would pay so much for my old livejournal or xanga profile pic — in fact, i’ll run for office just for someone to uncover it because i’m far too lazy to find it myself

if i had the time, i’d enjoy looking up all these morally bankrupt assholes’ tweets protesting firings or cancelling relating to racist comments made about George Floyd — but who has the time these days
it’s very funny to make a distinction between cancel culture and what this is, which is clear government supression of speech. cancel culture isn’t anti first amendment, but this specifically is! which is worse!

and this is why I want to go back to being unregistered with the Democratic Party — not that it matters. but on a weekly basis, i’m reminded how weak and feeble the Democratic Party is. monumental change is necessary for any future legitimate opposition.
This is why the Bove seat was vacant, and there’s a real throughline from the forces that defeated the previous Democratic nominee to where we are today.

imagine fearing the loss of power over your own failing political party that you’re trying to — *checks notes* — defy democracy by sabotaging the candidate for whom an overwhelming majority of your own political party voted. couldn’t be me.
Everyone hates us, we have nothing to offer, and our presence only makes it more obvious. Nevertheless we must press ahead.
TBH this could be a problem for them

Liberals who wonder why the right isn’t concerned about the suffering of migrants, and in the next breath “oh well” drowning children whose parents might have voted red are operating with a cognitive dissonance so intense I’m almost envious.

It must feel like a drug, that ignorant self-assurance.

the current mess arose from the evisceration of humanity as the core of society and the government empowered to serve society. i refuse to give up my own humanity for any political self-serving purpose. i will continue to hope anyone suffering anywhere will find help and live a better life.

idk, seems like a good system that hardly needs any improvement. 10/10. no notes
Washington, D.C., has a population roughly equivalent to Alaska's.

And it has zero senators. If D.C. had senators, the GOP megablil bill would have failed today.

Instead, Murkowski got carve-outs and money for Alaska, and then voted to subject DC to the bill

medicaid for me, not thee
The subtext here seems to be that Murkowski said to get her that medicaid boost for Alaska or she's out.
Republicans are about to decimate Medicaid across the country and their top two Senate leaders are trying to get their states exempted from the cuts at the 11th hour.

and in about two years, his electorate will clamor for him to violate the Constitution (again) and remain President — it’s incredible in the worst way possible.
this is the president of the united states repeating unhinged racist propaganda ginned up by the worst white supremacist ideologues on earth
with the South African president sitting next to him, Trump suggests there is a white genocide happening in his country and says, "I hope you can have an explanation of that"

yapping to my wife after she returns from a run: what do you mean i need to work out? i’m a 36-year-old guy with a terrible right rotator cuff who carries our 26-lb 1-year-old up and down 3 flights of stairs 20+ times a day — i am working out.

the damage inflicted in four months has far surpassed the four-year shitshow that was the first Trump regime — and this damage is irreparable. there’s no other way to describe it. given the evisceration of the Justice Department as a check on the Presidency, once the judiciary recedes, it’s over.
“One of the top MS-13 members”?

This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States.

She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility.

Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.
Bondi is escalating the rhetoric against Abrego Garcia, who she calls "one of the top MS-13 members" and "a terrorist"

another laughable and cowardly use of “Per Curiam” to cover up an outrageous opinion imposing zero consequences on the Trump Administration for engaging in blatantly unlawful conduct — conduct that even the Majority of this shitty opinion acknowledges is unlawful
NEW: By a 5–4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS Judge Boasberg's restraining order against the deportation of migrants under the Alien Enemies Act. The majority holds that migrants must file habeas petitions where they're confined.

one slight tweak — this is the thought that develops after kicking back a few four lokos and watching “Loose Change” again on a cheap Dell laptop in whatever university campus building is open at 3 AM
anyone around during the OG four loko craze will recognize this kind of 3am thought

The dead possum approach of Chuck Schumer or the raging filibuster of Cory Booker.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows.

As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.
Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

throw the Dem Party leadership in the trash and start over — that’s how the party moves forward
"Walz says now he should have been doing events all through last fall. He says he offered, but was told no, and in his bewildered daze, he decided to be a team player."

Need to seriously start asking if these dem consultants are actively on the take, no other way to explain such uselessness
NEW - Tim Walz to me, backstage to in Eau Claire on Tuesday:

“It’s going to get very dark,” he said, running through speculation that ranged from Trump soon ordering the arrest of a political opponent to trying to anoint a son as his successor.
