“Cheer up,” they said. Things could be worse.

So I did.

And they were.

So, should Dems have spiked COVID relief and stimulus in 2020 until after the election when they took a trifecta?

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

i have very unfavourable feelings about the democratic party and i would crawl over broken glass to vote for it

Sahil Kapur @sahilkapur.bsky.social · 4d

CBS News poll shows the Democratic Party's favorable rating at 34%, with 66% disapproving. Again, part of the reason is weak approval with their own base — 1 in 5 Democrats view it unfavorably. That's twice the share of Republicans with an unfavorable view of their party.

I printed these and handed them out outside DOL during Trump 1.

A simpler time.

And it’s not a coincidence both came to prominence through the liberal media by offering “necessary correctives” to imagined liberal bubbles.

Bari Weiss and JD Vance are very similar figures with very similar skills.

imo it is not feasible for the sitting uk government to publicly break with the sitting us government, as much as we (and they) surely all would love it

The split in Your Party has broken into the open.

Jeremy Corbyn urges supporters not to donate to the link promoted by Zarah Sultana. Sultana responds calling it a "sexist boys club."

At a hearing on Sept 10, residents shared their thoughts about the plan with members of the Montgomery County Council.

One resident told 7News he fears community feedback isn’t having an impact.

I truly do not know how our people will ever be clean of this moral stain.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk:

"Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

It’s not simply important to denounce political violence because it looks bad not to. It’s the right thing to do on the merits. Even more specifically to this moment it’s important because the forces of fascism are inherently better at political violence than the forces of civic democracy.
