Tennessee people, vote for this lady this week. She's cool and she puts the country perilously close to having a single check and/or balance.

To those claiming they're for free speech while punishing and silencing those for exercising that right: You're not pro-free speech. 🤔

If the right *truly* believed Charlie Kirk was a defender of free speech and someone who was fine with dissenting opinions, they wouldn't be engaged in a massive campaign to punish anyone who didn't "mourn him properly."
They clearly know all of that is bullshit. Only the media was conned.

Charlie Kirk and his political movement think all rights are conditional on one's identity and coalition, so they imagine that anyone saying his views are reprehensible wants to strip him of all rights. They cannot imagine the concept of universal rights that apply to all, no matter one's views.
The frequency with which I’m seeing people conflate “Kirk’s views were reprehensible” with “Kirk deserved to die”—even in the face of explicit repudiation of the latter—makes me wonder if they just genuinely can’t comprehend not wanting to murder someone who they think had reprehensible views.

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

Great job by SCOTUS greenlighting these firings as well while trying to carve out a made up exception to the fed. Your precious financial system will fail because you are absolute amoral cowards.

What's endlessly frustrating about these stories is the implication that if he weren't a US citizen, this treatment would be excusable & acceptable.
US citizen and Army vet was on his way to job as a security guard. Federal agents smash car window, pepper-spray him, and lock him in jail for three days with no charges, no lawyer, and no way to wipe off pepper spray. Family had no idea where he was.
“I let ICE agents know that I’m a US Citizen."

Army vet calls for investigation after being detained for three days in ICE raid
George Retes, a U.S. citizen, was held for three days after getting caught up in an immigration raid in Ventura County.

The white students who are struggling to make ends meet are not struggling because Black and immigrant students got into our university. They are struggling because of a shitty social safety net & high tuition because people like Andreesen don't pay sufficient taxes/the state doesn't pay its share.

Excellent framing by @mattyglesias.bsky.social: "Medicaid savings" = denied medical care

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I know the media is going to unthinkingly start using “Alligator Alcatraz,” but it’s disgusting and sadistic and I intend to call it what it is, a fucking concentration camp, and fuck those people who are doing this and giving it a cutesy name.

Zohran winning tonight is the opening salvo on a corrupt gerantocratic democratic establishment. Primary all of the old establishment and let the next generation take over.
This is how we take on the oligarchs controlling the Democratic party.

Zohran Mamdani & Zack Polanski both show that a new politics can emerge with public support.
Immigrants, trans kids, the poor, disabled etc aren't the reason for the mess we are in. It's billionaires, backed up by right wing and liberal politicians. Take them on, we can win.
