Seems more than a little foolish to write off people who had voted Democrat in the past who sat out one (1) election. Also, Booker fucking sucks, so no, no one should show up for someone like Booker.
Thank you!
It’s easy to forget in these desperate times.
Remember the value of spreading hope
Posting this in the hopes it can be manifested:
Palantir's greatest source of profit comes from underpaying its so-called "forward-deployed engineers." They are paid well, but only a fraction of their value to the company. They should be encouraged to unionize.
‘Simply stop giving millionaires water for literally free’ is one of the most insane sounding but actually serious policy solutions out there
Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

It’s like police sources use a special dataset and information gathered in the real world just doesn’t carry the same weight.
We have all these consultants that keep telling them what they want to hear. The voices in opposition can’t possibly be right.
I can only imagine.
And it’s probably better that way. Then it’s like 1983 and I don’t know all the terrible things. Forever a pre teen trapped in the mall arcade. Somehow destroying electronic aliens was hopeful, yay.
When are we going to acknowledge that we have death camps in the US?
What number of deaths finally qualify for folks to wake up?
BREAKING: Hundreds of anti-genocide protestors have descended on the NYC offices of @schumer.senate.gov & @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social in protest against their voting for Trump’s war on Iran and support for Israel’s attacks on Lebanon and Gaza.
BRENNAN: Did they mine the strait? Because Trump also said they might not have TURNER: You'll have to ask the president BRENNAN: That's the point. Congress hasn't been briefed TURNER: It's his tweet B: You're a member of oversight and armed services TURNER: You'll have to ask the president
WELKER: Would you support military action in Cuba if that were the way to lead to regime change? BYRON DONALDS: I'm not going to step in front of the president and any decisions he or Secretary Rubio are going to make on this front
Democrats should seriously consider a national ad campaign with clips of Republicans refusing to do their jobs, demanding they repay their congressional salaries.
I’m trying to remember a time when police fucked up and simply admitted it—instead of lying—in their first statement to the public.
I can’t think of even one examine.
Think about M Emmet Walsh.
That man played many versions of a character, but in service to the story without overshadowing it. He wasn’t a box office draw, just a joy to watch.
The problem isn’t that people would pay to see Pacino, it’s that studios will pay him to act as an enticement to fill seats.
How many times has he played a character that could have been better if someone less recognizable or ridged was cast?
Enshitification is the hallmark of entertainment.
lol. I knew I’d see you at this party
“We now have two weeks to remove the homicidal maniac running the country before he threatens the peace of the world again. The responsibility lies entirely with the American people...
If we fail to do so, whatever happens next will be our fault”

Becomes a bit difficult for Democrats to make the case that this is a horrific, corrupt abuse of power (which it is, obviously) since Biden decided to go on a "pre-emptive pardon" spree right before leaving office.
Stancil is doing shit way closer to the French Resistance than these cult of the operator types ever approached, couldn't write this to be any funnier
The thing about the US and Israel crowing about how easy it was to defeat Iran and how they were no match for us, as Hegseth did this morning, is that if that's true as they claim, Iran was never a threat to us and we just bombed some schools and killed some kids for funsies.
If you are petitioning your government for a redress of grievances, I can give your group free "know your rights" trainings! And if you're in Illinois, I can help with pro bono legal support before and after. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. 💜
Trump's succeeded ... in giving Iran a massive revenue source.
so what you have here are two parties, neither of whom wants to be involved in this war any more, and neither of whom is capable of taking a public L even for strategic reasons
and, of course, the reality of the matter is that iran is the side that won
You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.
Heard. Damn.
Daaaaaaamn!
I’ll be using some version of that later
Common knowledge, I just know, I head somewhere,
lol.
I want data. I want thoughtful, meaningful data that doesn’t erase lived experience, but quantifies it.
New on Knock: "I’ve been handed a tent and a ticket in the same exchange — the citation still warm from the printer"
Kaylee Dunson shares her experience of anti-homeless sweeps, and the failures of a policy that says "housing first" but treats visibility as a problem.

I’ll be spending time tomorrow figuring out what tiny thing we would need to give up in order to pay for this.
It’s like a pleasant pre-rage feeling. If we just gave up this pointless ceo perk, everyone could have free education? Probably not that easy, but I’m sure far easier than they say.
10 on his own volition seems super generous.
