we need to bring the hammer down on wealthy and connected elites. it’s been desperately needed for a long time. regardless of party or politics.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Charlie Kirk spent his life making people like me unsafe. His followers sent me death threats for years and threatened my employer if they didn’t terminate me.

His work was NEVER about free speech. It was about hate and emboldening violent people. The dishonesty of the past 24hrs is disgusting.

Ezra Klein isn’t theorizing Charlie Kirk. He is theorizing politics. And he is saying that Charlie Kirk’s brand of white supremacy was a good way of doing politics.

I hope you all recognize now that Ezra is a total fucking ghoul

my gf says we can't rewatch righteous gemstones until 2027, so as a nation we really need to hold it together at least until then everybody

In November 2024, I made a list of things I thought the fascism theory of Trumpism predicted could happen.

And if targeting trans people and the unhoused is somehow a "purity test" for you, then what the fuck are you actually fighting for and against?

I'm serious: If the literal things our enemies are doing are not bad enough for you to say "hey maybe this guy isn't actually on my side," then *What Is*?

I know we're all desperate for anyone at all to fight back against trump, but Newsom's not a hero, here. He's not even a good person. He's a transphobe & actively, proudly destroying tent shelter encampments *With His Own Hands*.

This is prime LetThemFight Dot Gif & we get to take down the winner.

I need people to understand:

1. Every US state already evicts more people annually than all of the EU combined

2. In most states, having a disability, health emergency, or a financial hardship is not a defense to an eviction suit

3. In most states, there is no right to counsel in eviction cases
"Trump is preparing to revoke eviction protections for people living in federal public housing and project-based rental assistance programs."

"[I]n some jurisdictions, people [..] could receive no notice at all before formal eviction procedures begin."

If you want a sharp analysis of the history of repression in the district this book is a good place to look.

After Hurricane Katrina, it was discovered that white vigilantes went around just shooting any and all black people they came across after the news whipped them up about 'looters'.

Here they are celebrating on camera.

Over 600 ended up missing.

Many of them likely shot by these organized gangs.

It's a big club and you ain't in it
I was told, over and over, that Andrew Cuomo is "a fighter" and that's why people should support him. You know, to fight Trump.

Turns out, no surprise, he's only "tough" against his victims and the candidate duly chosen by Democratic voters.
Bombshell report from The New York Times reveals that President Donald Trump spoke directly to Andrew Cuomo about how to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/n...
