I'm going to say it. I think it's not going to be popular—especially with mainstream Dems—but I'm going to say it. In the history of politics since I've been alive, no premise has come closer to "trying to make 'fetch' happen" than the effort by media and some pols to say Biden had dementia as POTUS

I REALLY hope 39% of the remaining 40% get their shit together soon & start giving a crap about the MAJORITY of Americans. Is that so hard, CBS??? WTAF.

Try Michigan, it's beautiful & we love visitors! Now that Canadians are rightfully boycotting the USA we could handle more tourists.

A plea. Can we stop declaring this a “constitutional crisis?” It’s bigger. It’s a crisis about fundamental American ideals and structures. “Constitutional crisis” makes it sound like an abstract lawyerly crisis It’s bigger.

I've been saying this for years. Belief in American exceptionalism blinds people to what is happening right before their eyes.

Hey folks. This needs to be said. Loudly. Crawford's win in Wisconsin is a big deal. Democracy beat bribery. A Democrat won a heated electoral contest. Public opinion was against Musk/DJT. We are in the midst of a struggle, and it sure as hell isn't over.

DITTO for MAILERS. Complete waste of money & paper. Have I mentioned how much I despise the consultant class & their incestuous relationships w/ vendors? Some of you will say I shouldn't criticize our side, but we're not exactly a well-oiled machine over here & there is room for improvement.

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months Recognize when Dems stand up & push back. You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action. Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up. Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

Rep. Greg Casar (D-TX) urges Dems to drop purity tests and embrace economic populism—being bolder and making Social Security protection a rallying cry to win back working-class voters. Dems should "pick villains" in the GOP and accuse them of using social issues to distract from economic ones.

In light of the current darkness created by MAGA, I have aquired all the documents I was missing that detail my name changes from the one on my birth certificate. Go ahead you fascist fuckers, ask me for my papers. I have them. I encourage other women to do the same.

THIS IS FUCKING BRILLIANT. Watch full Saturday Night Live open from beginning to end. With the craziness around how dangerous these leaks were, the reference to the eggplant emoji showing up in the thread seems something deserving of more attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLtI...
