“Although Altman is not a murderer, and even though his haircut is (barely) better than the one they saddled Bardem with in No Country for Old Men, I would be lying to you if I said I didn’t recognize profound similarities between the two men’s respective “keys to history””
I am going to start using the phrase a “a terrifying day for western civilization” it is just so fucking funny lmaoooo
Bishop Barron clarifies that the Church has no right to condemn specific wars and has to defer to Trump, he's just fully sold out
this is a good example of what I mean when I talk about some democratic politicians making unions magical wish fulfillment entities rather than simply another political stakeholder that can be a force for good but also is at risk of being captured by reactionary forces
the fetishization of unions on here as magical wish fulfillment entities is wild.
the solution for workers suffering from poor public transit service is not “join a union” it’s “provide better public transit service”
If El-Sayad wants to just campaign with Hasan, McMorrow should just hit El-Sayad on Hasan’s misogyny.
I think McMorrow still wins because I really don’t think El-Sayad has many voters outside of Ann Arbor and Detroit
I am telling you if Abdul El-Sayed and Graham Platner win their primaries the Democrats are definitely not going to regain the Senate.
This isn’t remotely true.
This is what we call The Art of the Deal
Rhinestone Cowboy is very good but I don’t know if it can top Wichita Lineman and Galveston.
Wichita Lineman and Galveston are bangers.

The Ayatollahs are the Master of the Strait.
Only the Costa Concordia stands before them.
Cruise Ships are now battlefields
I feel like if El-Sayad and Platner win their primaries, the Democrats are definitely not going to win back the Senate.
Zohran would never say this, he kept his cutie patootie positive energy intact and it was radiant
Abdul just can't keep the snark and snipes away. admitting he hates fun especially when it's volunteer driven. Let the SUPPORTERS have fun!
The "I'm perpetually irritated and gonna be a d**k" energy
I'm really tired. These aren't nuanced takes. But exhaustion is everywhere and somehow the fucking fascists keep winning and it's hard.
I'm sure as shit tired of the cowardice too but America never rewards bravery or ideas or boldness or big moves unless its fascist stupidity. It's. Really really hard to blame even the fucking Democratic senatora we want to be better given the last, I dunno, 40 years?
No offense to Mamdani or the internet or my friends or me on days when I'm not struggling, but maybe Democrats got burned out on trying to run on policy solutions and sometimes even succeeding and America turning around and electing the crassest, grossest, shittiest arsonists and cheering the flame.
Real dilemma between “do the right thing to help people” and “those people will then vote 80-20 to destroy the version of America you want”
It’s extremely unfortunate but the abiding lesson of the Trump era is that doing federal legislation that heavily benefits red state rural areas doesn’t get you any votes and benefits the rural red state reps who will take all the credit for the projects they voted against
Remember when Hend Amry said this was an inside job done by the Israelis?
Molly will be back by Monday.
"I have faced online harassment, which probably has nothing to do with my behavior. I demand that you fight me in the McDonald's parking lot."
I think you can advocate for Palestine without defending Hamas murdering civilians and in that one lady's case being paraded through Gaza like a war trophy.
I just don’t know why Liberals and the Democrats don’t take these people seriously…a real mystery.
“she dressed like a slut so she deserved it”
"she was dressed like a slut" but woke. I think Israels genocide in Gaza needs to be stopped but I don't think defending October 7th helps your case.
I'd honestly be pretty thrilled if women started flexing a bit more of their power in the Democratic Party.
They might not be a huge amount of the leadership, but they're the majority of the party.
