In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work." The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting. And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Someone should run in 2028 on a platform of claiming this entire term illegitimate because of the insurrection clause, thereby nullifying every piece of shit legislation and EO he's signed, all judicial appointments, and every pardon.

negotiating over the next cr in january is going to be DOA. they know theyre going to cave because theyve done it twice now. why give democrats anything at all?

ok wait hold up, he does not get to claim that he supported the initial goals BECAUSE HE DID NOT STAND UP TO TRUMP PERIOD! HE VOTED WITH THE REPUBLICANS AT THE START (AND HAS IN EVERY VOTE THE WHOLE SHUTDOWN)! standing up to trump "didnt" work because angus king is a treasonous little bitch

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

fuck you

Vibes among House Democrats and activists, "The Senate is the enemy"

really enjoyed death by lightning. the cast was so good

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

first teaser for The Testament of Ann Lee great movie

Congratulations to Kelsea Bond for becoming Atlanta's first socialist city councilmember! 🎊 Last night, they won overwhelmingly with 64% of the vote. We are so excited for them and know they will do great things for Atlanta! 🪴 Join Groundwork to build a strong DSA with us! groundworkdsa.com/join

its kind of amazing that i grew up in a staunchly conservative pro-republican household and now i can call my mom and she just wants to talk about how exciting zohran winning is and how she hates billionaires

holy fuck

Checking in on Rudy Giuliani, I see he's having an insane one

can you imagine if today was The Day that It Happens

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.

cry more

god damm

Gen Z women and a landslide Gen Z women and a landslide

i remember people talking about depressing it was seeing uvalde shift rightwards last year after their school shooting...well here's the opposite of that--even pretty red areas voting for the gun control measure in the wake of the lewiston shooting. pretty heartening stuff

Democratic socialism WINS in Atlanta! Meet your new ATL City Councilperson for District 2, and former ATLDSA co-chair, Kelsea Bond!

conservative activists were out collecting signatures for a trans sports & bathroom ban ballot question today at polling places in maine. but we destroyed them today and we'll beat them again next year

this is the best election night in years

im so fuckinv happy

I am hearing that on his deathbed Andrew Cuomo received the light of democratic socialism and unhesitatingly sang the Internationale. Even now he looks down on Bushwick from the gardens of Astoria. Truly there is no god but DSA, and Zohran is his prophet!

we won motherfuckers!!!!!!

time to play eu5 until 8pm

this shit right here is wrecker shit, as much as wrecker shit as any online leftist has done, if not more so. no wonder so many people are repulsed by anyone (rightly) saying 'vote blue no matter who', the most powerful elected Dem in the nation won't do it! it undermines the whole coalition! jfc

nice walk to my turf today

Trump posts his worst-ever net approval rating in a CNN poll this morning, 37% to 63% (-26) s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

favorite first time watches of october: enys men suspiria (2018) black swan d.e.b.s.

shes ready to watch a couple scary movies

i complain about this every year but its fucked up that halloween is right before gotv

i don’t think you can maximin vote share with polls and spreadsheets, and i think it is a problem that the most prominent and influential political commentators right now are more devotees of data than experts in narrative

i wrote about governor mills and why she is in no way a progressive as so many people seem to think

Contrary to her national reputation, Janet Mills is more often a roadblock to progress than a champion of it. Read more about her and her time as governor in our new piece by @breadnrosie.bsky.social powermapmag.com/maine-voters...

Some personal news: I’m preparing to run for Zohran’s Assembly seat. As a Queens mom, an immigrant organizer, and a democratic socialist, I’m ready to fight for the working people of Queens! LET’S WIN THIS!🔥 (DM me for volunteer/ donation form ✊🏽) www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

fail safe is one of the best thrillers out there, and its a shame its not as famous as dr strangelove because its better imo. seriously go watch it. i havent been able to get its ending out of my head since i saw it in college.

We should not be having a debate about Nazi symbolism tattooed on the potentially top ticket Democrat in Maine. The fact we are even willing to entertain it shows desperation within the Party, not dedication, and how far we have fallen from rational thought.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

it's funny everytime we hear "dems should focus more on economic issues" it's never "we should improve universal provisioning" but rather "how do we do another means tested program" among a certain type of wonk

i once again would like to express some alarm and concern at the sheer pace of Nazi-related news updates

Like all radical centrists, The Argument's real project is to excuse the evils of the right. @blimpjuice.bsky.social on why we should stop taking Right Wing Excusers in good faith, and start treating them like the fascism enablers they are. powermapmag.com/the-argument...

So...is Trump regularly being tested for dementia at Walter Reed?

out canvassing in extremely Halloween weather and there are crows circling me. spooky

this constantly comes up with the college students i work with. everything going on in the world rn is "normal" to them.

rewatched the red shoes this evening and my god what a movie. it stuns me everytime i see it

just watched a kid do a double take at me then ask her dad a question (presumably what gender i am because he then looked at me) and then started laughing after he answered. having a hard day and i had to stop myself from crying in the grocery store.
