the flu vaccine rejection thing at this point in the society that exists today is on the same level to me as rejecting washing your hands for the sake of normal cleanliness. that's how dumb this is
I think what makes General Mark Milley's 2023 farewell speech so iconic & timeless isn't just that he says we don't take an oath to a dictator...
It's that he added "or a wannabe dictator" to show that we should have no allegiance to sloppy, Reality-TV fascists like Trump.
Virginia! Today is the last day to vote in the redistricting referendum.

Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.
We can have nice things.

"Our societal decadence has brought on the death of personal responsibility, the end of belief in any higher cause, the death of republican virtue altogether, we don't take anything seriously, we can only fix this by fixation on a clearly defined morality" is a lib position now (laudatory)
Acknowledging the stark, ugly truth that the Republicans basically had no good reason to do what they have done for the last 11 years and have lapsed into vast collective psychosis over totally immaterial and utterly depraved delusions is terrifying, and as such most commentators simply do not do it
Most of the pundit cottage industry is based around obfuscating a very simple truth out of psychological self-protection, that one of America’s two major parties came to be the Demented Psycho Evil-Ass Rape Party from affirmative choices their voters made of their own free will because they liked it
Trump’s Fed Chair nominee grades Trump‘s economy an A, despite soaring gas prices, rising inflation, and plummeting GDP.
Just another Trump ass kisser who is untethered to reality.
This is monstrous. Just profoundly shameful behavior by our government.

Seizing old ballots on flimsy warrants is a way to do performative pandering to the crazies (incl. Trump). There are little to no legal protections for old ballots, which are usually destroyed fairly soon anyway. Finding a rubber-stamp judge is easy. It's very unlike the situation w/ live ballots.
RFK Jr. is a guy who was meant to commit a series of themed animal crimes in Gotham City with the ultimate goal to “eat the Bat” before being subdued and returned to Arkham.
Today, VA Dems are showing the party how to fight back.
VA voter: Trump has explicitly stated to state legislators, 'find me more seats.' As Democrats, we can't come to a boxing match where the other person brings a knife.
Her platform already being palatable to someone as far right as Liz Cheney is not making the point you think it's making.
I don't believe you. You can afford a $40 Uber, but $41 is just too much?
Exactly. Happy children grow up around uncles and great uncles who think they are the funniest, smartest creatures ever. As I enter my grandpa-aged era, I cannot tell you the joy I get watching and interacting with babies and toddlers. It's one the main reasons I go to church or family parties.
impossible to overstate how poisonous this shit is. dudes on the street smiling and waving at your toddler are an indicator of a happy and functional community
Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."

Stupid goo goo nonsense. The only way to get fair districting is to pinch republicans in the mouth enough until they agree to fairness. Doing this with Callais days away from ripping up the VRA is so stupid I don’t know where to begin.
"If you give the bully your lunch money they'll eventually stop taking it"
"I was mildly offended by a professor at some conference, so I decided to help the neo-Nazis destroy our education system" is a much too common backstory.
American combat deaths in World War I: 54,000.
American soldiers killed by flu in World War I: 45,000.
They would have given anything for a flu vaccine.

I don’t want a guy like this as the head of the Federal Reserve. I want Mrs. Pella, my high school accounting teacher. She would be incredible.
