the absolute most charitable thing you can say about a lot of democratic lawmakers is that they want to hold onto a political order that no longer exists

Gavin Newsom is stealing my fucking jokes

At this point there’s no question Gavin Newsom is a Republican and he is working to indoctrinate centrist liberals towards the fascist right.

There’s no reason to have a Democratic Party if it won’t go to the mat to save the Department of Education. It’s a fundamental belief that children in America deserve better futures. It’s tremendously simple. You cannot continue funding a government that would close this.

Also painful: hearing that those people’s “sincere beliefs” are that you’re mentally ill and don’t deserve rights. What a stupid thing to say, Arno.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

I swear to God they could start building camps in this country and half the Democrats in Congress would go on social media and say, "Don't take the bait."

Andrew Cuomo, like very mayoral candidate since Guiliani, wants to overfund the police by running on "NYC is a city on fire warzone just like the movies THE WARRIORS or ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK" and some dipshit NY'ers will fall for it yet again

Very proud to hire human artists (at rates both less and more than $700, depending on the work) on a near daily basis. I can’t think of a single working artist, working on commissions at this level, that could remotely be considered part of the bourgeoisie, petite or otherwise. Support artists!

It’s been a week of a Cuomo campaign and we’ve already reached the stage of “What if Eric Adams but worse?”
