He still has a job because all of those things are resumé builders when the interviewer (or the AI programmed to pick people willing to do ICEshit) is a fascist.

The MAGA crowd is going to have to settle for "renting the libs," or maybe putting them on layaway.

To be fair, "sheer force of will" is a lot more comfortable to say than, "genocide and slavery."

Why is it I only hear news about what mediocre centrists are considering and not what actual progressive policy advocates are considering?

If I was considering buying tickets to one of his shows, I’d reconsider at this point. Honestly though, the only reason I’d have been interested in that show is because Macklemore was on the bill.

I mean, it’s Argentina, right? Or is it something much darker like Putin laundering his war dead with a Soylent Green kinda thing?

So, let me get this straight. In an effort to “protect” girls from scary trans women, conservatives now want to force schoolgirls to show their private parts to strangers? Excellent work, everyone. Truly. Top notch protectoring. ‘‘Murica!

This is bullshit. Schumer et al could have focused on recruiting someone based on policies voters want but he chose Israel. Platner has responsibility, but giving the Dem establishment a pass in this world is unconscionable.

Passing the PRO Act and other laws to protect organizing workers would fix it. Most union contracts have just cause and grievance language.

If Pete Hegseth were in charge of D-Day, every Allied soldier would have drowned on the way to the beach, and Trump would have secretly alerted Hitler that it was coming.

It's not one man. We need to stop reinforcing that idea. Attributing all of the awfulness of this regime to one man is the first step in rehabilitating the people and party that made this one man possible. People like Hawley, MTG, and Massie are just as politically irredeemable as Stephen Miller.

While I agree with the sentiment, I think his erasure should only be partial. Yes, every physical reminder needs to go, but every kid should learn about what he attempted to do to our democracy. We need to educate about him the way that Germans are educated about Hitler

Absolutely, but a lot of us have been disregarding their takes on foreign policy since we went to war with Iraq and Afghanistan for something the Saudis did. Neoliberals and neoconservatives have been messing up foreign policy for decades now.

But instead they’ll demand funding for poll-watching training for ICE. Dem leadership will always find ways to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Calling it “engagement bait” is being charitable. If any entity has this stuff and they’re not releasing it in some way, they’re complicit in the crimes.

A friend of ours was able to be a test subject for an mRNA vaccine for an aggressive form of breast cancer. Completely worked. It is one of the greatest miracles of science and like 40% of the country turned it into The Jab because they are mushheaded simpletons.

Rather than bomb the island, maybe throw all ICE agents on the same island and give both sides weapons. Then we just never send food or resources of any kind, and poison any natural food and water sources. Then we watch them kill each other and wither away. That way it's got multi-season capability.

It actually makes me happy to think that when they do get served, there’s a greater than zero chance they will eat a worker’s piss, crap, or spit.

I'd be much more open to a nuanced discussion about message dilution and issue fatigue if they had at least one concise message and/or any message discipline at all.

Is it me, or does it seem like Tim Walz is the candidate Republicans are most afraid of in 2028?

We have to abolish and hold the thugs accountable. It can't be like the civil war where we just declare the Confederacy over and let the traitors go back to their hateful lives.

Hey @teamsters.bsky.social is this the kind of politician you're saying unions need to work with?

And they teach their kids to hate, so Christian teachings sound "woke." I bet more young Republicans are leaving the flock than any other party at this point. I haven't looked at the studies though, it's just a hunch. That's a Presidential level of thought now, though, so I'm good.

Ray Lister @electricraypdx.bsky.social · 30/12/2025

The thing is, Trump only cares about himself, so we know that the reality is, when his "friends get hurt" they'll flip like Cirque du Soleil and he knows that means he'll be donezo.

Butterscotch squares are in a desperate battle with Dark Bordeaux and Dark Raspberry cream for my heart. They shouldn't fight, though because I love all Union made chocolates.

It just bothers me when anyone equates unions with for-profit corporations. The rules we operate under are wildly different and we are democratic organizations run by our members. Our PAC is actually our voice.

Ray Lister @electricraypdx.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Not without the Senate, unfortunately. Can't trust Republicans to remove him even if there is a successful impeachment vote. Plus, ending Trump's presidency doesn't stop Project 2025, in fact, it might actually accelerate it. We have to burn all MAGA out and salt the fields they grew in.

Ray Lister @electricraypdx.bsky.social · 27/12/2025

I disagree with banning unions from politics. The "big money" from unions comes from voluntary contributions from individual members, it is completely trackable and transparent. At least that's how the IBEW PAC is structured.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure musicians have the right not to speak. If there's a contract stipulation, I'm sure there's an associated penalty for violating it, but it's probably not $1 million.

They're going to need to do a hell of a lot more than just run on this platform because we don't trust words anymore. If people like Carville find centrists who try to act the part just to turn around and vote with MAGA to condemn socialism, we're going to see through it and Dems will keep losing.

Ray Lister @electricraypdx.bsky.social · 24/11/2025

No. American centrists are right-wing. We need true leftists to wrench the Overton window very far to the left before we can ever consider a centrist ticket again.
