They're literally defining merit by whiteness, because they cannot ever believe that a non-white and/or non-male individual could ever actually succeed on merit

here is the thing about the “argument” that democrats should have run roughshod over the law when they had the chance: it is much easier to break the law to destroy a program than break the law to create one.

This is the kind of thing that gets through to the median voter. That and "Trump has declared himself King".

Off the top of my head: To pay for campaign ads, phone banking, office space, utilities, literature printing, postage, renting venues for campaign rallies, pens & clipboards, food & drink for volunteers and any number of other campaign expenses.

"We can only do things once you organize!" "We can only organize once you do things!" These two statements are the chicken-and-egg reasoning why the response to Trump seems so stilted and paralyzed.

"it is a party's job to earn your vote" rather than "participating in the government of a republic is a citizen's duty" is just decadence.

Just a day ago, Hakeem Jeffries went on the #1 Podcast in the US, Meidas Touch, to lay out Dems' plans to fight back against Trump and what people should do to fight back against Trump. At this point, I just have to believe that the angry people aren't actually listening to Dems.

Short of an authoritarian autogolpe by Dems, which would have been diffused by SCOTUS just like every other positive Executive action Dems tried to take, nobody has managed to reason out how Dems could have totally clinched the election in the face of an electorate that didn't care about facts.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

Lots of people think it's pointless to call out GOPers on capitulation to Trump. Here's why it's not. You need to make this claimed helplessness visible. You need to make it clear Jerry Moran has PLENTY of tools to rein in Musk, but has chosen not to use them. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Again I am begging people in the media to note the legality of these actions in their headlines or blurbs. A post office is literally written into the constitution.

Stinks of massive projection. Not just for the sheer amount of graft, but for the sheer amount of military ambitions this admin has just for these two assholes' personal enrichment.

I’m not sure the world has seen a genuine supervillain until 2025. Of course there’ve been countless monsters: hitler, Stalin, pol pot. But a real life figure who fits the Gotham/Metropolis model. Plutocrat bigwig who is actually deeply evil & wants to run the world for cartoonishly stupid reasons.

I despise this revisionist history about the Biden term as if Biden and Dems didn't try to do a bunch of stuff and either had votes 49 and 50 in the Senate or the SCOTUS kick them in the teeth and say "No, only Republicans get to exercise power, fuck you forever!"
