He/Him; BLM, abortion rights are non-negotiable, expand SCOTUS, make DC & PR states, aggressively expand voting rights everywhere. The GOP is a fascist menace to be fought at every turn.

We need the higher ed media to better describe what's at stake here. These are not "reforms," they're an authoritarian takeover. They're not "bold" or "sweeping," they're undemocratic and fascist. These aren't normal policy recommendations, they're a dismantling of higher education!

Hey! Remember Republicans saying "Obamacare will make death panels to kill your grandma!"? Then you should probably go check out chapter 14 of the Project 2025 manifesto. Because every Conservative/Republican accusation is a confession.

Seven times between 1801 and 1869 Congress changed the size of the court, going from a low of five justices in 1801 to a high of ten in 1863. In most of those cases, as in 1801 and 1863, the size went up and down in order to fix an imbalance or overreach by the Supreme Court. My latest

I think that what drives people nuts is that they don't have more power than going out and voting, but you do. The problem is that it requires you to get involved with party politics and for the kinds of people who are complaining, doing that would be personally distasteful.

The scenes from the Russian strikes on hospitals in Kyiv today only reinforce how the morally correct position to have is to support both the peoples of Ukraine and Palestine as they both suffer brutal and vicious fascist aggression launched with the intent of wiping them out as peoples.

If you steal $1000, you can be sent to prison. When health insurance companies steal $50,000,000,000, they get tax breaks, subsidies and government contracts, while the people they steal from die or go into debt. But keep blaming immigrants and poor people for rising crime.
