Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

all I’m gonna say is that I am a life-long slightly edgy poster and I’ve never caught a suspension or a ban anywhere - because it is in fact quite easy to avoid crossing the “this joke could possibly be construed as a violent threat” line on social media

While US venture capitalists were buying monkey jpegs, and DOGE coins, and figuring out how to get Black women fired, and tweeting about white birthrates, and trying to mandate which bathroom trans kids should use, China was making progress on climate change and taking the lead in a real industry.

OK, kids, time for the next Nancy or LBJ to step up. America needs a strong Democratic whip next year, and Jeffries ain’t it.
JUST IN: Nancy Pelosi, the first female speaker of the House, won't seek re-election, ending a nearly 40-year career in Congress.

The California Democrat led her party in the House for two decades. Her decision will open up her San Francisco-based seat for the first time in nearly 40 years.

It is not un-American to call out Donald Trump’s cruelty, corruption and dishonesty, and it is not antisemitic to call out Benjamin Netanyahu’s cruelty, corruption and dishonesty.

Hundreds joined the #NoKings protest in Anaconda, Montana yesterday, while less than a dozen MAGAs held a counter-protest across the street. One of them (the black hat) was a member of Philipsburg Town Council wearing a sidearm on his hip.

If you disagree with Justin, that’s because you’re lazy and ignorant. Smart people who do their research always agree with Justin, according to Justin.
There are basically only two positions in the debate about AI.
1. I’ve barely invested any time in learning how to use it effectively. AI sucks.
2. I’ve invested in learning how to use this tool. Holy cow, it’s transformational.
Position #1 has lower barriers to entry.

WTF does "a more all-embracing approach" mean? Giving lies and junk science equal billing to the facts? Embracing Christian fascism? Covering the benefits of school shootings and the dangers of eradicating diseases like measles and polio?

Sounds legit.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*

Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

We need a Mamdani on the national scene before it’s too late.
This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)
