I'm more than a little surprised to see that Warner and I are on the same page here. If Democrats adhere to any sort of rules of fair play, balance, or "civility," we are all truly screwed. In 2025, all of that has to be put aside. The viability of U.S. democracy is on the line.

Senator Mark Warner @markwarner.bsky.social · 12h

I’ve long supported nonpartisan redistricting and fair maps, but Donald Trump has spent months trying to rig the system instead of actually tackling rising costs for Americans. It’s no surprise that Democrats in places like Virginia would be thinking through appropriate ways to respond.

Pete Buttigieg endorses aid restrictions to Israel, Seth Moulton is running away from AIPAC at full speed, Mallory McMorrow says it's a genocide, meanwhile Cory Booker says that asking if Netanyahu is a war criminal is unfair.

What the hell is happening? I take a stab at it in the piece below.

Democrats Are Getting a Brutal Lesson in How Much the Politics on Israel Have Changed

From Pete Buttigieg to Gavin Newsom, party bigwigs are finding out the hard way that the old platitudes don’t work anymore.

His inexperience shows in not addressing this (removing the tattoo) before he started campaigning, and waiting to address it until he was caught. There is a disingenuous and arrogant theme in his replies. Of course I'll support whatever D wins the primary, but I'm not a Mainer, so . . .

As you read about how deftly Abbe Lowell contrasts "purported interim US Attorney Lindsey Halligan's" ineptitude w/his client, "Attorney General James," remember that on top of being a dumbass, Lindsey is also the bigot who was in the process of removing pictures of slavery out of the Smithsonian.

Here's the kind of sanctions avoidance Changpeng Zhao facilitated, from his sentencing memo.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Zhao also admits that between August 2017 and October 2022—according to the
company’s own data—“Binance caused . . . at least $890 million in transactions between
U.S. users and users Binance identified as Iranians,” plus “millions more in transactions
between U.S. users and users in other comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions, including
Cuba, Syria, and the Ukrainian regions of Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk.” Id. ¶ 9.o. The
company “profited significantly from its violations of law,” including through the
“significant fees” it earned “on transactions between U.S. customers and customers in
comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions.” Id. ¶ 9.p. The hundreds of millions of dollars
involved in trades that violated U.S. sanctions, and the fees that Binance earned from
processing those trades, became proceeds of unlawful activity. Binance facilitated later
transfers of those proceeds, including when its customers withdrew their funds from the
exchange. Zhao knew about the users in comprehensively sanctioned areas, did not direct
Binance to implement controls that would have prevented Binance from matching U.S.
users with users subject to U.S. sanctions to conduct cryptocurrency transactions, and those
transactions were a clear and foreseeable result of Zhao’s decision to prioritize profit and
growth over compliance with the BSA.

@grahamformaine.bsky.social you lost me. Parts of your response are disingenuous, and certainly callous towards Jews and other victims of Nazi atrocities. Your response to the tattoo & reddit controversy shows a problematic lack of judgement. Please consider alternatives to US Senate candidacy

The population of Iceland is 389,444, half of them women. 90% turned out in 1975.

If only we could get 25% of OUR population to do this. That would be 60,000,000 people.

kvennaar.is/english/

Women's Strike on Friday
Friday October 24th 2025 we call for a Women’s strike for the whole day.
On Friday, October 24, 2025, women and non-binary people are encouraged to stop both paid and unpaid work for the entire day, just as women did in 1975 in Iceland.
The programme is two fold; a history march, which is a carnival of the history of women's rights in Iceland, and then an outdoor meeting at Arnarhóll, with speeches and music.
The picture below is from 2023, where half the women of Iceland gathered. You're welcome too, especially if you're female or non-binary. We all need to band together and take a stance against gender based violence and the undervaluation of women's labour at home and in the job market.

Republicans are already scheming to lock in power they can’t win honestly.

Prop 50 is how we stop them. It puts redistricting back in our hands, not theirs.

A YES vote means fair maps, real representation, and a Congress that answers to voters — not party bosses. VOTE #YesOnProp50
