Being in a fraternity or sorority … You are not Greek. It is not Greek life. Stop appropriating and associating Greek with such a disgusting and disgraceful system. Ευχαριστώ πολύ

It's worth noting that this isn't a random number but a goal that would simply restore the court to an earlier norm in which there's one justice for each of the judicial circuits. We used to have nine, we now have thirteen. The people defending the current setup have the tougher case to make here.

It's not hard and, as I noted here, it's an approach Democrats have used before to incredible success.

No, he took a swing at the president, noting that the president would rather spend time with her on his plane than do his job. If I complain that my son is spending all his time at the beach instead of doing chores, I am not actually "taking a swing at the beach"

I'll post this CAMPAIGN TRAILS piece again for the alleged liberals who refuse to listen to reality -- you need leftists in the Democratic Party. The "moderates" who are attacking them are only worried about keeping their own jobs, not the success of the party. Punching left is a con.

Today’s Democratic Socialists are just FDR democrats from ~100 years ago. What exactly are people afraid of? I mean other than the elimination of shareholders extracting all the benefits and profits from the communities they exploit.

Another "run of the mill" corruption story - relevant to today's hearing on Trump's Attorney General nominee: It's the story of Grab A Gun, a company that put Don Jr. on its board and (VOILA!) got DOJ to change gun regulations to give it a corrupt head start in the market.

A final thought: the most important, efficacious, & sizeable faction on the left is plain old normie Dems, "wine moms," "resistance libs," whatever condescending term you prefer. They're the ones doing the actual work. But they are largely ignored by media, because they're organized & led by women.

We say goodbye to a man who refused to accept the world as it was. Jesse Jackson didn’t just march in history he helped write it. He stood in the long shadow of Martin Luther King Jr. and refused to let that dream fade when the cameras left and the crowds went home.
nbcnews.com
Rev. Jesse Jackson, civil rights icon and two-time presidential candidate, dies at 84
“Our father was a servant leader — not only to our family, but to the oppressed, the voiceless, and the overlooked around the world,” the Jackson family said in a statement Tuesday.

Maybe A General Strike Isn’t So Impossible Now - PopularResistance.Org
Trump’s attacks on working people — threats to send troops into major U.S. cities, ripping collective bargaining rights from a million federal workers, an immigration enforcement terror campaign that borders on unconstitutional — have been so extreme that many people are talking about a general strike. These calls are coming not just from the usual suspects, but even from my own mayor, former Chicago Teachers Union leader and organizer Brandon Johnson. We’ve all heard calls for a general strike before — usually not as a serious proposal or strategy, but as a reaction to the attacks that working people face on a regular basis from existing political and economic power.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.
