As someone who did vote during this ICE bullshit, so many were motivated to vote because of a) ICE bullshit and b) the Republican candidate texting us to “stop fraud,” that everyone went out of their way to vote an already non-competitive race. The Democratic candidate put up Kim Jung-Un numbers.

It's important that the people who went to the mat defending the regime's cruelty never work in a respectable profession again. If she goes to work at some right wing rag fine, but if a legacy brand hires her they need to be lit the fck up with boycotts & complaints www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

The move comes as public opinion has turned on the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

None of these lickspittles actually stand for anything beyond "whatever daddy wants." Imagine debasing yourself to such a level
Marco Rubio just flew to Budapest to deliver a speech in which he provided a full endorsement of Viktor Orbán in the upcoming Hungarian elections.
Here is the letter he signed in 2019 warning about Hungary's "downward democratic trajectory" under Orbán

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with
The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

It drives me insane that Elon Musk basically did a Holodomor on the third world and it's not treated like a bigger deal. This should be the number one thing that people know him for. This should be in the first paragraph of his Wikipedia entry. This is a history book scale atrocity.
As a direct result of the obscene actions of Russell Vought and Elon Musk in destroying USAID, we can expect “at least 9.4 million additional deaths by 2030, if the current funding trend continues.
About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5.”

Great thread of positive things Dems can run on
When Ds are back in charge, they have to change everything. No moderate half-measures. Just relentless razing of the corrupt institutions that enriched the worst people in the world and propped up fascism.

Steve Bannon talked about invoking the 25th Amendment with Jeffrey Epstein.
The conversation happened over New Year’s in 2018/2019 and included talk about how Madeleine Westerhout, the director of Oval Office ops, was “saving the world” by giving Trump oral sex.

If you can't call Trump racist even after he shared a video depicting the former First Couple as monkeys then you aren't cut out for this. Take your consultants and your focus groups and just sell your memoir

Let me tell you a tale of how completely the normies have been mobilized. My 14 year-old niece has done School of Rock for the past 5 years; last summer she was part of their touring band, and the kids loved playing together so much that they decided to keep doing it. (1/?)

In case you were wondering what one of the major lines of attack on AOC will be in 2028, it won't be about Taiwan or populism but about her belief that Israel isn't entitled to free and unlimited military assistance from the US
