The correct Democratic position on every issue is “I will undo everything Donald Trump has done, I will destroy everything he has built, and I will impose consequences on him and everyone who helped him do it.” No negotiation. Rip it all down.

Driving a car is incredibly dangerous, it should be one of the most regulated experiences on earth, and it is very upsetting to watch people who correctly don’t trust the cops turn against automated enforcement because the alternative is relying on a cop’s judgement to enforce the laws.

The best thing about Vote Blue No Matter Who is that it unloads a lot of cognitive burden. I wanted Tom Steyer to be in the Governor's race, but he's not so I'm gonna vote for Becerra. I don't follow his campaign at all: I'm voting for him because he's not a Republican.

The difference between Will Stancil and Kat Abughazaleh is that Kat used a bad faith quote tweet dunk on Will to solicit cash donations to her campaign consulting business and Will refuses to let anyone give him money to fix the slashed tires on the car he chased ICE agents around in.

Politics aside, do people believe city-run grocery stores with deeply discounted prices are a good POLICY idea? What are they intended to accomplish, in your view? What problem do they solve?
Would you implement them if not running for election? I'm sincerely curious in people's answers here.

“Median wage growth outpaced inflation by 8% under Biden.” “Oh yeah? Exclude the top 1% of incomes and then tell me what it was.” “Median wage growth excluding the top 1% outpaced inflation by 7.999% under Biden.” I would really like it if my ostensible ideological allies weren’t innumerate.

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital
Caravaggio's Baccus painting, featuring a lush fruity spread and leaves bedecking a pasty twink who only works out his armsArticle screenshot that says:

The most extreme examples of
Stendhal syndrome share a sensation of
self-fragmentation. Magherini
describes the case of a 53-year-old
German man who was hospitalized
after repeatedly viewing Caravaggio's
Bacchus at Uffizi Gallery. The patient
felt "an attraction closer and closer to
an intimate sexual arousal of
ambiguous nature that invaded him
and made him feel good and bad."
Unmoored and distressed, he sought
medical attention. After treating the
subject's initial episode, Magherini
writes that he came to recognize his
latent homosexuality. Another case...

Periodic reminder that it's us or them. We're gonna have a wave election that makes this gerrymandering push at best useless to them and at worst a catastrophic dummymander. But we'd better have a plan to completely rip MAGA out by the roots the moment we have control of the federal government.

Very plainly what's going on here is that they don't like the decision by the People of Virginia and have therefore found an excuse to say that it didn't really count This is ultra vires, beyond their authority. It is a usurpation of the sovereignty of the People. It is void.

Democrats stripped 50 anti-LGBTQ+ measures from the last appropriations bill; Republicans put those measures there. Pretending these are the same thing *puts queer people at risk* and I am fucking sick of pretending it's acceptable. Stop throwing us under the bus for internet clout points.

We could have a lot healthier coalition-building if folks realized that liberalism is historically an ideology of unrelenting intolerance of the forces of reaction and conservatism, often to the point of fanaticism - not the ideology of, like, Bill Clinton and Third Way

The GOP entered this redistricting under the rather childish delusion they were going to gerrymander, and nobody would gerrymander them. In TX, MO, and a half dozen other states, they put their rather naive theory into operation. They sowed the wind, and now they are going to reap the whirlwind

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...

Trump’s Humiliation in Orbán Defeat Stunner Is Only Just Beginning
For Viktor Orbán’s epic loss in Hungary to have real meaning in America, Democrats and liberals need to proclaim themselves part of the global anti-authoritarian movement.

part of why the vibecession is terrifying is because now you get all these people who say "Well, Biden's economy was bad, so to win elections, we simply have to have a better economy than him!" but his was VERY strong, so they likely can't and won't. it's setting us up for continued future failure

Keep in mind that everywhere ICE is, your local police have failed you, and abandoned their oath to serve and protect. Zero Ice officers have been arrested. They assault, the kidnap, they kill, and they all walk free. Your local police treat ICE as above the law. The betrayal of duty is staggering.

I don't know what SCOTUS will do on birthright citizenship case, it's anybody's guess. But if they endorse Trump's diktat, the only response is defiance. Outright, open defiance by the states. A decision not just erroneous but illegitimate, beyond their power, null and void from the day it's issued.

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.
