Idiot cranks. It’s over foreign policy shit too.
NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.

A bottom up, local-based non hierarchical small-democratic organization unless a majority of an obscure 25 person national board doesn't like it and throws the decision out

Homepage of the @miamiherald.com with story by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social that mentions rape in the first paragraph. See, it's not so fucking hard. www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

The NYT story does not even include the word rape. Not once.

The only reason I can think of for this news not being absolutely everywhere is that large media orgs don’t want to be seen as putting their thumbs on the scales a week before election day. And that’s cowardly as shit.
Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States. "In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct." Report w/ new details: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

I've kinda been saying for a couple weeks now that, for all the talk of 2006 being the benchmark for Dem performance here, the actual comparison point might end up being 2010.
On a recent podcast, Jessica Taylor of Cook Political Report said that the combination of public and private polling she's seen, plus what she's hearing on the ground from Republican and Democratic, says a 2010-esque night (but for Republicans this time) is increasingly likely. Be still my heart.

Jews and gays stand and fall together because the original Nazism was a hysterical overreaction to the emancipation of both
God, that Cenk Uygur ad for Abdul El-Sayed about how his opponent is for “they/them” (meaning Israel) (sorry I mean (((Israel))) ) is so gross in so many ways, both scarily antisemitic and transphobic, and I’m judging everyone involved

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.
RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

this is why I now want Trump to survive past his term. I WANT HIM TO SEE EVERYTHING HE BUILT BE DESTROYED WHILE EVERYONE CHEERS. I want the pedo rapist to know his legacy is one of incompetence and failure. That he'll be remembered for being one of the worst presidents ever that most people hated

Elections, trends, and underfunded state parties can lead to party instability and loss of political power projection for well over a decade. Look no further than Wisconsin and Missouri which could well have political strength on the state level they havent had since the pre-Obama era
Another brand new edition of the State Legislative Election Watch is out now covering November's elections in Colorado, Missouri, & Wisconsin! Can the Democrats break/form supermajorities and flip the Wisconsin legislature at the same time? Find out below! uncrewed.substack.com/p/state-legi...

Color revolution theory is great because it isn’t actually meant to give you a strategy as much as an alibi for why you got your ass kicked These guys destroyed the NED/USAID/CIA deep state they feared and are still getting their asses beat, so dammit do they need to rationalize and shift blame
