I remain very annoyed at the "actually everything is a war crime and every US government official is a war criminal" crowd because now that we have the actual pro-war crimes administration it's very hard to get people to understand that this is actually quite a bit different

If you get into a “who can cut taxes more” battle with the GOP, you’re going to lose because they are far more shameless and antagonistic to the idea of living in a functioning society. Don’t concede to their framing that taxes are nothing but a problem to be solved.

they stole an hour from women

“I’m sorry I can’t stick around for it” lmao she doesn’t know how true that is

This is what Rumsfeld would call an Unnoem Unnoem

LMFAO

NOEM TAKING QUESTIONS - DOES NOT APPEAR TO KNOW SHE WAS FIRED

Daines is retiring?????

someone who isn't fanatically pro-israel should perhaps consider challenging marylin strickland

it's that famous rule from morgenthau's Politics Among Nations

Take it over how? With what? Will they kill Pezeshkian? Ghalibaf? Larijani? This is no regime change promise, its abdication of responsibility to a people who were just mass butchered. "You go and do it. If you fail, well tough luck"

well

something something third derivative

spare a thought for the reverend al sharpton, who is now the only person left to field apologetic phone calls from public figures who went on racist tirades

damn. not exactly surprising but truly the end of an era

In general a lot of moderate liberals find it very annoying that leftists, radical liberals, and libertarians all end up at open borders, missing the "obvious" middle ground position, but the thing is that if you examine the issue at all, borders are pretty damn hard to actually justify

"weird how so many republicans from competitive seats feel compelled to vote against the party line, but democrats don't. makes you wonder if they are taking bad advice that has little to do with electoral performance, and dem pols know this"

sincere question: were there any trans people featured at the 2020 or 2016 dncs? bc if not that’s not a rightward pivot it’s a reflection of there being like 3 trans politicians of note in the country

the normie moms have accomplished more in six months than black bloc anarchists have in their entire existence nonviolence works, it is objectively more effective than ninja cosplay and valorous dumpster fires, and people who reject it are not worthwhile allies

to be kind of blunt, if the hardcore veteran activist organizer expertise that you bring results in "light a dumpster on fire, get mad that this is filmed" it's not really expertise anyone should respect, sorry. don't care how many little activism merit badges you have.

This shit is so gross. Saying trauma and harm and accountability and solidarity to disguise the fact that you think warning people that ICE is here with a whistle is cringe lib shit

But a lot of people who have spent many years in other kinds of activism - activism that is generally far less effective than our networks have been - seem horrified that Minnesota moms and college students stumbled on a new model. They are rushing to assert themselves as the “true” organizers.

If you were designing an op to discredit protest you could not do better than this

Whenever you see a story about how liberals aren't making their conservative peers feel welcome enough, this is who they're talking about.

a "fun" fact is that texas' state senate map is so gerrymandered that this swing would flip all but four republican districts

the correct way to understand the protest opsec stuff is that its a shibboleth for guys who attend left wing protests regularly that lets them exert status over recruits. i would regard it as pretty benign if these people werent actively discouraging people from getting involved.

People call this lib coded or left coded or reformist or revolutionary or whatever but this is like basic dissent 101 and people across ideological lines think this way if they're competent

it’s kind of funny how these people have exactly the same kind of brainworms as like jim clyburn

For the most part, wearing masks to shield your identity to protect yourself from retribution is ceding the whole playing field to the fascists. Not indulging in the weird black ops security theater is itself a statement: this is our world and you don’t dictate how we live in it.

I’m so glad you went. I had many people ask me - “is it safe? Should I leave my phone and ID at home? Do I need an exit strategy?” We’re building this bizarre and paranoid civic culture based almost entirely on miasmatic online fear endlessly feeding itself. Selma marchers didn’t even mask!

The sex act can be between any number and any kind of consenting adults, but it should not desecrate the Republic or its virtues I'm only like 20% joking

Hurting people is easy. It's lazy. Anyone can do it with the right tools and the wrong morals. Protecting people is hard. It takes restraint and courage and empathy. They will never have that. So they can never win, in the end. Minneapolis will win.

The reason why they're still pressing ahead is not because they have some secret plan, but the pretty classic Umberto Eco fascist-folly - because of their ideology they are "constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy."

Important video. These guys are rattled. They can't go anywhere, they can't get anything done. They killed someone and it just got worse. They don't have any other intellectual or law-enforcement tools. They don't know what to do.

The logic of this administration, since the beginning, has been the logic of right-wing grievance media, which is to say that they only response they can imagine to anything is to keep ratcheting up the rhetoric, to keep escalating the claims, to never, ever, ever back down or acknowledge a mistake.

?

happy new year everyone :)

eating msg by the spoonful as is my god-given right

IT'S HAPPENING

I am once again asking Democratic congressional leadership to stop completely vindicating the most vulgar leftist 'both sides are the same' midwits

literally breathtaking. just absolutely incredible

There's moderates like Newsom who absolutely do suck but seem to understand that power exists and is important, and then there's moderates like Manchin that genuinely seem to have rocks in place of the space between their ears, unfortunately, almost every elected moderate is in the latter category

Maggie Hassan is really underhated given her behavior in this congress. she and Shaheen have almost as bad a record as Fetterman, and they are neither from a trump state nor do they have serious brain damage
