Political advertising only works with a shallow, uninvolved voting public. Spend 10 minutes on Nextdoor and you'll understand why we're here.

The general pattern -- a well-funded, organized group of oligarchs is making every effort to influence political processes around the world to create conditions favorable to them -- makes it make sense. What we need to do is identify the movements that oppose them (not hard) and support them.

What, exactly, has Russia contributed to the world outside of arts and literature (which is usually an expression of how shitty life there has always been)? Their technological achievements are almost all ripped off from the West.

This song is one of Van's most sweeping, majestic creations, which makes that Safeway reference all that much weirder.

Back in 2024 I was riding the light rail after an Orioles game. This woman was loudly raving about the greatness of trump, irritating the whole car. Someone pointed out his history of sexual abuse to her, and her response was "I wish he had assaulted ME!"

Biden was, overall, a pretty effective president. Not cutting off Netanyahu was one of his two big mistakes. The other one was Merrick Garland.

It probably works well in evangelical circles. Evangelical Christianity is a white-supremacist movement packaged in religion, so corruption there is as natural as breathing.

When Francis died (a few hours after meeting with Vance), the international fascist movement did everything they could to install a Pope sympathetic to them. They failed.

Those who have this mindset (Jamelle doesn't) -- do they ever ask why God made it possible for different races to procreate with each other if he meant them to be separated? If they have a canned answer for this, I'm unaware of it.

I can understand the mindset that the death penalty is a sometimes-necessary evil that we can reluctantly apply when there is no other alternative. (Though the Catholic Church doesn't even allow for that.) But these "Christians" on the right just DROOL over it. This is a mental illness.

I'm hoping that this will finally drill into the thick skulls of third-way adjacent dems that tumbling into Republican framing, on any issue, just makes you look like you don't believe in anything.
