The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Run on *that*

“Ah, just one more thing, sir. You’re blowing up those boats, saying they’re filled with drugs headed for the US. But then you go and pardon the guy who brought in 400 tons of cocaine. That’s billions of doses. Help me understand that.”

This would have all been a lot easier if I wasn’t so worried about the stupid humans.

Okay, never thought I’d be stoked on an Attorney General but Oregon’s is killing it against the current climate.
Did you know? The Oregon Department of Justice has a Gender-Affirming Care Toolkit available on our website.

Gender-affirming care is protected in Oregon, and everyone in Oregon – regardless of gender identity – deserves to live with dignity and respect.

Fuck Larry Summers. Every journalist and podcaster who went to him for opinion should feel shame right now. As for me, he was disqualified from serious thought when he said women weren’t as good at math as men. How can you take anyone seriously who believes that? Oh yeah, sexism and patriarchy
Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

It could be one more weird anomaly in this unending cycle of what the fuck.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

So much work remains to be done.

Definitely learned the lesson from Tuesday’s election according to this headline:

Fire Douthat! He sucks!
The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Ross Douthat is a bad faith hack who hides his despicable beliefs behind being nominally anti-Trump. I will comment on every piece he does that the NYT should fire him.
The question being asked by the NYT after an election that promoted MANY women to power.

It’s not a question.
It’s a comment.
An attack.
the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

"A lot of us are going to come under direct attack, and a lot of us are going to resist by building solidarity and sanctuary": the solidarity with those under attack has been one of the most beautiful responses to the consequences of the 2024 election.

This is true for the decades long race toward white supremacist fascism the Right has been running. From Mitch McConnell to the hack assholes at Fox.

Klein is right that Dems have to win in red states and that the party should be engaging in some soul-searching right now.

But the soul-searching should begin with basic facts. Moderation *is* the current strategy and Dems are losing despite having a popular agenda. More of the same won't fix it.

I'd like to see progressives grow a spine and talk about how good immigration is. Just because the narrative of immigration harm is manufactured doesn't mean it can't hurt you — as is obvious.

If you didn't go into politics with the guts to shift narratives, it's the wrong line of work for you.
immigration is good actually
Our latest polling shows concerns about immigration are manufactured

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Now is the time to reach out to your friends and family in the military to talk about the administration’s threats to send active duty troops to US cities. Tell them you’ll support their legal obligation to refuse to deploy unconstitutionally.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
