However bad you think this is gonna be, it’s much much worse.

Taxes: They're Good, Actually

When Trump began pressuring Texas and other red states to re-gerrymander their maps, the immediate consensus was that Democratic-led states could do little or nothing to counter it. But it turned out that Democrats were anything but helpless.

last thought, and i am still thinking through this, is that not only is there nothing wrong with this, it is something to *embrace*. a project of transformation is one way to build a political party into something closer to a political movement.

one of the single most important bursts of legislative activity in the nation's history happened because the governing party did not hesitate to remove their opponents from congress itself when they had the opportunity. 🤷🏿‍♂️

if there is a path to either national nonpartisan redistricting or proportional representation, it is going to go through one party or another. but the first step toward it actually happening is for that party to win power, and you go to war with the system you have, not the one you want.

but the fact of the matter is that with the notable exception *of* the mid to late 20th century, every major change in our political system and government has been a partisan or ideological political project.

one of the ways the mid to late 20th century political world has distorted the historical memories of even sophisticated observers is in the idea that you can achieve major transformations of american political life through something like bipartisan consensus

with yet another collapse of Hispanic voters compared to 2024 in Manassas City I rather hope they do, actually

this is an incredibly sketchy story and so far all the people involved in breaking / spreading it are deeply unreliable sources

A big Democratic tent must include socialists and centrists. You cannot defeat fascism otherwise.

Barack Obama sent a very clear message on Saturday.

No amount of reasoning about the actual costs and benefits of a specific situation will affect their thinking. No one should ever be late for anything. Period. There is nothing to discuss. Being late is wrong and being on time is right and there are no excuses and nothing else to say about it.

There is a type of person who considers not being punctual to be a great moral crime and I will never understand it.

Cops are such fucking cowards. Anything more than beating up innocent protestors from behind a wall of military hardware and they shit their pants & freeze.

Crucially, Trump extended both the ceasefire and the blockade violating the ceasefire.

Yes. Blaming yourself in situations beyond your control is a form of coping with that lack of control.

the biggest difference between this and the previous Republican disaster presidencies is that the GOP will have to wear this for over two years, they won't be handing off the broken economy anytime soon

Worth pointing out again that this is not genuine regret over engineering the election of an inept tyrant--it's buyer's remorse because Trump's specific flavor of gutter antisemitism can't overcome his love of the Netanyahu regime.

Now it’s Robert’s wife making millions? This kind of undisclosed financial entanglement (bribes? Commissions?) with law firms that appear before the Court deepens concerns that the Supreme Court has a systemic ethics problem, with too much self-policing. No oversight! #Pinks

Musk, Thiel, Karp, and other techno-fascists never tell their devotees that when they say "freedom," it means "my freedom."

In their ideal world, "free speech" would consist solely in being able to make agreeable variations on the oligarchs' propaganda.

Republicans, for their part, have cast the push for a new map as a Democratic power grab. “Richmond liberals want to eliminate competitive elections in Virginia,” says an ad from Virginians for Fair Maps, the main Republican-aligned outside group in Virginia.

A more correct way to write this is: "Republicans, who famously love gerrymandering in every other case, are flooding Democratic and Black voters' phones and mailboxes with ratfucking mailers and texts falsely claiming that Obama, Spanberger, and the DNC are against the ballot measure."

Democrats Once Loathed Gerrymandering. Now They’re Pushing for It.

The words "North Carolina," and "Missouri" do not appear in this piece of shit article.

Neither does the word "decade."

"Florida" and "Texas" appear in subordinate clauses, after words like "After Virginia ..." and "Gov. Gavin Newsom of California framed ..."

The thing is, if you’re Iran, endless ceasefires while economic pressure mounts seems pretty close to ideal

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

I thought it had already switched over and literally shared this with a friend and an example of the great new content you were putting out.

Chief Justice’s Wife Made $10M+ as Legal Recruiter: Report At least one of the firms reportedly had a case before Chief Justice Roberts.

The corruption is just stunning.
