Laying the marker down now — there will never come a time when people with significant economic interests in Silicon Valley will say “AGI/ASI have been achieved, it’s time to tax tech companies and billionaires to fund UBI.”
sure they’re tear-gassing toddlers but what do the polls say
The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
Bovino may be out of MN but the buck doesn't stop with him. Noem and Miller need to go.
Politicians gotta start calling for Miller to go. Right now.
The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:
- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE
Senate Democrats absolutely have to shut the govt down to stop this ICE insanity in the Twin Cities. This is not sustainable & cannot be normalized. Any Democratic vote to provide money to the thugs who are brutalizing this community is a grave betrayal to the people here. Accountability can't wait.
Her name was Renee Good
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.
the idea the dems have to hold onto the "moral highground" by not counter gerrymandering is so dumb. nobody gives a fuck about the moral high ground. the president is literally rapist
Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.
all of the Supreme Court’s jurisprudence about executive power - all of it - can be replaced with a simple flow chart. is the president a Republican? if so it’s ok. if not, it’s presumptively not ok.
Vote Blue no matter who- AMIRITE?!
What matters is that Cuomo and all the people who endorsed him are still going to claim they're the rightful heirs to the Democratic Party, how dare young people challenge them, all of that.
The difference is they're now just unaffiliated lunatics, banging on the windows. They're not the party.
Los Angeles specifically is the realest America, imo.
Yeah. I've written my book take and am done w the Biden subject, but one question is whether the norms around elderly, ailing politicians can/should survive this.
You feel bad when a colleague is ailing and you want him to bounce back. But you are not in the feelings business. You are governing.
What the actual fuck USC. I am an Alumni and forget asking me for my dollars here on out
I'm one of her constituents and was just in a town hall of hers yesterday. If i knew she was going to say crap like this i would explicitly called her out on this
Jesus you're a doctor. why are you giving crediting that hack with anything.
yeah i'd back this
Democrats who vote no on cloture while not making a peep about the Senate leadership who are voting yes are COMPLICIT. They are playing you. They are in on it.
I argued that the party was worth saving and yet the leader of the Senate approves of supporting the destruction of our government. I begged my leftist friends to vote Dem as it was better than the alternative and I've been made a fool. Burn this party down. I hope Schumer rots
Democrats briefly had leverage over Trump and they threw it away as fast as possible because they're scared of power and scared of resistance. Primary every single last one of them. Burn the party to the ground. Ruin their lives for this
Neville Chamberlain ass shit from Chuck Schumer, just absolutely pathetic appeasement of fascism.
Idk enough about his actual race but i will happily donate to any primary challenger for Jeffries
Marker: If there is a ‘fever breaking’ moment for Trump (recession, shocker special election result, etc) and it becomes clear that there isn’t going to be a thousand year trumpenreich, you’re going to see a scramble of belated efforts from places like SCOTUS to prove they are totally independent
Hey man sorry to hear about all your political turmoil. Would it help if I scrolled around on the computer all day and drove myself insane?
