I guess it’s spooky name season. Will I remember to change it in November?

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

Crazy idea: Democrats should defend immigration and immigrants, run on the idea that immigrants make America great, and stop Homer Simpsoning themselves into the shrubbery every time Republicans try to demagogue it.

Kotlikoff clearly sucks, but I’m worried they’ll give him the boot, and then do absolutely nothing to address the structural issues that allowed this to happen in the first place.

Bro, if your doctor is doing a cognitive test every time you get a physical, there’s a reason for that, and it’s not because you keep acing them.

The last time Trump lost the Presidency and tried to overturn the results, we also voted in unprecedented numbers but nothing happened to the people behind J6 because Biden & Co were too scared to jail Trump. The People did their job, Jon. This is about what you guys in power didn't do.

just a casual reminder that inciting violence against his political opponents and others he dislikes has been a core feature of Donald Trump's approach for more than a decade. It is a defining characteristic of Trump and his movement, but rarely centered as such by corporate media.

To start with, this is happening because the president has targeted a member of Congress as part of a broader explicitly racist hate campaign against Americans of a particular ethnic origin. There's no other way to put it.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

BTW, the reason these guys get so offended when Trump etc is accurately called a racist/rapist/criminal is because they knew all of this and voted for him anyway. They know where the party they spent their lives defending is now and they’re afraid of how it reflects on them. That’s the whole thing.

I hope White House & Pentagon reporters will demand an explanation as to how the administration plans to prevent children from accidentally or intentionally witnessing a live execution. In addition to the general barbarism, there are significant dangers to the public from this nonsense.

If we do not immediately eliminate the death penalty in the United States we are not only a barbaric nation but a willfully vicious and bloodthirsty one with a "pro-life" court whose hypocrisy puts Robespierre to shame.

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants. Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

It's been such a long few years, I'd forgotten this particular rape accusation against Hegseth. The woman told police she may have been drugged. Hegseth, who was married to one woman and had just had a baby with another, said it was consensual but paid her $50k to settle. He was confirmed anyway.

And this is why abandoning trans people is politically stupid. It doesn’t matter what you say, they’ll still try to use it against you. Instead of throwing trans people under the bus, try changing the narrative.

Providing chairs when job duties don’t really require standing is a textbook example of a reasonable accommodation. Taking away chairs, thereby forcing disabled workers to put in formal requests to aggressively hostile employer, can be a pretty effective way of pushing people out of their jobs.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

The lesbian bar story is mean and small-minded and a lot of the people laughing about it have never done any kind of organizing in their lives. BUT it is a very good story about how communities get hijacked by bad-faith actors who are enabled by leadership that doesn't want to upset anybody.

Uncertanity is driving most of this. It's pretty simple - the economy is shaky right now, the federal budgets are unknown, research funds are being messed with, state budgets are real stressed generally, international student enrollments... yea, and who knows what enrollment will truly look like?
