They had their opportunity to shake up the party/leadership on their own terms. They didn’t do that. Now it’s being done for them. It’s inverting the relationship they think they have with their base, which is confusing so many of them.

One thing about the United States is that our population is in a constant battle of More Racist vs More Stupid and it's usually impossible to tell which side is winning.

There is a very strong case that TLJ is the best Star Ware movie, and if you grade against the constraints it operates under it’s not even an argument.

The people hate Donald Trump so obviously the correct strategy is to not signal that hatred and instead politely applaud him when he says the economy is strong.

It’s very cute when justices talk about the major questions doctrine like it’s a real thing and not just some bullshit they made up, the imaginary friend of legal analysis.

Can’t call a lie and lie because that requires speculating what’s in one’s head, apparently less knowable than the future, about which it is fine to speculate.

Our Democratic elected officials are not rising to this moment so most of them must go. Any elected official who isn’t willing to organize a Project 2029 around punishing everyone in the Trump administration in order to save democracy must go.

if you try to focus on Trump’s authoritarianism, Schumer will deflect and say people want us to focus on affordability. but when Zohran Mamdani made affordability the heart of his campaign Schumer refused to endorse him because they disagree about Israel. it’s all mealy mouthed bullshit.

Yesterday, when Bovino announced ICE would be returning to Little Village today, some of us donated and fundraised to buy out street vendors in the neighborhood. This morning, volunteers hit the streets at 6:30 am, looking for vendors to buy out. Tamales make an excellent breakfast.

Among other issues, this just sows distrust in elected representatives. Upwards of 16 Dem senators are casting a vote that’s against how they want to vote. How can you expect people to trust you when you do that? How can you ask for their support?

A vote that won’t result in ACA subsidies but will result in vulnerable GOP senators being able to vote yes — a gift to Republicans. The politics of this are horrendous.

Any Democrat voting for this should be primaried as quickly as possible because they're stupid, aren't capable of recognizing they're winning, are incapable of representing their constituents, and are cowards not up to this era's challenges.
