Yeah I’m going to keep hammering this drum: who the armed men in the employ of the state are loyal to is consequential, they are not an undifferentiated mass, and specifics matter a lot here. Blue state govs and big city mayors need to be quietly looking through FEC records and making staff changes

i think this fundamentally misstates the constraint: if he uses the police to directly obstruct ICE operations, he gets hit with the Insurrection Act. if he puts the cops in a position where they have to choose which orders to follow, they will currently not pick the governor.

starch mogul @posts-cards.bsky.social · 2d

this kind of wishcasting around pritzker ignores that he hasn't once wielded the power of the state in a creative way since DHS and ICE invaded us

the rhetoric's good and he plays a governor on TV very well, but there's no evidence of a capacity for clever use of power, unfortunately

Nope, I'm not either. It was just....you could see this happening like 15 years ago. The scene was *very much* committed to direct action, and both him and his partner built their careers sorta off of that, but there was always a disjunct between the potential danger and their assessment of it.

Tish, please use this newfound notoriety to run for governor.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Trump's handpicked U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan — who brought charges against James Comey — just presented evidence to a grand jury in the hopes of bringing criminal charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James.

It is sad-tragic for me because I knew him/his partner way back. He always traveled in anarcho communist/syndicalist circles, but he was always "The book guy who rarely got his hands dirty" and that has sorta bit him in the ass as he hasnt been well equipped to deal with intimidation.

"Governing by Online Crashout" is certainly a *new thing* but I wouldn't say its conducive to the thousand year Trumpenreich.

All this admin knows how to do is double down and make more content. It's literally falling apart in front of them and so they just buckle down and poast harder.

These are simple questions, AG Bondi.

Three-panel graphic featuring Senator Whitehouse questioning Attorney General Pam Bondi.

First panel: Sen. Whitehouse, 'Did the FBI find photos of Trump with half-naked young women in their search of Jeffrey Epstein’s premises?'

Second panel: Sen. Whitehouse, 'You don’t know anything about that?'

Third panel: Pam Bondi, [refuses to answer]

I kind of can’t believe this Bari Weiss quote is even real, and yet www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/b...

“I know that there are some people in this room who don’t believe that my marriage should have been legal … and that’s ok. Because we’re all Americans who want lower taxes.”

I'm less concerned. "The president is a magic king" seems to be the average low info voter view, and dem partisans will remain amped and gop sad because Trump's dementia will accelerate.

How are they conflating "Can put together a rough 50% coalition on a council, but no Mayor" to "Is in charge of the city of Portland"

They get better at it, but never *that much better* unfortunately. At least that seems to be the case so far with the 2 year old

My favorite "White Ethnic" thing during this time of year is exceptionally Italian guys wishing my wife a "Happy Yom Kippur." It never stops being funny to me

If your response to Jewish people being stabbed to death and mowed down by a car in Manchester is “Gaza” you’re a charlatan and an antisemite and you need to get in the fucking bin.

I’ve had enough. Jews have had enough.

And you’re no ally of the Palestinian people if you behave like this.

Affluent families sending their kids to public school is a very good thing, purely from an institutional stability perspective, giving them a gifted program that is disproportionately but far from exclusively used by them is an extremely cheap bribe.
