Oh boy haunting Adeline is some absolute shit writing my god 🥴

I mean as I've said in the past, Platner is 1. not good on his feet and 2. hates to and really never does apologize people just imagined a candidate with a redemption story, but uh no he does not have one.

Ossoff said he & gubernatorial nominee Keisha Lance Bottoms will be “proceeding together, united and determined.” He adds: “We will be working as a team, and in fact, I'm pleased to share with you all that she will be joining me at next Sunday's rally here in Atlanta.” www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Great now the damn autopsy gets to suck all the oxygen out of the room.

The whites don’t have this read just fyi and idk what to do with that.

Does Suhas Subramanyam need to speak up about the anti trans law that passed Indian parliament too?

Of the 8 state voter file cases DOJ has lost, 4 were before judges appointed by Donald Trump.

Proposed: an indefinite moratorium on cosplay working class hero candidates

You need a fighter that says all of this horrible shit? Where is the floor for you because this is saying a lot more about you than it does him.

The gop can STAD though as they regularly talk like this.

USAID reduced poverty, food insecurity, and the spread of diseases globally, while promoting peace, democracy and economic development. It’s dismantling by the Trump Admin is hindering efforts to respond to an Ebola outbreak and has led to an increase in conflict across parts of Africa😡 #MEpolitics

DSA referred to usaid as imperialist so there is that

A tangent here, but I'm not a huge fan of the growing anti-tax sentiment from Democrats at a time when municipal budgets around the country (including here in Massachusetts) are getting absolutely crushed by the one-two punch of falling federal/state aid and rising healthcare and retirement costs.

Where is thus energy for active transportation?

I thought it's just Yorkshire folk who "call a spade a spade." I disagree with you on religion. For me, as a former Muslim prison chaplain, it's its deliberate misuse that gives rise to problems, & the selective misquoting of scripture (as evidenced in my book "A bundle of twigs is not a tree").

That's not what's happening. Hamas started a war that they knew they would get obliterated in because they don't give a shit about Palestinians. And they started it with the worst possible president of Israel in charge. Has nothing to do with religion, you fucking moron.

As for Fetterman: I've been a SWPA Democrat for about 25 years now. That guy has always been problematic, even when he was Mayor of Braddock. I voted for Conor Lamb in the primary because I knew Fetterman would be bad. I'm also a DSP & disabilities advocate. Blaming his stroke is really ableist.

UPDATE: Never mind. It's already public info. From @magdi.bsky.social at the other place:

Peeing on a dead enemy combatant isn’t “dark military humor.” It’s despicable l.

Obviously Platner making those comments isn’t nearly as bad as actually *committing* sexual assault/etc like Trump did, but it sure as hell shouldn’t be shrugged off either. And he wasn’t just a “dumb kid” either. He was making some of the offensive comments less than 5 yrs ago, in his late 30s.

Tens of millions of us didn't "excuse" Trump's "locker room talk." As for Platner, blaming rape victims for their assaults, accusing Black people of being cheap & getting a Nazi tattoo & then lying about knowing its significance for 18 years isn't "dark military humor."

As someone who kept masking until mid 2023, I’m afraid this is colossally off base.

HVAC systems got a robust upgrade in 2021.

I’m a YIMBY, and from that perspective too Becerra is the superior choice. Come at me.

Newsflash: the wrong people benefit when you don’t vote.

I think Karl Frisch should primary McKay next year.

What we’re not gonna do is blame RBG for the failure of voters to act right.

Lady who did Biden and Kamala dirty is also a car brained nimby? I feel vindicated.

The nimby? Ugh.

So anyway, there's my big idea for reviving the fortunes of the Democratic Party: Make More City.

So how about this: instead of the entire establishment trying to browbeat "woke" college kids into shutting up about racism & sexism, why don't they browbeat the older, wealthier, more powerful NIMBYs in their midst to shut the fuck up about "neighborhood character"?

And it will, more reliably than any other tool available, make more Democrats! As a bonus, it doesn't involve Dems trying awkwardly to be a little racist to attract more exurban & rural voters. It doesn't involve smart, educated people pretending to be dumber to appeal to voters who hate them.

Make Anchorage a nice west-coast city where professionals can find jobs & live pleasant lives & voi la, you turn the state blue. (The population isn't that big!) There is no state in the union where Dems don't have some power to densify, to Make More City. They can do this everywhere.

Take, I dunno, Alaska. Conventionally & traditionally pretty red. But what if you made Anchorage a little nicer? What if you made some dense walkable areas with coffee shops & other amenities meant to draw knowledge-workers & their families? What if you attracted some high-profile employers?

So Dems just need to Make More City. And luckily, they have the power to do that! They govern almost all the cities, so they can pass policies to infill, build up, add transit, add multi-modal transportation, etc. etc. Where they govern states, they can pass state-level laws to upzone everywhere.

Robert Garcia gets this and Scott wiener gets this. James Walkinshaw also gets this.

This suggests what is, to me, a fairly obvious path forward: if you want to make a red state into a blue state, increase its urban population relative to its exurban and rural populations. Put more succinctly: cities make Dems, so make more city!

Scott wiener is the correct choice and that’s all there is to it.

Ugh so that’s why she endorsed Chang over Wiener. Well she also shafted Kamala so…it tracks 🤷🏽‍♀️

Yes. I remember. There still is a certain cheerleader role approach to politics. “Hot Girls for Bernie.”

NYT is gleefully and voyeuristically welcoming the fall of democracy. Let’s level set here.

One of the things that makes me the most fearful for the health of our democracy is this bizarre behavior by the press in twisting stories to make Trump's activities fit within normal frameworks that are completely inappropriate for the circumstances.

I’ve said this before, but I’m going to say it again because I think it matters: It is not “copium” to say Harris ran a good campaign. If anything, it is “copium” to say she didn’t. Because it’s comforting to think if we just run a better campaign, in a few easy ways, we’ll win.

If you're willing to ignore something in one candidate or person that you declared was unacceptable or a "red line" when another candidate or person did it, you don't have principles. You have biases. And what we're finding out that between Planter and Steyer, the left have a LOT of biases.

The local news has complained several times about bike lanes making it harder to find parking near a bar 🤦‍♂️
