Oh no, the fascists might call us names. We must therefor continue being nice quiet centrists who don't win a fucking thing. 🙄 bsky.app/profile/theb...

The vibes may be exciting, but if Democrats are going to win this year and in 2028, they must reject the DSA. If you’re tempted by a democratic socialist this year, think of what use Republicans will make of these victories, and ask whether you want to do favors for fascists.

Has anyone questioned Chuck Grassley? He’s third in the line of succession and he was the only one not a the WHCD. Your chances of being taken out by a 92 year old Senator from Iowa are low, but never zero.

I absolutely hate that this administration has turned me into a conspiracy theorist. The sheer avalanche of bullshit and self-dealing has, for me, eliminated any benefit of the doubt.

So Vance goes to the Vatican and the Pope dies. He goes to Hungary and Orban loses. He goes to Pakistan and gets played. I’m sensing a pattern.

He is the worst of us, in every way possible. When this is over - and it will end - please continue to fly your stupid flags and wear your stupid red hats so that we may avoid you. There is no moral ambiguity at play here, no rationalizations, no whataboutisms, no false equivalency.

It’s pretty fucking simple. If the guys on the boats are enemy combatants, a second strike is illegal. If they aren’t enemy combatants, all strikes are murder. The commander of SOUTHCOM, who resigned less than a year into his three year term, must be called to testify.

That’s it, I’m out. Watching the party try and rationalize this and tell me their complete capitulation is a “win” is the final straw. Changing my registration to Independent and joining the Democratic Socialists.

Trump: "There are no boats in the water anymore. You don't even find a fishing boat, you don't even find cruise liners anymore. There's nothing in the water near Venezuela. It's actually strange." Uh, no

The party of “Second Amendment remedies”, the party that called J6 rioters heroes and gave them a Presidential pardon, the party that has exploited racial hatred and political division, can go fuck themselves. I won’t shed a tear for a man killed by the very hatred he stoked.
