When this national nightmare is finally over, no pardons. No “This is necessary to heal the country.” Public trials. Jail time. We need to expose, convict & punish every corrupt & complicit one of them.

no matter your politics it’s disrespectful to joke about someone’s death. don’t say rudy giuliani died from driving his car into a wall painted to look like a tunnel and all his clothes flew off in the crash and then a sixteen wheeler semi truck ran over his dick and balls. don’t say stuff like that

at their core, trans rights, abortion rights, and vaccine rights are actually all the same issue: they’re all about bodily autonomy, and the willingness to concede any of them puts the others at risk.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Dear Democratic politicians, No one cares about bipartisanship. No one. If your bill attracts Republican support, it's not a selling point to the people who voted for you. Talking about bipartisanship at this moment is telling us you think working with the fascists is good. It's not.

There is no future world in which impartial rule of law exists and these criminals do not face punishment. To fail to go after them is to send the clearest possible signal that the law will not be enforced if enforcement is politically difficult or risky for politicians in power.
