I am operating on the assumption that we're getting a vote in 2026, and every mother fucker who abstained because of some dumbass reason needs to drill this into thier fucking skulls by then AND VOTE. Democrats may be useless fucks, but they aren't TRYING TO KILL YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

I realize no one wants to hear context and "how we got here" when things are so knife-edged right now. But if we really want to make this a "reforming" moment we need to push for the reigning in of presidential power and authority. The problem is that both sides like that when they have it.

He’s an absolute idiot but he accidentally identifies why media generally hold us to a higher standard. We’re supposed to follow the rules. The other guy? Not so much.

i am 100% of the belief that simply forcing take-writers to answer the question "who specifically said this and why are they significant" would result in substantially fewer bad takes circulating in the world

Fun fact: The heroes of Heathen myth do *not* fight fair and neither did the Vikings. They did what worked and employed the tactics of raiders & pirates without shame. Modern Heathens, Pagans, and Witches struggling for survival or justice could learn from that. #HeathenSky #PaganSky #WitchSky

You know how people sometimes complain about how now that therapy has been mainstreamed, bad people use therapy language to legitimate their bad behavior? It's like that with history too. A real historian would not say "this has happened in the past" full stop and expect it to be an argument
