I just realized the above and below probably cost the same amount of money.

There's going to be an opportunity for the Oligarchy/Corruption message to resonate and scoop up a lot of these voters, if the Democratic Party can get out of its own way. I don't count on that happening. They don't have a good track record there.

I'm grateful there's more coverage of peaceful protests turning chaotic SOLELY at the hands of law enforcement. The legacy media all need to start covering this.

It's because this is what he pictured in his feeble mind.
comment in response to post
He expected to see this. Hegseth better get some earplugs.
comment in response to post
Yup. And not like it was that difficult to foresee it happening either.

Trolling isn’t ideologically specific. Some people are just trolls. Mark needs to use the Bluesky mantra: "Ignore and block." There are still plenty of people to have great conversations with. There’s no excuse for supporting a Nazi platform, especially not because his feelings got hurt.

Maybe ur just not blocking the right people? Trolling is not ideologically-specific. Some people are just trolls. The Bluesky mantra is "ignore and block." There will still be PLENTY of people with which to engage on a meaningful level. You have, er, a lot of followers. You're gonna get some haters.

They'll never see the irony. It's almost like they have a giant blind spot to it.

She is most totally going to be fully baked for dinner. Love this scene.

From just a week ago. We're putting all our eggs in just a couple of baskets in too many areas of our lives.

It sure does feel dark. Hugs, @scribblegurl.bsky.social Hang in there.

You could very well be right. Unfortunately, whether he is in it for himself or not, the pattern on the part of the Party is clear. True progressives are generally sidelined and marginalized.
comment in response to post
Ken Martin, Matt Bennett, Liam Kerr and all the other more visible party operatives like Conor Lamb, Abigail Spanberger and Josh Gottheimer. You can throw in folks like Elissa Slotkin, Tom Suozzi and Ritchie Torres as well.

The party doesn't like young people energy. Too confrontational, too disruptive, too upsetting to the megadonors. They get scared easily, you see, and their fee-fees are easily wounded.

Hogg wanted to primary feckless Democrats who did nothing to advance progressive causes. Caused a lot of drama for the establishment DNC types, including the new Chair, who only wanted money spent to unseat GOPers. So they used a technicality to get rid of him and force a new election.

And stand up rallies and lead chants of "we will win," and "we won't stop!"

I'm surprised it's as high as 41%. I guess that's 41% that aren't paying attention.
comment in response to post
I changed to "unaffiliated" last summer after being a Democrat for 40 years. This confirms I was right to do so. Hogg is the future. Any attempts to wrest the Democratic Party away from the megadonors fails. Dems are defunct, feckless, rudderless, leaderless. Didn't have to be this way.

yeah, if you look carefully at the video, it's all the same few locations again and again and again, just different angles from different news agencies and streamers. It's amazing how people can be fooled by this.

I remember at my (artsy) college, one of my roommates had all these Beach Boys albums among the Clash, Sex Pistols, Sonic Youth, Pixies and I was like, "huh?" He's like "listen... really listen." That was my introduction to Pet Sounds and Smiley Smile, + I started to appreciate the older stuff.

They made us feel it, no matter where we were.

We just aren't made for these times.

As long as his message is strong and gets above the noise, is backed by action, and he stops giving a platform to the opposition, I'm OK. The problem is, people like him and Cory Booker only seem to be able to be on the right side for a limited time. Then they're back on the side of the donors.
comment in response to post
He's a narcissist and a showboat, but I'm grateful for his strong stance and communication right now. He seems to be one of the very few standing up and getting above the noise. I understand why that is, but others need to find a way to make news with their opposition in this moment as well.
comment in response to post
He probably doesn't even know it. That's how racist he is. He's marinating in it.

Nice!!
comment in response to post
100%. None of this changes until leadership changes in the Democratic Party from top to bottom. David knows. Everyone else thinks this is business as usual. It ain't. Not by a long shot.

Always the same names. Kinda disappointed to see Vindman's name on that list.

If that $51 trillion excess had been evenly distributed between every single American, we would each have around $150k each if my math is correct. If divided by # of American households, it's around $400k per household. The mind reels.
comment in response to post
Was a Democrat for 40 years. Went unaffiliated last year after the megadonors and party "leaders" pulled a coup. My money's on "morons," because: timeline is effed and money rules the day.
comment in response to post
We will all lose because of these people. Ffs. I hate this timeline.

I'll take his money and his publicity for anti-MAGA causes, but that doesn't mean we have to buy his shitty products - privately or via taxpayer funds. Let's have him set up a good decade of restitution first, then maybe we can talk...
comment in response to post
ROI is good, no complaints. We made the house more efficient after the installation, hence the surplus. However, our cars are old, and I have bought my last ICE vehicle, so the situation is likely to change soon.
comment in response to post
"I'm sorry if you were offended." And amazingly, it got worse from there. Truly, these are the very worst people. And Americans keep electing them to represent them.
comment in response to post
I guess it's a good thing for presidents that there's no enforcement then.
comment in response to post
Nailed it. Also, I think we've all met completely unreachable and unreasonable people in our life. That's Chase, and it makes him even more chilling to watch as an adult because -as you said - you know there is NO appeal to his humanity. He has none. Now I need to watch this serial again lol.
comment in response to post
Couldn't agree more. Recent non-blockbuster recs: Ghostlight, Bottoms, I Saw the TV Glow, After Yang I try to see indie films in the theater to support the artists.

TIL my favorite Mini Cooper is actually not a Mini Cooper at all. 😆🤷‍♂️
comment in response to post
I was just thinking I needed to look him up and see him in something else because honestly, I think he's one of THE best Doctor Who villains - so cold, dismissive, unreachable. Exactly the opposite of villains I never got into (e.g., The Master, with the penchant for melodrama).

Just waiting for Noem to claim these kids are really MS-13.

Oh, and The Face of Evil is my #1 in all of Who. Continues to be relevant on so many levels. I guess the really great writers tap into that immortal magic.

Wow. That's fantastic! I still need to see Star Cops. It's on my watchlist. I should move it up!
