You are a fucking idiot. 🙄 Schumer ground nominations to a DEAD HALT in the Senate for MONTHS. Thune CHANGED THE RULES to get around him. Jeffries forced a HISTORIC number of discharge petitions & REPEATEDLY defeated the SAVE ACT from the MINORITY. WTF do you think "fighting" looks like?

I said this in a thread last night and in a thousand threads before it, but you really are doing the work of those who would destroy democracy and the rule of law when you are a doomer. You can be aware of — and vigorously oppose — the lawlessness of this administration without insisting on doom.

The level of pure racism that leads certain people to vote MAGA is the worst kept secret in America. Oh, they’ll tell you it’s the economy, or voter fraud, or maybe the deficit even. The truth, though, is that they’re just a bunch of bigots-and thrilled to have one of their own in the White House

absolutely, and that first sentence is a crime against journalism. It assigns agency to the AI. The agency belongs with the people who programmed it, they are responsible. It is simple. The NYT should not cover for them.

It's similar to the SAVE ACT that Trump was so desperate to get passed, but the US Senate wouldn't do. No on 39. It's not needed.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

The Untold Story of The Elaine Massacre of 1919
This week marks the 107th anniversary of the Elaine Massacre of 1919, where white mobs hunted and killed Black sharecroppers who simply wanted fair cotton prices.

Published

September 28, 2026

HELENA, AK – SEPTEMBER 29: On the 100 year anniversary of the Elaine racial massacre, a memorial dedication is held for the public on September 29, 2019 in downtown Helena, Arkansas. In 1919, hundreds of African Americans were murdered after local cotton farmers tried to collectively sell their crops for a fairer price in New England. Many locals in Elaine want a memorial to be built in the town where the massacre happened, not in the local county seat where it was plotted. (Photo by Andrew Lichtenstein/Corbis vi.a Getty Images)
