Not that it will but the willingness of Americans to obey is a very funny contrast with our self-image and should probably prompt some reflection bsky.app/profile/jonf...

Already made a note in my calendar to look out for next year's FIFA Peace Prize recipient. Cannot wait to confirm my suspicion that this "annual" prize was a one-time ass-kissing.

a charitable version of me thinks this also looks like someone listening to their favorite song. Although in this case the song is just loud sounds of lips smacking against his ass.

That swing in the Black vote of 15% or so is huge, holy-moly.
Lower-income people are less likely to vote than higher-income people, across racial groups - and that gap has been growing.
That’s a real problem for the future of US democracy.
It’s not apathy or ignorance - for many, it’s a sense that politics is not for or about them.

Friends, I'm trying to purchase some Arduino kits for my engineering classes. If you're able to either purchase or share, I'd be so appreciative!

@rosen.senate.gov you're negotiating the end of the shutdown for the promise of process as opposed to concrete concessions?? Is the Senate seat so warm that you are afraid to swing big and lose it? Stay in the fight. GOP is fully in charge and your concessions to them make it more so.

I will never be brave enough to canvass, but I so deeply appreciate people who do.
A story! Most of the 7 hours of canvassing I did today was educating people about when they could vote and celebrating the people voting for Zohran (yay to our amazing pep squad! we had a cow bell! we got cars honking for voters! so much fun!). But most meaningful was...

I agree with this and I think it puts me outside of the analysis of some people I respect. I think that some of us don't understand the Right as having its own specific social program and adherents INDEPENDENT of the Left(s).
The left did not create the right through its own mistakes. The right is not some passing reaction to the left, some temporary fever that can be cured with just the right policy tweaks.
The right exists! Reactionaries want what they want no matter what the left does or doesn't do.

The privately funded ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet, much larger than the White House itself.

The opposition is handed troves of communication goldmines. I mean, leveling parts of the White House? Shooting priests in the head? Detaining Senators? Shitting on the American public from a fighter jet? Racist videos? All of it should be on every screen/b-board across the nation.

this is a dumb idea, but it appeals to me. What if @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just started holding legislative sessions of just Dems. And start presenting legislation you would LIKE to pass. Real legislation you think will be a big hit with the public.

Ok, Janet Mills it is. smh, we're running out of feet to shoot ourselves in.
Why are we even having this conversation at all. This entire conversation should just be “fuck this guy” and then we all go on with our lives confident in the fact that we kept another Nazi out of office.

The saving grace here for our democracy is that these people are overwhelmingly not original. A line of attack has worked once and now everyone is a Marxist pro-Hamas antifa all the time. It becomes a parody and people don't take you seriously.
Mike Johnson on CNBC: "I think it has a lot to do with the 'Hate America Rally' that's gonna be on the Mall on Saturday. You're gonna have all the antifa and BLM and pro-Hamas people, all the Marxists will be on the Mall."
