the fundamental confusion between 'democratic party policies' and 'things said by people on twitter, most of whom hated the democratic party' strikes again
how many of these "Democratic policies" were in the 2024 Democratic Party platform document? 1? maybe 2?
compare that to the list of unpopular Republican policies, 13 of which Trump has accomplished since taking office, and most of which have been floated by admin officials as possible priorities

You should sever any relationship, including a close friendship, with someone who is rude to waitstaff.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

They got out the ouija board to consult James Madison’s ghost and discovered Trump can do anything he wants UNLESS it hurts the justices’ stock portfolios.
BREAKING: Supreme Court *defers* Trump's emergency appeal to fire Lisa Cook from the Fed, announces January 2026 oral argument to fully address the question.
Which means Lisa Cook STAYS on the Fed for the time being.

I got an email from the VA with a blatant Hatch Act violation regarding the shutdown. I am not a vet. How does the VA even have my email? @warnock.senate.gov @ossoff.senate.gov Where are the promises to prosecute this nonsense?

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

In the minds of most Americans, we’ve tended to mythologize the Warren Court as most representative of the Supreme Court, when in truth, for most of our history the Court has ruled against minority rights, upheld the power of wealthy white men, and rarely protected the most vulnerable.

Remember that when vaccine mandates are gutted, worker protections are dismantled, and 20 years from now when people say these camp safety laws are classic “government overreach”.

I do wish people would treat transphobia as the serious red flag it is, because if someone is repeating bullshit pseudoscience talking points from right wing cranks, that's just as bad as conceding to anti-vax nonsense and undermining trust in science and medicine, alarm bells should be sounding!

If Democratic politicians do not fight this because it's a "distraction," it will simply happen. They need to get in front of every mic and say that we will not allow Trump to destroy American history. He wants a culture war? GIVE HIM ONE. There are no distractions. Have every fight.

one extremely horrific aspect of slavery was systematic, vicious, constant rape and sexual abuse. there remain major taboos about talking about that, especially in schools or museums for all ages.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you:
Our funding depends on usage.
So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
