"The first guest on Gavin Newsom's podcast was Charlie Kirk" is more than enough for me to say "absolutely not" to any suggestion Newsom play any role in the future of the Democratic Party. People like him are the past, the failures, the ones who got us here.

Yeah, I'm sure there was an elaborate planning session with political strategists who pull down seven figures and told Newsom that this was the Savvy Move, but this is an absolute deal-breaker.

“Get off your asses and make the world better, except we’ll never retire, we’ll make college unaffordable, housing unaffordable, childcare unaffordable, and any time you build a new industry we’ll use our hoarded wealth to buy it, fire you, and chop it up for parts.”

I'm not some electoral savant like Axelrod or Lis Smith, but I can tell you one thing. The people who are coming out of the woodwork to host and attend Tesla protests are the most normie people in the world. Teachers, engineers, teenagers, suburban parents, and they're all fucking furious...at Dems

The Mayor lies, gets the Dem Party PR machine to spread lies, & media repeats those lies uncritically… They tried to get away with this like there aren’t ppl who’ve been paying attention to the budget for years. Literally the city’s account had to call out how bad the mayor & council’s lies were.

You do not, in fact, have to wait until paragraph 5 of this story to explain that cod liver oil is not, in fact a "remedy" in any way www.nytimes.com/2025/03/04/h...

This is how you maintain discipline from/with elected officials, btw. You have to make them afraid of you, even your “friends.” Nobody gets a pass!

“…I benefit from more resistance. Line by line, poetry makes you dig deeper, listen harder.” I’ll be thinking about this as I write essays that sometimes wish they were poetry! I appreciate these questions and answers and @ellipticalnight.bsky.social robmclennan.blogspot.com/2025/02/12-o...

There's no way that Trump thinks he can keep voters after cutting social security and medicaid, destroying farm subsidies etc. So the question is: is the plan to loot & privatize as much as possible for four years until he's voted out, or is the plan to never allow for another election?

NEW: The Supreme Court, barely, upholds our three-branch system of government. A bright light — and several dark warnings — in Wednesday's 5-4 vote rejecting the Trump admin's request to toss out a district court order requiring USAID payments. This afternoon, at Law Dork.

it's the two year anniversary of the raid of the Weelaunee Forest that led to 23 domestic terrorism arrests and eventually the RICO charges. no one has even gone to trial yet. nothing deep to say, just that I still believe these prosecutions will fail, and the people will win

We have a long fight ahead. It's a marathon not a sprint. Taking care of ourselves and each other is of utmost importance or we'll get burned out. This time around, I'm trying to be more balanced. Less doomscrolling, more action. Less internet activism, more organizing in community And fun too
