The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

"I am tired of losing and worse, I am tired of expecting to lose. We need Democrats who will use their positions of power not to constantly capitulate, compromise, and cave, but to fight-- not to say the word ‘fight’ because it’s the popular thing to do, but to actually do it and mean it."
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory

They say the rapture is tomorrow. Again.
Do you think they'll really go this time?
God, I hope so.

This makes total sense.
They’re only going after Tylenol because the president of the United States can’t say acetaminophen. 🤦♂️

Disney knows how to strongarm smaller companies if they really want to.
Disney should refuse to let Sinclair air any of their shows if they aren't going to air Jimmy Kimmel. Disney can do that. In fact they could have done that as a response in the first place.

The Trump administration is launching an assault on left wing organizations. As if that's possible.
If there was any left wing organization he wouldn't be president.

Hey, remember how Republicans used to mock the left, saying they would lose a civil war because they hate guns? It turns out they have feelings now.

Most democratic voters don't even like Democrats that much, but Republicans act like they've been indoctrinated to a religion. It doesn't make sense. Even people who don't like what's happening think the party can be rehabilitated.

So, Israel assassinated the Prime Minister of Yemen along with several of his cabinet in an airstrike last night.

One of my biggest fears with so-called "allies" against fascism is that they think it's all going to end with trump. He didn't start this, he hijacked it. This has been the Republican plan laid out by think-tanks for the last 40 years.

American gun culture and normalized bullying can explain away a lot of mass shootings.

The Democratic Party needs to get behind the progressives that are winning primaries if they want to prove they're willing to fix what's happening.

Ok, so Trump is going through everything Hitler did to seize totalitarian power in 1933. Why do people who support what Trump is doing have a problem with us calling them Nazis?

The news has covered the Wesley Bell town hall in the predictable manner. The activists were unruly disrupters who didn't appear to have a purpose.
Yes they did. Cori Bush was against the genocide in Palestine and that's why AIPAC funded Bell's campaign to unseat her.

Superman is a good barometer for people's political leanings now. It's not overtly political, except in the way that showing empathy is considered leftist, these days.
Politics aside, everyone loves the movie. If they've seen it, they love it.
Unless they listen to Ben Shapiro.

I've been out of work for a couple months, now. And I usually don't answer the phone when I'm sitting on the toilet.
But today I did, and it was a job offer. So I tried my best to not sound like I was in the bathroom while I accepted the offer.

Gangs were formed for the same reason the Black Panthers were formed, to protect their communities. The criminal activity is what they were pushed into to survive, and the crack literally came from the CIA.

AI has proven to be better at learning than Republicans. Everytime they program Grok to be right-wing it ends up course-correcting to the left after being exposed to the available facts, again.
