The good news: as the other two branches have decided only one branch matters, we can tear all of these motherfuckers down.

I mean, NH has 400 reps in their state house. We can do better.

One rep/750k is not very "representative."

Want a compromise? Ok, set the number at the population of the smallest state (WY). One rep per 450k people.

The law that MUST be rescinded: The Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929.

We need to be originalists and return to the Constitution.

One representative per 30,000 persons.

If any other president posted a video of himself wearing a crown, flying a jet, and dropping shit on Americans, every, single paper would have had a front page story questioning his sanity. Trump’s enablers are the mainstream media

Extradite the members of the US military - and the political who ordered the strike - to Colombia to stand trial.

The US clearly is incapable of upholding laws.

Executive summary: the US killed at least 3 Colombian fishermen who’d put up a distress flag. In Colombian waters

the media has made a huge deal about Neutrality and Not Editorializing and it all falls apart when you realize they are too afraid to publish a factual description of the video Trump posted

Cancel SPOTIFY.

They are running ICE ads.

F them.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) at the Boston No Kings rally today, wore the trans pride flag like a scarf draped over his shoulders and included in his speech. "Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights."

Sen. Ed Markey, a white man with white hair, standing at a lectern with a dark background, and Sen Elizabeth Warren to camera right, in a black top with a red blazer. Markey wears a trans pride flag draped over his shoulders. The closed caption reads "trans people because trans righs are human rights. We" The chiron underneath reads "No Kings Rally Underway In Boston"

Question - if wealth taxes don’t work and raise only paltry amounts, how come whenever we start seriously discussing them rich people start pouring resources into trying to start race and class wars as a distraction?

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Our recent poll found that women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average. Nearly 80 percent of Gen Z women want abortion to be legal and seven in 10 want gender-affirming care to be accessible for trans adults.

Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country

On issues like abortion and gender-affirming care, women 28 and younger skew substantially more left than the national average.

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society
