These words are forever etched in my mind and have guided my actions and beliefs for a very long time. Do not lose hope. Stay optimistic. We can do better and we shall do better. For a world where each and every one of us can live in equality, justice, and dignity.

"A farmer doesn't like a handout" I beg your fucking finest pardon?

Is this supposed to be a hit piece?

In fact I will say the Earnest and Pious Charismatic Ethnic Minority political figure (AOC, Mamdani, El-Sayed) has been a pretty good bet for the American left so far, whereas the Disaffected Gruff White Guy Showcasing True Masculinity (Fetterman, Platner) has been a worse bet. Just an observation.

The rationale is that trans people must disappear from all spaces, and from life. That’s their end game.

Jesus fucking christ

i don't think anyone should run explicitly on banning online gambling but i do think that a democratic-led government should just quietly take steps to undermine the industry and create an inhospitable regulatory environment

Okay gang, let’s do this. It’s time for bluesky to put on the best talent show this town has ever seen and save the non-firebombed covid-conscious lesbian bar.

one handy thing the CCP and Putin have demonstrated is you can just ban these companies from operating in your country. replacements will sprout up extremely fast

Earnest take: I think it's probably not healthy for the practice of democratic self-government that so many people have developed strong rooting interests in the opinions of Matthew Yglesias

Let's check in on Fujimori:

Yissss

Like, if said gerontocracy is, say, Ed Markey, and the alternative is Seth fucking Moulton, I'm siding with the gerontocracy. Similarly with Lula. He could be a walking corpse and I'd let him steal my wallet.

"I will not burn down Amazon" "I will forcefem my chud supporters" which message will resonate with voters?

HOLY FUCK

Okay, I’m going to sleep now. When I wake up it’d better be President Lula again

Lula might really fucking do it. holy shit.

I'm not as convinced as some others that Marine Le Pen will be France's next president. But in the event she does win, she'll still have to govern in co-habitation with a hostile parliament. And I suspect dissolution and new elections would be even worse for her than leaving this one in place.

The USA’s failure to punish Trump for Jan 6th was just an historic betrayal of global democracy. What a shameful, abject and total failure of institutions and civil society.

I think he needs to go end of godfather, literally speaking.

if he wins he can steal my wallet. i don't care

VAFFANCULO!!!!!!

I think Sarah McBride's presence in the caucus has been extremely important in preventing Labourization because most of these people are kind of dumb and she can explain what's going on in small words.

Brazil going the way of South Korea. Basically around the world women are desperately trying to keep power out of the hands of incredibly stupid fascistic grifters while men keep trying to hand it over. Men are an embarrassing cringe gender.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

best hope for getting back on track (gradual generational accretion of political progress). 2024 made it look like this had reversed, but I think Gen Z’s flirtation with the right may be seen as a post-Covid fluke

what sorcery did pedro sanchez conjure up, and could he do that again?

Sure, AFTER judicial review did its job (when the court still functioned) Democrats were happy to take credit for it, but the fact remains that they didn't do jack. They capitalized on gains the Judiciary delivered after decades of hard fucking work from boots on the ground activists.

This is the third person today to suggest that my equality as a human and an American citizen was a gift bestowed upon me by Democrats as opposed to an unaliable condition inherent to all people.

“This piece of legislation is politically motivated” is the epitome of the dishonest, thought-terminating anti-politics that’s infected absolutely everything

I met with Finer, Sullivan, and a bunch of Biden's senior people several times throughout 2023-2024 and I cannot stress enough how maddening it is to watch them reposition now after spending the time they were actually in power gaslighting the shit out of everyone

it does give me some level of satisfaction that he’s going to die mad about not getting a nobel peace prize because obama got one and he didn’t
