Calling my mom to have her come pick me up from 2025 early it’s being mean to me

History won’t praise Democrats for playing by the rules if it’s the reason we lose our country.

I just voted #YesOn50 so we can cancel out Trump’s cheating. Join me to help save the nation.
We can’t unilaterally disarm while Republicans are still running REDMAP full time. Some estimates are that GOP gerrymandering already got them 26 seats. Prop 50 cancels out GOP fückery and then expires.

Level the playing field

"You can't defeat bad ideas by adopting them. You can't grow a coalition by selling out its members." Another useful piece from friend Moxon.

A good (long) analysis about why Ezra Klein is wrong, with “Kirk was doing politics right” and “Democrats should try running anti-abortion candidates in some areas”.
Politics is a polite debate club which hides brutality underneath. Kirk speaks words on a stage, and people die.

I wrote about why the regrettable conclusions of Ezra Klein pissed me off so badly in the last couple weeks.

On moral cowardice in an era that calls for clarity, and a popular political instinct to try to solve divisions of abuse by ignoring causes. www.the-reframe.com/eventually-y...

If you can hear this image, it's probably time to schedule your colonoscopy. If you can sing the whole song, it's also time to get your shingles vaccine.

Also to everyone who knew what Project 2025 was and couldn’t be bothered to go vote for the Black lady, frak you as well.

Here it is, my answer for every time I get asked "why don't (most) Dems just...[message better, be bolder, sound authentic...etc]"

Great (long) post by Anat S. Our best leaders are those who have a strong set of principles and aren’t shy about saying so.

I wrote more about bright-kid syndrome and how model U.N. saved me from my hometown—and then how washing out on all that early promise saved me yet again. (With links to this week's podcast, too!)

#FusionVoting helped GOP go from a #ThirdParty to a major party. That’s right: a third party successfully displaced one of the two major parties, using Fusion Voting. Ask your elected STATE reps if they support bringing Fusion back in your state.

Fusion voting built the GOP in Ripon, WI—uniting Whigs, Free Soilers & anti-slavery activists. After the Civil War, it helped elect Black leaders in the South by uniting freed slaves, Republicans & poor White farmers. Only NY & CT kept it. @allbaughshow.bsky.social @civicmedia.us

Fusion is still banned in most states, it was done for exactly this sort of reason. @centerforballotfreedom.org is involved in some promising litigation to bring it back in several states arguing, correctly, it violates state con. equivalents of the First Amendment.

Can you turn on RSS feed feature? This allows people with RSS feed readers to receive posts without relying on email.
I believe you can choose to expose the full post, or a short summary plus thumbnail if you prefer people to come to the actual site to read the rest (important if you have ads)

Is there really a law that you have to be sworn in? Or are you already a member of Congress on your first day? She should just show up for work and start doing the job. Let them try to block her. Get another rep or a chaplain to read the oath or whatever

Proud resident of CA-17 here. Stay strong. Thanks for fighting for health care.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

If the bus is on fire and heading off of a cliff, do you vote to keep driving ahead?
Continuing Resolution is a cop-out where we avoid writing a real budget. It is supposed to preserve the status quo, but the Big Ugly Bill changed everything. The choice is to stop the bus, or real people will die.
