Trust me: whatever you’re doing right now is less important than watching this candidate interview. No spoilers, just trust:

Any Democrat who understands that our souls cry out for ruthless justice and retribution feeds a deep yearning in me.

They started on illegal immigrants, expanded it to legal immigrants, now are going after naturalized citizens. If you are not one of those groups, you are just somewhere further down the chain, but they will get to eliminating your rights eventually too.

We're seeing MAGA and Trumpism fall not because people are suddenly in love with the Democratic Agenda or because they've seen the light on immigration. It's because they view Trump and MAGA as overly distracted by culture war and Actual War to handle their pocketbook concerns. Cautionary tale.

No sane Dem agrees with him, he is a loser looking for relevance. To pretend that he's some kind of majority opinion, is frankly done in bad faith. He's an idiot and should be treated as such, no one should or will listen to him. Also, real brave turning off the comments there with your hot take.

It is truly despairing that the Democrats are so eager to start from a position of compromise and then retreat from there. This place talks about Nuremberg 2.0 and abolishing ICE (which need to happen, to be clear) but in my heart of hearts I don’t know if we’ll even get failed impeachment 2.

Congratulations to Mellody & George on the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art! 18 years in the making, it is 5-stories high, filled with some of the greatest artwork, props & memorabilia you'll ever see. An instant Los Angeles LANDMARK Thanks (again), George!!!

Hot take: the most offensive part about Trump offering five grand to adults [if the Republicans win in November] is how cheap he thinks souls can be bought for. Surely you’ll ignore everything going on and put the Republicans back in power for less than the down payment on a new F150.

Turns out Trump's mystery meat is coming from a Brazilian agri-oligarch who's friend of Melania, and it includes scraps & chunks of meat that have been frozen for years before being ground up & mixed with American meat. Bon appétit! www.ms.now/all-in/watch...

lol I just realized Trump is treating the voters like his construction crews on a building project. Tell them to do a job and then stiff them on the promised compensation.

The entire online lefts treatment of Dems begins to make more sense when you consider a lot of them are disgruntled Bernie bros who still haven't gotten over the fact that Bernie in 2020 lost to the geriatric establishment candidate

both Jon Ossoff and Chris Van Hollen have been opposed by AIPAC and backed by the much less awful J Street, but Ossoff is Jewish while Van Hollen isn’t so guess who gets the Evil Red Monochrome background

Sam@samd.bsky.social

this post really pisses me off for a few reasons: 1. People like Zenkus who treat the anti-fascist coalition as a murder-suicide pact are generally narcissistic idiots 2. Ossoff has voted against arms transfers to Israel and his donations are from J Street, which is very different from AIPAC

this is an established pattern from Track AIPAC, anybody who's elevating them at this point is extremely suspect (from my article in @liberalcurrents.com)

He endured personal tragedies & came out of retirement to dig the country out of a pandemic. The thanks he got was being ridden out of town on a rail by jaded reporters who were bored with his competence. I'll never forgive the press for what they did to this good man.

The Platner dead-enders are real, they are pathetic and deserve mockery.

Why I so dislike liberals: rule bound, censorious, gleefully repressive, unforgiving, elitist, Puritans. I’d vote for Platner before I’d align myself with that.

So Dan Moraff and Morris Katz, two slick political consultants who thought they knew everything, saw a video of a gruff-sounding oysterman, and decided, without further evidence, to lure him into politics by telling him he was a “hero of the movement” who was going to “lead the revolution.” Insane

I think the one thing people have to get comfortable with is, being blunt, after 2016 & 2024 to a certain degree, Alito's seat doesn't matter. Court expansion is literally the only solution. I get people don't like Trump potentially replacing Alito but being blunt, it's the battle, not the war.

Ossoff: I don’t think many people are tuning in because he’s lost it. But more importantly, what we’re seeing is how destabilized he is by his global humiliation in the Middle East, which he cannot deny or lie away. He has cemented his place in history in disgrace.

Particularly Jeffries. People opposing him are really demonstrating they don’t follow politics at all and just repeat memes.

I Nied braaaaiiiiins 🧟@nied.bsky.social

It's telling that 90% of the examples of "not fighting" are from over a year ago when the caucus was still disorganized & reeling from Trump's surprise victory. Since then both Jeffries & Schumer have been very effective legislative maneuvering & maximizing pain for Republicans.
