Sung to the tune of "The Hockey Song." It's fun!
Nazis show up, we throw up,
People know they’re lame.
Someone says, “Hey, watch this,”
And throws a good ol’ Nazi punch.
Oh! A good ol’ Nazi punch
Is the best punch of the bunch
Yes, the best punch of the bunch

Merger of state with corporate power (Not electric power) is a feature of what?
Ordering the Pentagon to “buy” coal power when it doesn’t control the grid is peak performative stupidity. It’s like commanding gravity to change direction. #TrumpHasShitForBrains

Trump orders Pentagon to buy power from coal plants
Trump declared coal essential to U.S. national and economic security last April.

A great comment on media in this day and age contrasting it to the past. Anything like this today would be labelled "woke."
A 62-year-old TV show demonstrates just how badly the prevailing ethics portrayed in US television have degenerated in that time: maggiemcneill.com/2026/02/09/s...

I’m currently re-watching The Fugitive, one of the high points of 20th-century television drama. Like many of the shows I enjoy, I was too young to remember the show in its initial run (1963…

This is a very good post for understanding the Texas electorate. If my Democratic friends want to flip the Senate in 2026, you need win Texas. In Texas it's about NOT losing rural counties 2:1 to the R candidate. You don't need to win them you just need to narrow the margin you lose by.

A 🧵 on the TX Democratic primary (Crockett vs Talarico).
Texas is widely misunderstood. A scroll through Bluesky reveals myths—from “Texas is uniformly racist” to “what works on the East Coast will work here.” My goal is to help you think differently about elections in Texas. #Texas #Democrats

Do not taunt happy fun Olympic rings.
I know we joke about branding guidelines a lot, but I'm too afraid of the Olympic lawyers to even bevel the rings.

Wouldn't it equally be "an assault" to cast any non-Greek who doesn't speak, read or write Greek?
Forgive me, Jesus, because I genuinely deeply enjoy how perpetually unhappy and desolate these losers are.

This entire Talarico - Crockett - TikTok thing is disheartening. Until Ds in Texas understand that to win they need to understand the analytics hurdles and strategies, they will keep losing. Turning a winnable election over to TikTok is suicide.

Good interpretation here.
This is largely suburban, largely white areas flipping blue… along with a massive shift in the latino vote back to democrats, and independents moving left.
Without these demographics, republicans can’t win in Texas. Period.

More on Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipping Texas SD9. Much has been made of Trump winning that area but take a look at the 2022 (former) GOP incumbent map vs tonight's map by precinct. The gains are immense and obvious.

About Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipping Texas SD9 in Special Election. Trump won it by 17 but the resigning 2022 winner won it by 20. Both Allred and Biden won Tarrant County. It has been "usually leans red" as opposed to "deep red." Nonetheless, a canary in a coal mine.
