In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

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.

Billionaires wasted millions to prop up the flailing campaign of two-time loser Andrew Cuomo. It’s the result of a bunch of rich guys who are terminally online. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/f9z2ubC
America’s Dumbest Billionaires Fail to Stop Zohran Mamdani - The American Prospect
It’s encouraging on many levels: New York City didn’t submit to a campaign of flagrant bigotry from disgraced two-time loser Andrew Cuomo, and Americans, particularly young ones, can still be politically inspired by a good candidate with a good message.

I launched the American Mobilization Project because the fight can’t wait until 2028 or even 2026. AMP channels thousands of small contributions to anti-Trump mobilization all over the country.
1/ A few groups funded by AMP had big wins last night.

They want us to feel powerless, but we have real power.
AMP’s goal is to supercharge deep organizing and mobilize as many Americans as possible by investing in the state and local organizations already doing this work on the ground.

He said women And girls must be raped for the species to survive
He said school kids must be shot in order to have the right to own guns

One of the ways a democracy disappears: the legislative branch neuters itself and takes orders from the leader.
This week Senate Republicans will go "nuclear" to change the body's rules. The change? Stop having separate votes on nominees. Just do 50 at a time.
Not kidding.

Good morning.
Senate Republicans said they wouldn't change the rules of the Senate and as soon as Trump told them to change the rules they are changing the rules.
And not a small change! Obliterates advice and consent. Confirming Trump nominees 100 at a time! With one vote!

As a Jew, how do I distance myself from these monsters? Their living with terrorism is no excuse — I lived just blocks from the Twin Towers, saw the people jumping to avoid burning, and felt the ground shake as I watched the towers fall.

We cannot move into the future under the false impression that all that is necessary is to get rid of Donald Trump or even the GOP; while these are important and necessary steps, they are very small ones in a much larger process.

I feel like lately I recommend both of these books to someone at a rate of once a day.
Both THEY KNEW and HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT have long chapters on Epstein, including the Trump/Epstein rape case documents and in depth examination of his links to organized crime
I feel like I should read "They Knew" by @sarahkendzior.bsky.social again. I know there's at least one Epstein chapter in there and I haven't read it since it came out in Hardback.
