one but venting: The transphobes are the most cowardly of bigots, people so terrified of what's in their pants & what's not in their hearts that they make it a calling to terrorize those who've done the work to know who they are. Mice have more courage, slugs have more grace.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.
