The only thing that can halt the ongoing MAGAfication of the judiciary is a Democratic senate win in November. If you’re not thinking about how to win in Texas, Alaska, Iowa, Ohio, Kansas, and Florida you’re asking the wrong question.

If you feel weird about being festive when the world's like this, we wrote a book for you about celebrating Christmas under a dictator.
It wasn't a religious holiday in the days of curfew in Korea, it was an act of resistance.
Here's an antifascist Christmas carol from No Rules Tonight.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

The people who showed up to vote for a write-in dem candidate in a Trump+50 special election 2 days before Christmas are democracy's strongest soldiers.
Polls closed in SC at 7 PM ET. Results here: www.enr-scvotes.org/SC/125770/we...
Still *super* early, but in the uncontested #SD21 (around Trump+50), write-ins are currently getting 42% of the vote against Republican Lee Bright.

The new Knives Out movie is good. Two takes:
*It works because Blanc is not the dominant character.
*It will get hate from the right because the worst protagonists are right wing coded, but the core themes - power of faith, community, institutions - are actually quite conservative
