A disqualified insurrectionist is in the White House, he's stolen the power of the purse, he's packed the courts, blew up the White House, engaged in a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing, and graft that would make Warren G. Harding blush. We're so far beyond "but the polls? The procedure??"

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

The biggest problem we have in the American higher education system is that administrators self-select for subservience to oligarchy and fascism. There is no fixing this root cause without a trillion dollar public investment that removes colleges' dependence on morally compromising private funding

This is the second ruling against the illegal recision of Solar For All money. In a country with rule of law in effect, that would be it -- the money would be restored. But we have to ask ourselves whether Trump will simply ignore the ruling & if so whether there will be any consequences.

When Trump launched “the largest deportation operation in the history of our country” without ICE facilities to accommodate it, inhumane overcrowding was inevitable. Judge Kaplan’s 9/24 ruling shows the results. Diagrams simulating a NYC holding cell in Aug 2025 look like slave ships. 1/5

This is definitely not about Keisha Lance Bottoms' race, gender, or class. This is about her not even trying to do the bare minimum and hoping that Jon Ossoff bails her out. Even if she lucks out this time, I would start the 2032 gubernatorial election with her on top of the ballot at tilt R.
