You also see this in governing. Anyone not with the establishment is branded not a team player or real Democrat, no matter what it is they’re objecting to. I have a lot of examples at the local level.

Its amazing that every couple years we go through the cycle of Leftists tell people dems would rather lose to fascists then elect a leftist. Centrists saying no that's not true Dems demonstrating openly that it is true. people confused and mad at dems. it all gets forgotten after the election.

It’s very clear that there’s a corporate/special interest-allied wing of the Democratic Party that *wants* lefty candidates to lose—even if it means fascism.

A new YouGov poll shows that American voters trust Democrats far more than Republicans on issues related to transgender rights. They prefer the Democratic approach, and Dems should run on their support of equality. Subscribe to support our journalism.

My video on lessons to take from Lula’s victory in Brazil has blown up on YouTube, and the comments are full of fantastic advice from Brazilians, like this. Take note.

After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.

cis people lie about us and to us constantly - almost exclusively. your first pass filter should be "what is best for our community," not "what is embarrassingly true." when cis people goad you to frame our rights as frivolous your reflexive priority should be trans people first and truth second.

And, as a result, the mentality, language, and behavior associated with rapists is becoming foreign and domestic policy. Consent, compromise & diplomacy have been replaced with threats, violence, and disregard for boundaries.

A serial rapist was elected twice as President, a fact we don't reckon with nearly enough. Now one of two major political parties has been molded in his image, run for and by violent sexual abusers who hate women.

Politics is the art of forcing the votes "there." You do that by ratcheting up the pressure through relentless accountability.

Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 6d ago

"The votes aren't there" is cowardice masked as savviness. There has to be accountability for their crimes. The House has a duty to make the case here and if some GOP senators want to weasel out, make them own that vote. Don't let pundits and "strategists" talk you out of doing your damn job.

There is truly nothing you could do to make fun of the NYT covering the Obama Cheesecake Factory quip instead of Trump being accused of rape. It’s completely beyond parody.

Through a FOIL, I learned the president of the legislature received the state directive to the legislature to review the jail medical provider in September 2025. That's months earlier than we previously knew. Here is where things stand with the state-ordered review of PrimeCare Medical.

The reason that all this happened is because too many Americans thinks it’s cool and funny to be ignorant assholes. It’s not funny.
