I really need Democrats to be the non-racist party. It'd be cool if they weren't failing at this.

This week a Republican congressman called for the denaturalization of a Democratic elected official, invoking a key mechanism through which the Holocaust was perpetrated. In response, Democratic Party leaders have rushed to cable news to declare that the Republicans have a point about that guy.

Alright everyone. Republicans are going to force a vote on their gender affirming care provision even though it violates Senate rules. They’ll need 60 votes to keep it in. Now is the time to make your voice heard and ask your Senators to stand on the side of health care freedom.

Smart move by Newsom. 1) Fox is vulnerable after the Dominion settlement and he chose the right number. 2) with Trump, Musk & the bad faith right weaponizing defamation and libel laws to attack their critics, it’s time liberals and leftists fight (legal) fire with fire. Sue ‘em.

People are slamming Mamdani for “trying to do too much at the age of 33” and frankly they have a point because we have zero examples from history of a 33-year-old brown immigrant who opposed the elites & condemned greed while demanding access to food, healthcare, housing, & loving all thy neighbors.

If you had a 15 year old who said this to you and seemed to believe it, you’d be up all night panicking about what it’s going to cost you in tutors to get them into the 2nd-to-last ranked public university in your state.

“People don’t want a handout, it’s not dignified.” Do you know what’s not dignified? Being evicted. Dying in the street from starvation. Every one deserves food, shelter, clothes, healthcare, and other survival necessities. No strings attached, no requirements, no hoops to jump through to get them.

If you're a Democrat in Rockland County, New York, and you're reluctant to speak up about Sen. Gillibrand's resort to rave-baiting lies and ethnonationalist demagoguery on Brian Lehrer this week and do the <waves hands> "you don't understand Rockland's uniqueness" <waves hands> bit, this is for you.

I think much of the tech right’s turn to eugenics can be explained by their psychic refusal to accept that their massive wealth is the product of historical luck (being in SV at a time when investment money was cheap & abundant) and an insistence that it was instead a product of inherent supremacy.

BEGGING other leftists to stop using ableist language like: insane, crazy, m*ron, dumb, lame, idiotic, stupid, etc. I'd respect you more if you just replace them all with expletives. Fascists are fucking assholes. Don't throw disabled people under the bus with your insults.

There's a stretch of railway line in East London ownership of which is disputed between Network Rail and Transport for London, mostly because neither side wants to take responsibility for dealing with the veiled apparition that flickers into being on the tracks, traumatising train drivers.

So...I had an odd idea the other day. Here's the thing. The Clintons know who they are. We all know who Bill is. Is there a chance they they knew a Slick Willy endorsement would absolutely bury Cuomo, and decided to put the brand to good use?

This is why traditional political power hoarders hate RCV — it encourages coalitions, doesn’t hate voters, and makes divide and conquer & demonization less effective/attractive. Scorched earth is actually a terrible planet to live on.
