The Republican Party is evil. You can disagree with me on when they became evil, but let’s agree that they’re evil and they’re doing evil things. I have disagreements with elected Dems, some of which you might not agree on. But Republicans are doing really evil shit. Let’s fight them, not us.

Kellen Browning isn’t even following the guidelines the New York Times publicly claims their reporters are expected to adhere to. He has a cause that he’s trying to advance, and journalistic ethics are secondary to that agenda. www.nytimes.com/editorial-st...

She's my governor and honestly I could not be happier with her.
She is pragmatic and effective, and she gives no fucks whatsoever about bad faith Republican bullshit.

Fight versus retreat is the real axis people need to be focusing on. Run an election race however you need to in order to win, but then when you’re in office, you better fight for real progress.

I was searching for the Bill Kristol meme and found this post, and given that Marco Rubio is now trying to make Cuba a US colony, maybe statehood is the better approach.

We need to go much further than that. The culture of ICE/CBP has been fucked up for a long time, even before Trump 1. Both agencies (and really DHS as a whole) need major reform.

I thought Gallego’s stance on ICE was interesting, especially since he represents a border state that Trump won. Tear it down to the studs and rebuild immigration enforcement in way that works. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Gallego: "I think ICE needs to be totally torn down. People want immigration enforcement that goes after criminals and focuses on criminals, not the goon squad that has come from Stephen Miller and Donald Trump."

It seems pretty obvious at this point that Maxwell leaked the existence of this letter as a signal to Trump that she had the goods on him, and she was subsequently rewarded for agreeing to keep quiet.
