the more i think about this the more i think that his campaign was a showcase for how centrists say they want democrats to campaign. the issue is that what this looks like varies from place to place. i would not expect mamdani to be able to win in virginia, but a mamdani-style campaign could!

The Bove allegations should be treated as something akin to Watergate, or Iran Contra. The administration was attempting to do something they knew was illegal (anticipating the courts saying as much), and then trying to COVER IT UP. Only here instead of it being run out of the WH or NSC, it’s DOJ

There is quite a bit of research and data that shows high temperatures increase aggression. Cops are much more likely to fire their guns when the temperature is higher, for example. There are a million little downstream effects of climate change.

Good morning and happy Tuesday to everyone. I am less concerned about Iranian sleeper cells than white wingnut evangelicals disguised as policemen openly assassinating Democrats.

Fascism 2.0. Exhibit A. Remember Enrique Tarrio? The sometime Proud Boy sentenced to 22 yrs of fed time, then presidentially pardoned on Day 1? He’s back. For his next act, he will play self-proclaimed “Czar” of ICERAID — an app that will pay you in crypto to report your undocumented neighbors.

I wrote about how the Trump administration keeps promising grand disclosures, big reveals and to finally prove various conspiracy theories true. The roots of what they're doing here lie in how the UFO movement, QAnon and serialized soap operas all function: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

this plus trump's threats to continue doing it are more than enough for congressional dems to back impeachment, in my opinion. this is different from believing impeachment would succeed (it will not).

Any explanation of this attack that doesn’t contextualize it as part of an authoritarian’s agenda to to consolidate power should be ridiculed. We need to make the country understand that this isn’t a president protecting us. It’s a wannabe dictator creating chaos and grabbing for more power.

Without "imminent threat" Trump acted unilaterally and should be impeached by Congress.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US. And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.
