oh just straight up gutter racism!
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.
Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.
Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

The problem, again, is elected Dems & candidates DON'T actually spend very much time at all talking about these things. Right-wing media does. And Dems ultimately have no control over what right-wing media is going to talk about.
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.
Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.
The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.
No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

The Supreme Court has temporarily protected Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook from being fired by Trump under false pretenses. Is it time to count Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Barrett, and Kavanaugh among the resistance?

Everytime I listen to Stephen Miller I think of this one angry nerdy bitter kid I went to high school with who used to have just one line in his AIM profile, the Radiohead lyric:
“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”
“When I am king, you will be first against the wall”
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.
