Gus Johnson with the voice crack. That’s the good good.

🤣🤣🤣

Legitimately would love the see the government’s brief arguing this. Just setting aside the blatant 1st Amendment violation, how the hell are you going to define prayer? Does silence count? Walking meditation? Working mindfully? Drawing? Playing music?

I love us. I think it's wonderful they arrived at this decision after enjoying a government-paid sandwich platter (true story, check the thread below).

Sean Dunn, aka DC Sandwich Guy, speaks outside court after his not guilty verdict: “I am so happy that justice prevails in spite of everything…. “That night I believe I was protecting the rights of immigrants… Every life matters, no matter where you came from, no matter how you got here…”

Jeanine Pirro tried to make an example of Sean Dunn. She ended up delivering a hero to Washington, D.C. www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-san...

Many (most?) Americans hate social media, but feel they need it to keep abreast of things at their kids school, get news, see grandkid pics, etc. Democrats can do numbers by coming out hard against social media. Regulate them, fine them, break them up, criminally charge leadership. Fuck them up.

I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

Wondering now how many people I’ve inadvertently offended while discussing the latest Bake-Off episode.

This tracks with everything I’ve experienced on the ground in Georgia. There was a huge gap b/t how party officials spoke and what grassroots Dems wanted: energized resistance to the damage being done. I think that gap is narrowing. Tuesday should be all the evidence the party needs.

This election suggests something interesting: the massive local GOP losses says the bad Democratic Party brand is salvageable, *if* the Third Way-style accommodationists are boxed out of leadership. Voters want to fight Trump and will support a pretty wide range of candidates to do it.

It’s almost like if people tell you that to win you have to turn your back on poor people, or Muslims, or trans people, or immigrants, you can just say, “no, that’s immoral, we’re not doing that,” and keep doing good old fashioned organizing and campaigning and things will be ok

@edsbs.bsky.social @hollyanderson.bsky.social @jasonkirk.fyi @celebrityhottub.bsky.social There’s just so much gold here including a cross-examination over whether the sandwich in fact “exploded” on the officer as claimed.

Saw something recently that short-circuited my brain. I, a smug liberal, in my Subaru, encounter another Subaru on the road. Window sticker 1: "Not all who wander are lost." Excellent. Vintage. Sticker 2: "Ask me about my cats." We're approaching peak Subaru. ... Sticker 3: "45 - 47"

Not to replace substance with message but I genuinely do not think that the GOP establishment is prepared, nor capable, of regulating itself in a world where all high profile democrats are directly staring into a camera and telling Trump to go fuck himself.

There were 13 elections last night for a statewide office. Democrats swept all 13. That’s 1 in NJ. 3 in VA. 2 in GA. And 7 in PA (all judges, retention and regular). They won 12 of the 13 races by double-digits, with margins up to 24%. The only other race, the tightest, they won by 6%.

lollll the khan rides

would love to watch the Law & Order treatment of Sandwich Throwing Trial

Lol, lmao even. Yes, Georgia is full… of Democrats, apparently.

Do I dare take a look at right wing Christian social media today? And if I do, what’s O/U on posts before I get to the first “Sharia” mention?

We must breeze past Woke 2 and implement Woke 3

I continue to believe that the Trump *campaign* successfully convinced quite a lot of people that mass deportations did not mean mass deportations; that it meant targeted enforcement against “the bad guys.” The problem for the Trump *administration* is that no one believes that anymore.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

Hitting new PRs in the gym this morning because of woke.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Brand new data: Republicans blamed for the shutdown (+12) and for health care premiums going up (+28!!). These are stunning numbers. Republicans aren't immune from the pressure this creates. Time to press our advantage. Stand for what we believe in.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

ah, perhaps instead of pumping millions into endless factional infighting Dem donors could invest in making local Dem organizations genuine civic spaces that can reach people during and between elections

Woke 2.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

new bluesky growth strategy: hold an election in the United States weekly

(speaking into wrist) it’s time

at this rate we're gonna hit Woke 3 by midnight

This is genuinely wild.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

[Exit Clown.]

I’m just liking and reposting everything because WTF else am I gonna do on a night when America told the fascists to GTFO

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

you know what cures a lot of intracoalition friction, is winning

permission to lib out your honor

Near wipeout predicted for Virginia House of Delegates Republicans. Democrats on track to get at least 60 seats, maybe more.

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.
