The Supreme Court has ruled 6-3 that it has found the crown in the gutter, picked it up by the sword, cleaned it, and placed it upon the head of the president.

And the Freedom Caucus will still be tagged as deficit hawks in the press even though they've only ever been that when it's a Democrat in the White House.

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.

I continue to think that women of a certain age have formed the backbone of democracy's defense against Trump because they carry the memory of a world where they couldn't get credit cards or rent apartments without a man's say-so, and were subject to unbelievable sexual harassment nearly everywhere
there was a gaggle of older women all in the red dresses and white hats from that one book/movie and i actually thought it was beautifully cringe in an authentic and affirming way tbh

the purpose of a protest is to demonstrate that those in power are holding power through violence rather than consent

You seem to be conflating questions of whether it's socially/legally/morally permissible to wave foreign flags with whether it's tactically/strategically wise to wave foreign flags when those you're protesting against are claiming there's a foreign invasion.
Just bc you can doesn't mean you should.

Consider two photos: one of an immigrant mother being separated from her child and another of a burning car. Which leads the news? Which focuses attention on the harms of mass deportations? A challenge of violent protest tactics is that they often shift attention away from the injustices they decry.
Those concerned about violence might want to start with violence against immigrants, by ICE here, by illegal deportations to gulags and third countries, the violence against so many federal departments, against the law, the climate, the public lands, waters, civil rights, reproductive rights...

Asked about a Dem response to a Rep. Nadler aide being handcuffed by DHS agents inside his congressional office —
@RepJeffries: “We will respond in a time, place, and manner of our choosing… it will be continuous and it will meet the moment.”
BASH: “What does that mean?”

NEW from me. In the NY Post's review of Trump's first 100 days, I critique DOGE's disappointing start - which has maximized chaos while saving just 0.1% of federal spending - and probably worsening deficits after the IRS enforcement cuts. nypost.com/2025/04/28/o...
Despite faux fanfare and outrage, DOGE hasn’t even scratched the federal budget monster
Many of my fellow fiscal conservatives cheered President Trump’s executive order establishing the “Department of Government Efficiency,” headed by billionaire businessman Elon Musk.
