We have to prosecute them.

Two Lessons from Hungary for 2026 and 2028 Unity and accountability.

I think there are two key takeaways for Americans from Peter Magyar’s ouster of Orbán:

1. We must rally overwhelmingly behind the 2028 Dem nominee
2. We have to be ready to send people to prison if we win

Here, this should clear it up.🫩

Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II

This picture elicits so many questions.

And they're all pretty damned funny.😆

What a classy thing to do, Ms Ballmer. 🥂

lmao 😆 you're cute.

Interesting. Just looking at a few synopses, I thought of Loudermilk -- heavy subject matter, complicated characters, ridiculous situations.

Did you watch/like Loudermilk?

YOU'RE the one with a comprehension problem. My original post was a response re the national organization, Indivisible. Did you get confused and think I was responding to an individual voter? Or to you, specifically? AGAIN: I think everyone should vote their preferences in primaries. Now. Go. Away.

Thinking about that has kept me up many, many nights. I just can't deflect or try to exist in a state of denial. I mean, I've tried.😣

Again. Not what I said and not what I want. It's disrespectful to continue using straw-man bullshit with me. I have no interest in arguing with you. Now leave me alone.

You've ignored what I said to pretend this is some other argument.

Vote your preference in primaries. Fine! Good, even! But after primaries, the focus changes from personal preference to harm reduction. It's not complicated. Now stop using me as a straw man to pretend I'm trying to bully you.

Did I advocate for brow beating voters into unity? No. Stop acting like I'm implying that.

Competitive primaries are appropriate. Voters voting and advocating for their favorite in primaries is appropriate. My anxiety is about national orgs participating in intra-party squabbling before primaries.

That's not my point. Everyone should vote for their favorite in the primary -- that's as it should be! But after the primaries, I want everyone to be able to put disappointment (or even resentment) aside so we can win the generals.

Damaging, huh? I'm skeptical but ever-hopeful. My fondest dream is seeing the vast majority of Americans realize that the entire modern right-wing movement is corrupt, destructive, and should be flushed down the toilet.

True. FDR understood the coalitions he was working with. Plenty wrong with it, but it's how he wrangled policy through.🙁

tbh, I hadn't paid much attention so I hadn't noticed. But I believe you, because this right here is truly poorly considered. Just stupid.

I'm always anxious about holding our coalition together enough to win the frickin general election. This is NOT helpful.🤨

Indivisible wading into intra-party squabbling BEFORE primaries is dumb. You're going to undermine your own frickin name.🫩

You're wading into endorsements BEFORE primaries?

You realize this will alienate folks who prefer whomever you DON'T endorse, right? Isn't that, ummm, inherently divisive?😑

Seems more appropriate for Indivisible to unify us AFTER the primaries, when it's time to focus our voting power.

Why are they endorsing people in *primaries* in the first place?? Isn't that an inherently divisive thing to do?? Cripes, man.🫩😒

Wow! Thank you for calling attention to this, because I didn't catch it. I just thought about the value of gains we'd made during my own lifetime since the 60s...but HE said "100 years ago" as if it had been a clear-eyed (and therefore superior) period of principled priorities. Yikes!😮

The look on his whole head is 😆😅. Look at how he's holding his ears...

Yep. I don't like the framing. Knowing history is necessary because it takes a long time to effect change. And when ordinary folks have enjoyed tangible benefits from policy, it's always been stuff Democrats have worked DECADES for. If he's wise he would drive the bandwagon w/o first vandalizing it.

Right! We should prepare.

Sometimes a candidacy fills you with joy and hope, it hurts to lose a primary. "How can my own allies NOT see what's best?" It might even feel like betrayal. Remember to set that feeling aside and focus on rage toward the right wing - it'll feel great to see THAT shit END.

I get that people will read point 1 and go “yes, people will have to rally around my preferred candidate.”

But it actually means exactly what it says. Whomever Democrats nominate, someone will have to hold their nose and vote for a person they didn’t want in the primaries.

Tough. Do it.

Oh brother. Well, now that the press is under the threat of an obviously authoritarian regime, people like Jake get to pose as daring subversives and imagine they're heroes to the rest of us.🙄

Is that still a thing? If so, why??

For some reason I'm thinking of that riddle asking "if a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it..."

I suspect that account is a troll. And the profile photo looks like Jay Johnston.🤢

The Inflation Reduction Act was the single most aggressive investment in rural America since the New Deal.

Direct investment, high wage jobs, energy security, you name it. It was all there.

Too bad it happened 200 years ago and all the records of it are lost forever.

And on the basis of this -- a pure policy disagreement about which he was demonstrably, wildly wrong -- Roberts dreamed up "major questions doctrine" & thereby rendered US law one big game of Calvinball.

You just can't exaggerate how low, how scummy, how dumb, how fraudulent it all was.
