Not to repeat the obvious, but this is literally lawless behavior that makes a mockery of the Constitution and judicial system, should result in contempt prosecution for anyone involved, and disbarment of any lawyers

Unless Congress reclaims its power, this will just become the new normal. A good first step would be to impeach Vought. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/u...

National Science Foundation Diverted $1.4 Billion in Science Funds Mandated by Congress
The move, affecting about one-fifth of the National Science Foundation’s primary research budget, is the latest sign of how the White House is asserting more control over grants.

Breaking character: I hate to use this account for political strategizing but the ball needs to get rolling on this....when Dems take the House they've got to focus on impeaching Hegseth. He can be be blamed for the Iran war plus he's a drunk and a criminal.

Americans have a strong aversion to admitting a basic fact about reality. which is that one political party is actually clearly worse than the other so they come up with explanations for whats wrong with America that isn't "The Republican Party is evil" in this case "old people!"

I support Rahm Emanuel running for President because he might distract the wrecker caucus online long enough that they fail to ratfuck the actual eventual winner because they were so obsessed with making sure he failed to reach 5% in New Hampshire.

and never forget--framing and aesthetics supersede the actual text, ALWAYS. even if the villain DOES look into the camera and say "what i'm doing is bad," if the framing, subtext, etc., present those actions as sympathetic, then the audience will (CORRECTLY) read the disavowal as superficial

The republicans are running a campaign solely based on hatred for trans people because hey have nothing else to run on. If all the democrats that Erin wants to lose loses, the lesson that everyone will take from it is that the Democrats lost because they were too pro trans rights.

To my recent point about the left needing to develop propaganda literacy as one of the top three most critical tactical advances, everyone needs to emblazon, “Not sharing the disinfo/propaganda because that’s what they want” on their eyeballs. Repeat it as a mantra three times before you log on.

a lot of people want to believe that right-wing beliefs are rooted in some legitimate material grievance. that makes it easier to imagine that if we simply solved the material problem, they’d deradicalize. but they won’t, because they aren’t disillusioned, they’re just morons.

Yes. Social shaming/ shunning/ (incl. deplatforming) is one of the few ACTUAL interventions for harmful social movements AS A GROUP. Social-group-level interventions for social ills. Individual *interventions* (for example a cult member) are a *different* thing with a different goal.

I get that American popular culture still hasn't recovered from the post-9/11 wave of police worship, but it still kills me when media that passes for daringly political in the year 2026 shies away from the level of disdain for cops routinely exhibited by children's cartoons circa 1996.

Trump is not a king and he cannot force the American people to live with his monstrosities extra-legally imposed on our territory. It’s scarcely any different than letting an invading power install statues on federal land. His self-monuments are offensive to our sovereignty and must be flattened.

Domestic abuse and rape represent the rejection of camaraderie, love, principle, and human dignity in favor of brute domination of the weak by the strong, and in that sense it is the paradigm of the MAGA ethos.

The politics of asking normal people to pay for their share of the cost of providing high quality public services will get easier if we start with taxing the ultra-wealthy at higher levels, even if the revenue that raises won't be enough.
