I’m voting no because Trump and Musk don’t want just a shutdown. They want us to stand down in our fight to protect Medicaid, Medicare, and the social safety net.

If you were looking for a unified theory explaining the last 20 years of Supreme Court politics, you could do a lot worse than “Citizens United was a direct reaction to Obama winning, and Shelby County was a direct reaction to Obama winning again”

I’ve always followed the dictum that politics should not interfere with relationships with friends and family. But my Dad fought in the Second World War and I’ve spent my entire life teaching about the virtues of self government. Preserving the republic means more to me than prolonging friendships

Between 1978 and 2023, top CEO compensation shot up 1,085%.
The typical workers' compared went up just 24% .
Workers deserve more, but they're hoarding it at the top.

The Trump regime's segregationist agenda is clear.
I argue that having a Black man as president of white America enraged a portion of this country so much, that they decided to destroy any pipeline to Black advancement in academia, government, & workplaces.

Trump's segregationist agenda is a reaction to Obama
And we need to talk about it.

And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

the biggest issue the past few years has been trying to get the White democrats/“allies” to understand and accept just how far their brothers and sisters would be willing to go to bring shit back to what they saw as under control. They spent more time scolding us for following the data about them
I want people to understand this.
For many of them, democracy ended when Obama was elected twice and Black Lives Matter rose to prominence.
This is them “fixing” a system that felt broken and newly unsafe to them.

What we all seemingly failed to understand is just how many of our "countrymen" were perfectly willing to resort to treason to end democracy. And all in service of a convicted felon and lifelong conman who wasn't even very good at it.
