If my mom was here, she'd tell you not to encourage me.

My Fist of Resistance is back at home after three months of lighting the way to the door of Democratic headquarters in Newtown CT.

I offer to loan it to @repjahanahayes.bsky.social for midterms, if she wants!

It is clearly doing its job. We swept on Tuesday, won every race. @ctdems.bsky.social

He means he thinks HE deserves better.

Of course he does.

I am reminded today that I once looked at Dick Cheney and thought "Well, that's about as fascist as you can get in America and still get elected."

So naive.

Note on Springsteen: even if I disliked his music -- the effort and heart he has put into causes and behind candidates for the last 20 years would have endeared him to me. I can't hear " No Surrender" without thinking of October 2004.

My growing-up soundtrack ... So many songs I still know most of the words to.

Just bought a 12-string. I am back at the maximum number of guitars I will allow myself, which is three.

I saw Bruce Springsteen at the very beginning of his career, before "Born to Run." And I saw him on Broadway a couple of years ago. Nothing in between. Not a fanatic, in other words.

Saw the movie yesterday. It's good, better than the reviews. It's not about the music though.

I always wanted more from Obama.

But being disappointed in a president is so much better than being horrified by one.

“wife mad at you? DEI”

he’s still got it, folks

I’m not going to lie, there’s a tiny part of me that wants to see them pull this third term shit in a way that lets Trump run against Obama the way he always wanted to and get absolutely obliterated

Obama: They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and D.E.I. For every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? D.E.I.. Wife mad at you? D.E.I..

Chanting loudly "I'm rubber you're glue" works for that.

Do people who make more than $1M a year know what they sound like when they complain about maybe having their taxes go up 2 percent?

Billionaires are spending big to stop Zohran Mamdani's NYC mayoral bid

Bill Ackman, Ronald Lauder, William Lauder, Barry Diller and Dan Loeb have all made large donations to stop Mamdani. So have several non-New Yorkers.

The president will see your post and Bruce will be deported.

Jeff Schult @tftb.com · 8d

Mayor Z!!!!

👍❤️

Jeff Schult @tftb.com · 8d

I'm going to. Starting now. Vote for Mayor Z!!

CTLook @ctlook.com · 8d

Once Mamdani is elected, can we all just call him Mayor Z?

I kinda like it

Jeff Schult @tftb.com · 11d

"Billionaires back Cuomo with huge donations" while government shutdown halts food benefits in NYC probably is not a great closing argument for Andrew.

Even if this is a false positive -- #AVG and #Avast have some explaining to do.

Because when software starts flagging political/academic material as malicious, it is VERY GODDAMNED SUSPICIOUS.

CTLook @ctlook.com · 29d

So TrumpActionTracker.info is a terrific site for documenting the U.S.'s lurch into authoritarianism.

And #AVG antivirus, owned by #Avast, is flagging the site as "malicious," which it is not from any technical standpoint. What gives, AVG and Avast? If you use these programs, please speak up.

AVG antivirus claims the "Trump Action Tracker" is malicious. It is not.

POWERLESS is at last a book! The story of a storekeeper trying to carve out a little freedom in the West Coast People's Democratic Republic, and of the WCPDR trying to carve out a little in a Marxist-Leninist-Stalinist world.
