Solidarity is everything. Everybody in, nobody out. The litmus test for our strategy must be, “Is this coalition-building?” If it’s not, keep strategizing till you get there.

In ranking the following decorations adorning homes in Brooklyn, I am weighing the complimentary attributes of whimsy and horror, to derive how much (or indeed, if at all!) the decorators grasp their own mortality. hellgatenyc.com/brooklyn-hal...

I love the original Pulp version of Common People. But man, Shatner's cover has something very special going on.

Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.

“Is it my week?” my Sensible Fall Jacket will ask. “Has it finally come?” “It has, old friend,” I’ll say. “What would you like to do with your one wild and precious week of Actual Fall?” buff.ly/hotsd0n

💯 he’s a mass murderer, it’s incredible we don’t see more articles attempting to total up the amount of blood on his hands

Let us be clear: Brooklyn needs a fair vote by the elected District Leaders. The Chair attempting to pick her own successor after she lost an election isn’t democracy, it's cronyism, and the illegal rules changes she has fought to enact would permanently end democratic oversight of our party.

because the ny times wants to kneecap AOC the way they did hillary clinton. they don't do this for any other politician but her. and we must pound them into the dust for this.

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

ska priest, somberly: pick it up pick it up (ska pall bearers hoist up coffin)

Protect trans kids.

If I may get on my soap box: No Kings is a tactic. It is not the strategy and no one involved in putting it on considers it sufficient on its own. It's a mass show of defiance that's also served as an onramp to the kind of local organizing work that's necessary to shift power

RIP Dolly Parton ❤️ Here's a lovely Dolly story: We worked together on "Transamerica." She told me that the bible passage that used to puzzle her the most was, "the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men." She said, "How the heck do you sin against the Holy Ghost, and-

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

So, what I'm hearing in all this is that Trump let unknowing staffers and journalists stay on a plane that he knew was under credible threat of being attacked.

There is no shame in a love this pure.

All hat and no cattle.

In the realm of questions posed during Senate hearings, this one from Ossoff -- "Isn't it humiliating to be unable to answer this?" -- ranks right up there with "Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last?"

i swear, i must be the only loser in nyc who lets people exit the train before elbowing my way in

it really is the key that unlocks the entire Christian ethic

the food safety stuff is another reminder that a large, huge, gigantic part of being a republican is going “lmao why are we spending money to prevent horrifying disasters from happening if they never happen 🤪”

farewell to a bold man who once said “What I think [Trump’s] doing is being a demagogue. As a party, we should reject what he says because it's not true. And if we don't reject it we've lost the moral authority, in my view, to govern this country." 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻

Evergreen post: He could be impeached tonight and convicted at trial in a few weeks and removed from office immediately thereafter if about 20 people in DC decided to put country over party for the first time in their miserable, self-dealing lives

"please please please don't overuse that clip of John Oliver mocking a southern accent" Me:

It's important for us all to acknowledge these white supremacists aren't marching with masks and sunglasses in our Nation's Capital out of personal safety. They're masked because they're cowards. They lack conviction. They're gutless. They're timid. They're soft.

Yes. This is a lot more significant as an explanation for what's gone wrong than liberal elites allegedly adopting the language of the progressive activist class and going too far in defending trans people

it’s time for a third reconstruction!!!

Ossoff: "Citizens United was the most destructive court decision in modern history. It's unleashed a flood of secret money, corporate money, billionaire money. Trump's rise is a symptom of this deeper disease. Our task is not just to contain his wickedness, but to cure the rot that gave rise to it."

is it just me, or has autocorrect gotten pushier and also wronger?

There we go!

vote Republican! we’re gonna piss all over you!
