"We've sat here and listened to Trump talk about grocery prices and rent prices and housing prices and egg prices. Yet what’s been done to take on ANY of these issues? How is eliminating DEI gonna lower your grocery costs? How is a withdrawal from the WHO gonna lower your grocery costs? It’s not."

Saw a "Democratic strategist" say "we have to earn people's trust back." Just mind-boggling that so many don't understand how this works. Did voters in 2024 say "I trust the Republican Party"? No. They were mad at those in power. Democrats have to get them mad at Republicans. It's not complicated.

www.theverge.com/2025/1/13/24... This isn’t going to fix the Sonos app but Spence’s resignation is long overdue. He’s still getting almost $2M in stock and stays on the payroll until June which is infuriating and yet typical.

The written analysis attached to this post includes great recommendations for Democrats and the DNC. I particularly like that the DNC should start treating party members as partners and information warriors rather than ATMs and to have the DNC be a central communications hub similar to KamalaHQ.

We are facing a moment when much will change for the worse, not just in policy, but in the structure of politics itself. We need to be imagining a better America. A Shadow Cabinet would be a positive form of opposition. snyder.substack.com/p/shadow-cab...

Card I made for my mom’s birthday. In retrospect I probably should’ve drawn her dog instead of mine but her dog is white and how do you paint a white dog anyway?

I’ve got this rule too, just no one posts on my feed so it is easier to enforce. Thanks in advance though.
