Good morning. JD Vance is a piece of shit. www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

the supreme court says you can never use race to help people but you can always use race to hurt people

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

She somehow misses that the right will do this "make various unproven allegations" as smear tactics against literally anyone.

This is their "methodology." ustr.gov/issue-areas/...

The Capitol Rioters have had quite a lot to say since receive pardons from President Donald Trump — most have no regrets, believe conspiracy theories, and remain loyal to Trump and the MAGA movement. I'm documenting their statements and activities at Pardon Tracker: fundrazr.com/pardontracker

Take a moment today to read about a few of the young children whom Trump and Musk killed by shutting down USAID. The blame for these deaths falls on them. There will be hundreds of thousands more dead kids before their lethal crusade against foreign aid ends. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

What a chart. #mandate

Jack Jones loves a big play but he struggles with ordinary plays.

The full low-down on RFK Jr.’s connection to a deadly measles outbreak in Samoa and, just as important, how he lied about it. That’s key. Kennedy is an inveterate liar. He makes up facts & plots, and he lies about what he himself has said. Another con man. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yes, stances are ethical. But if we want change, ethical stances must have power. That is political. One can be right and criticize others who aren’t, sure. And that is important. But then what? How do we flourish? We need to help the right thing win, and good people build. Electoral or not

Going to prove this inane article wrong by quote dunking on it. Maybe you just haven't spent enough time here to find people having fun?

NEW FROM ME: The government will do things that hurt people. But knowing exactly what it is doing — & therefore who’s most at risk — is at the foundation of fighting against it. Anything else is doing Trump’s job for him. Here’s a start. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/o...

My posts are bad but @darthbluesky.bsky.social has assured me that posting is good for everyone so

we can stipulate that the political party did a bad job. hell, i will agree with every negative thing you say about the democrats. okay. do people have agency or not? are they moral agents or are they not? do they have responsibilities and obligations beyond themselves or do they not?

Leftists hating centrist liberals more than they fear reactionary conservatives has been the cause of a lot of suffering over the centuries.

The chair of the Republican Party in Lee County, North Carolina, is on video instructing volunteers that if they see new voters "and they've got Hispanic-sounding last names, that probably is, is a suspicious voter." www.cbsnews.com/news/electio...

Seems bad

Obama: "The reason some people think, 'I remember that economy when he first came in being pretty good.' Yeah it was pretty good, because it was my economy ... I had spent 8 years cleaning up the mess that the Republicans had left me the last time."

Q: Governor DeSantis is ignoring your calls. How does that hurt the situation with Hurricane Milton? Vice President Harris: Moments of crisis should really be the moment that anyone who calls themselves a leader says they're going to put politics aside and put the people first. People are in

To imagine what real coverage of Trump's mental unfitness might look like, I took 10 real Biden age headlines and rewrote them around Trump's unfitness for the presidency. Read them below; the effect is striking. Why don't we see saturation like this? 6/ newrepublic.com/article/1856...

Trump on union workers: “They get their little 5 percent, they get another 2 percent... All of a sudden they’re making more money than the people that own the company”

I will bang this drum forever: in THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE FREE: THE GERMANS, 1933-45 Milton Mayer interviewed 10 ordinary Germans after WW2 to learn how fascism took hold. There was never a moment when everyone woke up:

The governors of a dozen Republican-led states — AL, AK, FL, GA, IA, MS, OK, SC, SD, TX, UT, WY — opted out of a new federal food assistance program, leaving about 9.5 million students without the aid this summer

Trump on Fox & Friends: "I'm gonna do the big deportation. The biggest ever ... you'll get rid of 10 really bad ones. And one really beautiful mother ... it's always gonna be tough, it's not gonna be easy ... the way you get rid of them is the local police."
