There isn’t a single neoliberal Democrat that will make any movement against Republicans, if Democrats ever take control again. This has been proven time and again. Democrats need to elect progressives, not neoliberals like Jeffries.

I'm uncertain they actually opposed fascism, even if they publicly deemed it distasteful.

When will the LAPD move against the Feds? Nothing changes until the LAPD drives the feds out of town.

#OnThisDay in 1966 Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the Black Panther Party. In the years that followed, the FBI assassinated, harassed, and imprisoned many members. Their work changed the world, nonetheless. The Black Panther Party was a great American institution.

There will never be a cease-fire! There hasn’t been a cease-fire in decades, even after cease fires have been signed. This is not a situation that lends itself to a cease-fire. It never has, it never will!

Not for nothing we should have started burning things down when the the private equity companies got into the business of private prisons in the 80s!

"Private prisons" shouldn't even exist..

I’m always confused by this MLS stuff. If this new team is part of MLS, how can it be independent. Will it be a NEXT Pro franchise? If it’s a franchise, it’s not independent.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
