All of this shows these ICE thugs for exactly what they are. I know it feels so awful right now to keep seeing them terrorize people, but they have already lost. I don't know how many of them know it. But they have, no matter how many people they kidnap or kill. They have already lost.
A crowd of hundreds gathered at a St. Cloud strip mall parking lot to observe more than two dozen ICE officers near some Somali-owned businesses.

Christmastime Delilah After Dark is so funny:
“Can you play a song for my best friend Amanda? I’ve been secretly in love w/her since the 4th grade & she just got diagnosed w/cancer & I want her to know I’m there for her”
“Absolutely, I’ve got the perfect song”
(Plays jingle bells)

one of the ways in which the madisonian logic of the american system doesn't seem to be working is that ambition *isn't* countering ambition. there are all these lawmakers who just, don't give a shit, even when giving a shit could propel them to political fame and success
seriously, I understand it would be a huge gamble but the right play from some dissident republican senator has a decent shot of making that person president
i’m honestly just more amazed at how nobody on the right has had any issue with it at all. not one voice.

Amid the ongoing political chaos it is important not to lose focus on what the root cause of all of this is: Some people have too much money.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Not the most pressing issue but I do feel sad at the way the internet has caused an intellectual decline among writers. You can often see, in a book or article, the outlines of the better argument or better writing that would have been produced if the author had the cognitive capacity for it.

i gave a talk last night and one of the points i made is that in addition to articulating a real defense of the Constitution, the opposition to Trump needs an actual constitutional vision that it can connect to a set of material policies.

Something that's been clear to me for some time is that a lot of progressive advocacy and politics has overindexed on finding just the right combination of words to say while ignoring the fact that no media ecosystem exists where people might actually hear you say them. New from @mmfa.bsky.social

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
