This is my fourth account, after recovering from three consecutive *crack ping*s I'm back to do some libwatching and hopefully tell some funny jokes along the way.

[transly] feel what now?
One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.

i can’t quite explain it but “standing up as opposition doesn’t work” doesn’t seem like good optics for an opposition party to have
SENATOR ANGUS KING: "Standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. It actually gave him more power."

DSA and Working Families Party have meetings FYI
To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them.
I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

it is the end of the han dynasty.
a tyrant has seized the capitol.
the ten collaborators have bowed to his villainy.
there is plague and corruption in the land.
but there are still heroes everywhere.

Trump is making independent spending decisions, one chamber of congress refuses to convene, the other can't muster opposition lasting longer then a few weeks, the highest court in the land is nakedly corrupt, what exactly *is* the Federal Government at this point if not just an illusion of inertia?

Strong reason to suspect if Jesus came back and saw the US he’d immediately become a third world Maoist
American Jesus, dishing out the loaves and fishes to followers that can afford to pay him, and telling the poor to pull themselves together or fuck off.

His name was Ernesto "Ché" Guevara, and when they killed him, he said, "Shoot! For you are only going to kill a man!"

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Weird way to spell capitalist donors
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The International Olympic Committee is set to ban trans and intersex women from competition. This is despite the fact that for 20 years, the IOC has allowed trans athletes to compete and only 1 has ever competed and none have ever won a medal.

The left-right axis in the Democratic Party is, as I keep saying, no longer the core point of rupture. It's fight and don't fight, and Team Fight has all the momentum and energy.

I am working on a story that involves some of the ways people really are standing up in this moment. There really is a groundswell and it's not coming from DC.
I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
