Stein signed a cruel, nonsensical bill to quiet a rapacious lynch mob, and it won't work. Democrats wanted to be the party of fascist appeasers and are instead just throwing everyone under the bus.

The Assembly @theassemblync.bsky.social · 1d

Senate Democrats sent Stein a letter imploring him to veto a bill they called “fundamentally flawed, legally questionable, and morally wrong,” according to a draft obtained by The Assembly. (A Senate Dem said Stein was “pissed” when he received it.)

We were all excited about our checks and balances, but it turns out that all it takes to overthrow our democracy is literally the dumbest one of us trying even a little bit.

bibi is possibly looking at losing his coalition over a ceasefire. the truth is, isreal is an apartheid state committing genocide and bibi is a criminal playing a political game to avoid facing the consequences of yis domestic crimes. i look forward to seeing him stand before the hague.

Black women make up 12% of the federal workforce. The largest representation of their labor.

And Trump is firing, firing, firing.

Keith Boykin @keithboykin.bsky.social · 2d

Trump claimed that immigrants were “taking Black jobs,” but even after he deported 350,000 immigrants this year, 300,000 Black women lost their jobs. Black unemployment, overall, has soared to 7.5% under Trump, while white unemployment has dropped to 3.7%.

I’m really glad that Rubio is so young.

It will allow him many years of reflection in a federal prison.

I'm just hoping Trump will live long enough to see his family ruined from inside a prison cell.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

capital punishment is failed policy. it has never deterred crime. it has never secured justice. it has always cost society.

the trend, as seen in my state ( #ncpol ), is a sad and ominous back sliding.

still candace can go kick rocks. until i hear her calling for the release of mumia, the seizing of the factory by the workers, and the liberation of all, i'll approach anything she says that i might agree with with a long side eye.

until you drill down to find their motivation. fucking up and accidentally doing the right thing doesn't make you moral.
