This is why you need a complete turnover in personnel, using NG and other military as necessary as a stopgap in the meantime.

a little louder for the cheap seats in the back

One of the biggest myths is that men rape by mistake. Like, "Oh, they need consent training." But research is very clear: Sexual violence is not a mistake. It is an intentionally made decision by people who know they don't have consent. They just don't prioritize consent over things like status, power, domination, and sexual gratification.
For my research, I got a certificate of confidentiality from the National Institutes of Health, so my notes couldn't be subpoenaed. One of the reasons I call them perpetrators in my work is because every single person I interviewed confessed in that context. The first question I would ask them was, "When you received that email from Title IX that you were under investigation, did you know what it was about?" Every perpetrator I interviewed said "yes." If sexual assault were a miscommunication, you would be wondering, What have I possibly done wrong? That is not the way that any of them reacted because they knew.

I am struck that the political theory of MAGA in Trump 2.0 is the GOP can win without sound or moral government if everyone throws red meat to the cameras as the occasional bribe. You see it with Trump, Patel, Hegseth, all of them. Anyway, Trump's approval is at, like, -23, so...no luck on that.

We are at the peak of ICE's ability to organize support for its activities before Democrats start taking more power & disrupting their efforts. And even when we do places like Florida will double down on state support to help facilitate whatever Congress tries to prevent.

A lot of people seem to hold the opinion “Biden should simply have imprisoned Trump permanently without trial” and the thing is that the president can’t do that Trump can’t do it, we think this is a positive feature of the system!

Mills got her shit kicked in by a candidate with more red flags than a Soviet government building. She dropped out before the primary was even held, due to lack of both volunteers and funds. I do not think she would be in a better place than Jackson. Who is much better liked by Democrats.

The simple answer, btw, is to pick a couple high-profile targets and destroy them. And the painfully obvious two to start with are (1) Elon's companies and (2) Oracle. The Oracle Corporation is one of the worst rent-seekers in the US. And Elon's just committing crimes left and right.

I mean this is kind of rich from people who are typically angrier at liberals than anything on that list, too. But beyond that, people who want progressive parties to be successful are going to be more critical when those parties make boneheaded moves.

The Green Party successfully getting liberals more angry than ooh, I don't know, an actual genocide, far right oligarchs taking over the world's democracies, impending climate collapse...
