A friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.

I am going to tell a story as small and close to myself as I can, before I go set luminarias outside. These lanterns, brown paper bags with sand and candles, are part of the recieved culture of New Mexico, the place where my family moved when I was 1.5 and have now lived again for nearly a decade.

The thing I wish people like Carville et al would realize is that you cannot have ‘pure populist economic rage’ if you leave out the ‘woke’ bits. It doesn’t work like that.

It’s weird to me they don’t see this, so let’s see if we can walk it out.

MAMDANI: And I just think that there are barriers, barricades, to helping Americans that we can break down
TRUMP: Uh huh
MAMDANI: And breaking down barriers? Reminds me of a certain Broadway show *smiling widely* where they worked together to break a barricade?
TRUMP: *sitting bolt upright* Phantom

One of the funny things about this is that everyone on here, including me, would be absolutely disgusted if most any establishment dem went to the WH and had the same reception.

Good. Dems not backing down in the slightest in the face of Trump's call for their execution. Keep this up, Dems. Treat Trump like *he's* the violent criminal and the real threat to our Constitution order. Because he is.

We knew the president was a rapist and now we have the strongest evidence yet that he was a child rapist. It feels weird and conspiratorial to talk about it, but it would be worse for the victims if we didn’t talk about it.

The connection between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein is no accident, but reveals a deep logic at the heart of reactionary politics.

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up.

I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

Maryland is one of the few states where Dems could redraw their House map to respond to GOP gerrymandering.

Every seats on this hypothetical map is at least Harris+10. Contrary to some Dems' concerns, this is possible while *adding* a third majority-Black seat davesredistricting.org/join/fc524d3...

For me the question is less about Platner’s personal morality or fitness for office and more about whether the left can get through it with no more than passing damage from infighting.

Maybe the only way that the left (broadest meaning) (laudatory) will be able to build a functional opposition and attract numbers is to take more action in the field. It is kind of proven at this point that online interactions, decoupled from in person interactions, tend towards toxicity.
