Nevertheless, she persisted, bitching the entire way. Queer, neurodivergent, frequently hyperbolic, kind of odd. Doesn't owe you an argument. She/her. @Jezi_Belle at the old place.

I'm a little sad he didn't register fuckyeahzohran just for the sad elder millennial vote.
"Special Delivery" was a small part of my recovery from conservative indoctrination. Glad you're here to bitterly savor this with us.

Counsel: There is election fraud in California.

Judge: What evidence do you have to support your claim of election fraud.

Counsel: It is just a fact.

Judge: But what evidence do you have to support this claim.

Counsel: None. It simply is a fact.

Judge: That's now how this works, counsel.
Pretty much sums up the entire 2020 election subversion campaign.
LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections

Q: What's the evidence of that?

LEAVITT: It's just a fact
It's entirely tertiary to the pain of those affected by it, but as someone whose only shot at some form of motherhood will be a late in life adoption/foster parenting, the fact that those systems are so abusive breaks my heart.

I want to help, but I don't want to contribute to that.

At least a lot of the Nader voters were sorry. There was a whole phenomenon of repentant Nader voters in ‘04 urging people to vote for Kerry (unfortunately, by then post 9/11 brain fever had set in).

I’ve heard barely a peep from the “protest voters” in ‘16 or ‘24 who put us in this nightmare.
I'd like to remind everybody that Dick Cheney would've never gotten the chance to commit his atrocities in the first place if literally just a THIRD of the Ralph Nader voters in New Hampshire in 2000 had voted for Gore instead.
Absolutely. A blue collar Dem could make serious waves here in Mississippi, but they'd run a Mamdani-style DemSoc out of town on a rail.

Great point here.
"Do you think the Democratic Party should follow the lead of Abigail Spanberger or Zohran Mamdani?"

What if I told you that Democrats have different audiences in different parts of the country which require different messaging and it's okay for Democrats to tailor their messaging to beat the GOP?
I'm sorry, sweetheart. We'll still be here when you get back to robot yelling, or if you need anything in the meantime. 💞

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.
It's not like Brennan has enough to do
Okay, I just saw the opening line of this and thought it was about Cheney and almost lost my shit.
Like the man said, Drew -- every single holiday!
Oh, today is already dragging. It's not even 9:30. I can't even bother @technophobia.bsky.social on Discord yet it's so early. Bleeeeech.

watching the Mamdani campaign from afar during the primary, so many things were impressive, among them the incredible work his online video team was doing to spread the message in fun, creative, educational, invigorating ways that spoke to people

this is my story about how they did it
Selling Zohran | Defector
On a cool Sunday in November, a few days after Donald Trump’s re-election, Zohran Mamdani stood on a street corner in Jamaica, Queens, holding up a hastily drawn cardboard sign that read “DID YOU VOTE...

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Spare a moment my wife. She's going through emotional whiplash today over the death of Dick Cheney, as she has lived the past 2 years of her life believing he was already dead.

His charisma is genuinely nuts. Obama-tier, if not greater.

Genuinely: it may not stop a Mayor of NYC. Especially if he delivers.
I hope I hope I hope other candidates around the country are studying him and how his campaign can win. He’s soooo fucking good at this. And that smile..😍
