It's interesting how everything people used to proudly call "public" when I was growing up (public parks, public libraries, public schools, public transportation, public television, etc) is suddenly "socialist" now that rich people are spinning it.

The 2026 and 2028 elections are going to be decided by gerrymandering.
I don't want to hear of a single Democratic state legislature that isn't fully committed to maximizing the gain in seats for the party.
This is a political war that needs to be won.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.
Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.
Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

ICE is a murderous secret police force. We’re about to bomb Iran for Israel. Your kids are shot at in school daily, and pedophiles run our government. There’s no healthcare, and your food is poisonous.
We need real leaders - not career politicians.

It is interesting to note where we are in terms of the dying Empire. We are no longer lying about colonial imperialism and the use of force abroad. We are still lying about the violence being used in the imperial core. One wonders how long that will continue.

Seeing Rumeysa Ozturk snatched off the street by masked thugs evoked the actions of so many tyrannies: The Basij is Iran, Mukhabarat in Egypt or Syria, Mano Blanca in Guatemala & El Salvador, FRAPH in Haiti. They're practicing on foreigners, they'll move onto citizens soon enough.

Little Marco up there defending the New SS. @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov y'all voted to confirm this ghoul why, exactly?!
Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

I was thinking the same thing! US out there just casually causing huge numbers of collateral casualties, no wonder they're backing Israel's reckless genocide
Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

People are pushing back even if you don't see it on the nightly news
Happening now: outside the IL State Board of Investments meeting in downtown Chicago, activists are rallying against ISBI Treasurer & Vice Chair Michael Frerichs.
Frerichs is responsible for increasing the state's investment portfolio in war weapons manufacturers like Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
