and furthermore ICE delenda est.

All speeches delivered at this convention fall purely within the bounds of liberal democratic practices. Any resemblance to Catholic or Protestant preaching and pamphlet literature during the French Wars of Religion is purely coincidental.

Shut the fuck up you racist asshole. I’ll have something useful and perceptive to say later but HONESTLY

Mustard only but the toppings are less important than the dog itself which must be a spiral cut Saugy

“Why do WE have to get rid of our rapists but the Republicans don’t?” Setting aside all moral implications, it’s because around 70% (if not more) of Democratic volunteers are women and if they get totally disgusted with the party nobody is winning any elections anymore.

Anti-establishment young turk consultants scrolling through Instagram reels to find the next working class hero vs Israel's biggest fan in the senate clearing the field for a 78 year old who doesn't want to actually campaign. No solution in sight, but neither is a great way to run a party.

guy who uses the phrase “party apparatchiks” in his withdrawal video: I’m just a dumb ignorant guy and had never heard of a totenkopf

This campaign has been the apex of White Dude Dilettante-ism. Platner isn’t a lifelong policy wonk or dedicated organizer. He’s had multiple careers, most recently he’s decided to give being a US Senator a try and the state of Maine sold the entire rest of the country out to give him a shot at it.

This is why I roll my eyes at people questioning the timing of Monday's story with Jenny Racicot. IT WAS ALREADY OUT THERE. And the GOP are still sitting on a ton of other stuff they intended to drop as soon as the July 13th deadline to replace him passes.

The theory that “electable” means “work to appease right-wing bigots under the assumption that majorities agree with them, at least partially, and they prioritize it when voting” has been tried. It has failed. Try something else.

We live in an era when evil is not afraid to show its face.

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

U.S.–Iran draft deal includes a $300 billion investment fund for Iran. Tehran wanted reparations for war damage. Washington rebranded it as an international investment vehicle. Witkoff and Kushner floated the idea, pitching Tehran real estate and a broader fund as deal sweeteners.-NYT

"It's the same agreement that was nearly agreed to last time and the seventeen times before that." "Exactly! And that is precisely what the Ayatollahs are expecting us to nearly agree to! We shall catch them completely off guard! Baaaaaah!"

I took a lot of grief last week when I pointed out that it was very likely that that antisemitic candidate from Texas was being propped up by Republicans to attack the Dem party. Turns out I was correct. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy popular.info/p/a-gop-dirt...

Faulkner: "Sanctuary cities include Boston, Chicago, Denver, LA, NY, Philadelphia, SF. All of those airports handle 1,100 int'l flights per day. They're not just gonna not fly. They're gonna go to red states and cities. A boon for red states. People will just really hate living in blue states."

I am very very serious when I say that this is the most exciting book I have found at the thrift in months. This is like Game of Thrones for me

Who could possibly have seen this coming 🙄

elon musk had his brain melted by right wing twitter slop and illegally shut it down. six figure body count plus a new strain of ebola is ravaging africa as we speak. the discourse is about whether they hired enough conservatives to justify not torpedoing the agency. illegally, i might add

The Arlington National Cemetery Memorial apparently has deleted references and information on everyone interred there who wasn’t a white straight man from their database - attempting to sweep their existence under the rug. My thoughts on this obscenity cannot legally be shared on this platform.

Well fuck

Come join the team in India Point Park tomorrow for a campaign picnic. You can meet other volunteers and supporters, play yard games, swap clothes, and hear live music!

Yet another thing I’d do if I was a billionaire and not absolutely tragic: I’d buy out the ad time for games I want to watch and just play like old abbot and Costello clips or slideshows of weird art or Depeche Mode music videos

And it wouldn't even lead to lower prices at the pump! Here's the legendary @pkrugman.bsky.social writing in 2000.

“Don’t suck on the steak” is not a sentence I should have to say

THERE WAS A VOTE????

Tonight’s doodle

The Russian MO, as laid out in "Foundations of Geopolitics" is to destabilize internal politics in the US by supporting every racist, extremist, and sectarian group while encouraging ethnic, social, and racial conflicts which coincidentally is what every talking head getting Russian money does

Things suck. But, the second civil rights movement is going to be fought with a much larger porportion of the population in support of it, and with a citizenry that thinks nostalgically about the relative prosperity and strength of the United States during its era as a multicultural democracy.

My biggest conspiracy theory is that telling working class people that engagement in the arts is a middle / upper class thing and to do so makes you a class traitor is a psyop to make them disengaged with themselves and the world and the beauty of being human, so that they accept worse treatment.

Interesting vibe out protesting on street corners in Rhode Island today. Lots of support, the usual proportion of middle fingers but an odd overlay of teens yelling very very aggressively antisemitic stuff and a guy doing a full Nazi salute in his truck. The bigots are feeling powerful today.

A new and vastly stronger voting rights act. Abolish at will employment. Parental leave entitlements for all newborn American citizens. Medicare for all within 10 years. A federal law guaranteeing abortion access nationwide. (An incomplete list of what I’m thinking about today)

If russia stops fighting, there will be no war. If Ukraine stops fighting, there will be no Ukraine. The fact that this still needs repeating says everything.

hawks will be like "you really believe in negotiating a joint comprehensive plan of action with Iran? that pales in comparison to my strategy, winning a war of regime change" and then not win a war of regime change

The mystery of the screaming toilet is hopefully solved. No it’s not a euphemism.

these focus groups are just further anecdotal evidence for my view that trump is is understood as a totem for wealth and prosperity. these people are genuinely bewildered that he isn’t, and might in fact be a human being with ulterior motives

It’s interesting what some people consider social problems that we must solve collectively (men being sad) and ones we consider not worth solving at all (anyone else’s problems) bsky.app/profile/volt...

Just crazy that the *actual* king of England is explaining the limits on the executive branch under Anglo-American constitutional law — to the U.S. Congress.
