i think that if you are an upper income writer living in a major urban area complaining about “the laptop class” — really, if you are a knowledge worker of any kind complaining about the “laptop class — you have an obligation to quit your job and go work in a factory for a year
Apparently Mamdani voters are the most privileged class in history AND are bitter about having no money and living in an apartment with 3 roommates into their 30s.

Pick a damn lane.

Fox hosts, parroting DHS, claimed Sen. Padilla "ran at,” "lunged at," and tried to “bum-rush” Kristi Noem. Video disproves their claims, showing Padilla standing calmly across the room asking his question as security grabs him.

Trump is punishing the people who voted for him
NYT found the “big beautiful bill” would be the largest transfer from the poor to the rich in a single law since at least 1990.

In fact, it would be the largest transfer *ever.*

Reagan’s low-income cuts were MUCH smaller - and his tax cuts were done separately. And before him, nothing comes close.

dear media:

no one needs to hear about the complex inner life and conflicted humanity of Trump supporters, thanks.

at this historic juncture they have precisely one relevant characteristic:
they are fascists

and for society to endure, all fascists must be crushed

In the spirit of Hegel the solution to someone who processes to belive in survival of the fittest is to immediately begin to beat them to death, if they have a problem with it then they should have just been fitter

we still have each other, and the people who are trying to selfishly and cynically destroy this world in the flickering moments before they die hate that we believe in a future after us and they do not. it's cliche and repeated beyond meaning, but please do not let the bastards bring you down.
i guess it is -- as always -- incumbent on us to not get defeated and to keep looking after our loved ones and neighbors but i confess i am increasingly disoriented and angry. gotta bear up and solider on i suppose

Caroline Dias Goncalves was pulled over in Colorado for a traffic violation and let go with a warning. A few miles down the road, she was stopped again, this time by ICE agents, who said they were taking her.
A relative says she was given no reason why.

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher.

I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.
We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals.

To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.

But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.
