A functional society does not have a shortage of teachers and nurses and an overabundance of police.

It is absolutely wild that the Republican Party is positioning itself to steal the next federal election, right out in the open, and it's like a third-tier news story at best.

Serious question: If a former president is convicted of ESPIONAGE, shouldn’t all of his picks for the Supreme Court be ANNULLED?

Liz Cheney is a Republican. She votes like one, she ideologically aligned with Trump a majority of the time—- the only time she faltered was to stand up for our democracy, and now she has lost her primary and been ousted by the GOP. The GOP is dead. This is outright facism.

Ok, I haven't even read this yet, but based on the picture alone, this post speaks to me so much! I color-coded all my subjects throughout school (notebooks, folders, etc), & math was ALWAYS red, science ALWAYS green. (English = blue, history = purple b/c it is my favorite)

Periodic reminder to the press that if it’s raining and some batshit fascist cult leader says that it isn’t, your job is not to report to us that there are differing views about the weather. It’s to look out the fucking window.

I’ll remind folks of what I’ve posted before: in 1960 you could pay for a full year at the University of Minnesota with SIX WEEKS at a minimum wage job. Student debt is a consequence of the systematic defunding of higher education, not bad borrower decisions. #CancelStudentDebt

my eternal advice to democrats is that no matter what you do, republicans will call it socialism and attack it, so just do the maximum possible to help the most people and don't hobble it out of the starter's gate in an attempt to "get republicans on board." that's all.

The student loan system exists because the Baby Boom generation didn’t want to pay the taxes that helped put it through college at vastly subsidized tuition, but still expected younger generations to get all the same education. Result: Generations of white-collar debt peonage.

As Biden cancels (some) student debt, remember why the debt exists. A key Reagan advisor warned in 1970 that free college was producing the dangerously explosive "dynamite" of an "educated proletariat," and "we have to be selective on who we allow to go through higher education":

There’s an odd strain of argument that doing things to help people is somehow nefarious or an illegitimate gift, rather than one of main goals of government.

Imagine if Muslims and Black people threatened potential violence against the country and law enforcement if they investigated us...imagine the outrage, the headlines, and the discussions. Trump, Hawley, Graham, and MAGA do it...eh, both sides.

When the president comes out as anti fascist and pro democracy and you feel attacked… Perhaps you need to do some introspection
