They know their policies are unpopular, and they are afraid of losing. So what do they try to do? Cheat.

If your big idea is “cheat harder,” maybe it’s time to rethink your politics.

Republicans in Texas just rolled out their proposed Congressional map that cut 5 Democratic seats out of thin air.

Let’s be clear: these maps are not about representation, it’s a power grab to silence voters and suppress votes.

@kirstengillibrand.bsky.social How dare you spew baseless racist & Islamophobic ideas about Mamdani. You are putting his life,
& the lives of other citizens at risk, not to mention stoking the flames of fear & hatred. Apologize & resign. Zohran cares about us, you clearly do not. Shame on you!

I need y'all to sit with this headline and understand what is being done to our community. They're trying to criminalize our very existence.

This is a campaign of eradication.

Donald Trump's nominee for Solicitor General argued last year that the President could assassinate political opponents and, barring impeachment first, he could not be prosecuted him for it.

Even today, he embraces that dangerous view.

The FAA is close to canceling a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon to overhaul the communications system that serves as the backbone of the nation’s air traffic control and is awarding the work to Musk’s Starlink. Follow the money and see where it goes.

The New Yorker poetry editor Kevin Young reflects on James Baldwin’s “Letter from a Region in My Mind,” an essay that caused a sensation when it was published, in 1962, and has proved wildly influential ever since.

The essay served as a definitive diagnosis of American race relations. Events soon gave it the force of prophecy.

MORE CAMPUS REPRESSION:

A network of Columbia professors, alumni, & parents are pushing behind the scenes to deport pro-Palestine student protestors

"Arresting them for hate crimes is not enough. We have to get rid of them”

For some members of the “Columbia Alumni for Israel” WhatsApp group, speaking out for Palestine and criticizing Israel are tantamount to supporting Hamas.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

It’s a coup. That’s what’s happening. It doesn’t matter if it’s only been two weeks. Impeachable offenses aren’t like wine. They don’t need to age.
If Dems don’t call it impeachable now, it won’t be effective to call it impeachable later. Go on record now.
