I understand the desire to change the names of the Indians, Braves, and Chiefs. Makes sense and I generally agree, but there is nuance to the arguments.
The Washington Racial Slurs on the other hand is just fucking insane.

Interest 2: This SCOTUS is anti-redress for ordinary people as a rule, and a large fan of theoretical but unenforceable rights (which then can be violated without redress).
Interest 3: The maintenance of a judicial system that serves the fundamental needs of major businesses.

Zero thought as to why secret police in authoritarian regimes wear masks.
It’s because of “doxing.” It’s because secret police want to avoid social consequences for their actions.
That’s the reason! It’s literally the same thing as what they’re comparing it to!

Literallly the only mention of his policies is “He also still faces a potentially difficult general election campaign, where his progressive policy proposals will be scrutinized and various business interests are likely to campaign against him.”

Giving myself the day to be excited about the possibility of a new chapter in American politics.
Tomorrow I remind myself that the last time a Democratic socialist won the Dem primary in a major New York City, the entire democratic establishment coalesced to defeat her in the general election.

The nightmare scenario is not Trump declaring martial law.
The nightmare scenario is trump realizing he logistically and politically can’t enforce martial law nationwide, bitching about it to his base, and calling on every fascist thug with a gun to “take back our cities.”

It really does feel like we’re on the cusp of something truly awful. Someone’s going to do something stupid and it’s going to snowball. Which really seems to be the goal at this point.

All politics is local. Local policy is really easy to grasp because we see it day to day. When the people who helped you build a sidewalk tell you something, you have a reason to trust them. Get people invested in their local leadership and the rest is easy.

Bottoms punched above her weight class one time. She then backed the winning horse in 2020 so got some VP love. She’s a lucky one term mayor convinced that she’s a political genius.

The tragedy of the Democratic Party is that even our “strongholds” consistently fail at clearly better governance. Blue states have a lot of positives, but housing is still unaffordable, transit is still a joke, and the cost of living is still high. Hard sell to your average voter.

I’m excited to announce I’m running for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia.
We need Democrats who fight. That means showing up, saying hard truths out loud, and refusing to comply in advance.

Fuuckk. Just realized what an wide open GOP primary for Senate is gonna do to Georgia. Prepare for a year of terrible ads y’all. Not just the general bigotry either. People are gonna try to stand out so it’s gonna get real weird down here.
