Remember that time Howard Dean yelled out the names of states and then wasn’t allowed to run for office ever again?

“Be a decent human being” seems like revolutionary advice in 2025.

I’m so confused. So it happened to both ZB and Dave? Same guy?!

Steve Cleff @stevecleff.bsky.social · 11d

Great perspective Les. Glad PHLY was smart enough to bring on board when they did

Did you see that it was @dzangaro.bsky.social who got the compliment from the guy doing the perp walk, not ZB? I tagged in a comment on Dave’s post on IG. Btw, love both your work and Dave’s.

Camden County here, I see and hear many ads from both campaigns. Very concerned it’s so close too. That’s why I’m canvassing, phone banking, and text banking.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210"

It reads:

"Dear Joel:

I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country.

I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities.

Sincerely yours,

Charles M. Schulz"

What I know from being Black my whole life, and poor for the majority of it, is that politely ignoring a root issue to attend to one closer to the surface is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. It’s a band-aid on a gaping wound, and it will not hold your flesh together for long. The US needs stitches.

Jalen Carter holding his right hand a couple of plays ago. Maybe something to watch

You know, all we’d have to do to get him to admit to making it, is point out that (ignoring the horrific message for a second) it’s a terrible poem. It’s always about the ego.

I don’t know much about Sabrina Carpenter but I saw the clip from that interview where she was talking about how artists don’t have to be for everyone & she goes, “I’m okay if Tommy from Arkansas doesn’t like what I do” and I think more political leaders and media owners should internalize this lol

Banning porn doesn’t seem like a problem if you don’t consume porn. But they will just keep expanding the definition of what porn is until it bans something you do want access to.
