Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

Following a rich white man to war because you didn’t like the sound of a black woman laughing will go down in American history as one of the stupidest things ever.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

The thing about the Khalil case is that it's very very good that he's free now but you can't have it take three months between "the government kidnaps you off the street for no basis reason whatsoever" and "a judge makes them let you go." You just can't.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

Pass it on

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Evergreen tweet:
To the “both sides are the same!!” crowd, if you TRULY believed that then you shouldn’t be upset about what’s happening right now.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Tariffs.
Stock market down.
Medicaid slashed
Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans.
National guard and marines deployed in LA.
No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine
Bombing Iran

This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do!

My god the Matt Gaetz AG thing has suddenly tipped me into laughing. These creeps are all so viciously stupid and they hate and distrust each other SO MUCH. Maybe they’ll all spend so much time going after each other that they won’t be able to get any evil chores done

Hi! Can someone please direct me to the dog videos and Dolly Parton sections? Much appreciated.

PS: #GeorgeCarlin was right. About everything (more or less).

Seems like as good a first post as any, what with the global dumpster fire and all...
