If there's a Democrat you don't want to vote for, then go work your ass off in the primary for the candidate you want in the general. That's what happened in NJ with Analilia Mejia. But don't just whine about centrist Dems. And if the nominee is a centrist Dem, shut the fuck up and vote for them.

The pace at which US wealth concentration is rising is simply staggering
The concentration of AI wealth into the hands of a few tech barons + plutocratic capture ==> unchartered territory

The turning point in this was when they teased the Epstein files to the QAnon folks with the big binder show. Note how the right wingers seem to have lost interest in the files now that they know who is in them.

I find myself thinking about historian Robert Paxton’s 2004 definition of fascism far too often than I’d like these days. Note that these sentences were written back when Donald Trump was a NYC playboy libertine who donated to Democrats.

Assuming the pendulum swings to Dems, the rebuilding of the DOJ has to be a top priority. To make that work, Congress needs to reinforce DOJ's independence in ways that a future Trump cannot unwind.
The Justice Department’s top antitrust attorney, who had bipartisan support, announced her departure yesterday over conflict with department leaders on how aggressively to enforce antitrust laws. The rate at which we’re losing qualified professionals is alarming.

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

When Bondi says, "Nobody asked Garland about this," or "Why Biden didn't release the files," the response has to be this:
You're right. We all moved on when we shouldn't have. But thanks to your stunt with the QAnon "binders" we had our eyes opened. I'm sure your boss thanks you for that as do we.

I think everyone needs to apologize to these victims because if it wasn't for Pam Bondi and the Epstein "binders" even the left would have forgotten the victims. We had all moved on. But when it looked like the Trump administration was going to hang itself on a QAnon thing, everyone jumped in.

Quite a progression:
1. Disgusting video posted.
2. Outrage ensues.
3. Staffer gets blamed, no apology.
4. Time passes.
5. Staffer faces no punishment.
6. Trump defends the video content.
7. No outrage. Old news.

Q: Have you fired or disciplined the staffer who posted the video from your account that included the Obamas?
TRUMP: No I haven't. That was a video on voter fraud.

This has to be on EVERY Democrats' lips. There are children who are hurt because of Trump's pardon.

There should be a word for when you do a search of your Outlook in-box and you later look at the screen forgetting that it's showing you messages from 7 months ago, so you respond to a 7 month old email that you already responded to 7 months ago.

Now that Bill Barr is implicated in sexual abuse of minors in the Epstein files, he should be investigated as on of the last people to see Epstein alive before his death.
This is the FBI’s list of “Prominent Names” it was tracking in the Epstein Case. This list appears in this slide show, FBI email correspondence, and FBI tip sheets — all of which I saw unredacted today. Believe the survivors.
You can see this file on DOJ’s website
