In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

Just saw a picture of stuffed animals in the woman's car and man...I really am struggling to find the words right now. This is all just so unspeakably devastating, and I don't know how we come back from it.

From another perspective, a book we surely all read (1984, Orwell): “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

A lot of people are mad at Schumer for saying this. But he's right. Democrats don't control a single branch of government and they can't pass anything. Only Republicans can rein in Trump because they control both chambers of Congress. Democrats have no cards to play here.
Schumer: "Republicans must -- if there was ever a time, they must step up to the plate. This is the time. And if they don't, they're gonna feel the heat from their constituents."

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Progressive reformers tend to be very good at political organizing and groundswell. But their disdain (often warranted) of patronage-style politics often makes it difficult for them to be connected to the larger communities they need to serve.

Zohran Mamdani Must Not Give Good Intentions a Bad Name
John Lindsay expanded welfare, civil rights, and public spending—yet left New Yorkers politically disarmed. Zohran Mamdani should learn the lessons of his mayoralty.

DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.

I still think Newsom likely is the nominee and bsky is just gonna have to cope
Double Prediction:
Gavin Newsom will be the first Democratic presidential candidate to announce his campaign and it will be in January of 2027. He will immediately shoot up to the top of the polls. He also likely wins Nevada.
