It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

I wrote about how Bo Burnham's 'Inside' has become a curious time capsule that unintentionally demonstrates exactly where and how we went wrong: jasonpargin.substack.com/p/in-which-i...

Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing

One thing that is clear right now is that most elected Democrats and their circles understand politics as an intellectual exercise rather than a battle for power with real world consequences. If it’s all just debate club, then by definition, nothing can be a crisis meriting an exceptional response.

Not only is that not clear, it is the precise opposite of what people want. I will never understand the obsession with this group of Americans that exist only in the imaginations of the most feckless politicians imaginable.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

Dan Campbell, they say, is as sharp as any mind in the game. He just doesn’t care if anyone knows it. Everyone sees the brawn — the spicy soundbites, the raucous locker room videos. But a secret from his players: in on a secret: It’s the brains, too. www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

Every other year or so, I've written a new recipe for the Honolulu Blue Kool Aid cocktail, since 2015. It's also never just a recipe because I have a lot to say about life and a little about the Detroit Lions. This year it's about the LA fires. #onepride www.prideofdetroit.com/2025/1/13/24...

Opposing the majority party is being the opposition party; signing on to what the majority party does makes you the junior partner in a governing coalition. When they succeed you get zero credit and when they fail you share blame. This isn’t hard, nor is it new ground.
