I understand the desire to change the names of the Indians, Braves, and Chiefs. Makes sense and I generally agree, but there is nuance to the arguments. The Washington Racial Slurs on the other hand is just fucking insane.

Zero thought as to why secret police in authoritarian regimes wear masks. It’s because of “doxing.” It’s because secret police want to avoid social consequences for their actions. That’s the reason! It’s literally the same thing as what they’re comparing it to!
Screenshot of CNN article section saying “The masks frequently worn by agents make ICE seem like the type of secret police that operates in authoritarian regimes. But they are apparently meant to protect agents from doxxing.”

Literallly the only mention of his policies is “He also still faces a potentially difficult general election campaign, where his progressive policy proposals will be scrutinized and various business interests are likely to campaign against him.” Fucking morons. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/26/u...

Giving myself the day to be excited about the possibility of a new chapter in American politics. Tomorrow I remind myself that the last time a Democratic socialist won the Dem primary in a major New York City, the entire democratic establishment coalesced to defeat her in the general election.

The nightmare scenario is not Trump declaring martial law. The nightmare scenario is trump realizing he logistically and politically can’t enforce martial law nationwide, bitching about it to his base, and calling on every fascist thug with a gun to “take back our cities.”

It really does feel like we’re on the cusp of something truly awful. Someone’s going to do something stupid and it’s going to snowball. Which really seems to be the goal at this point.

All politics is local. Local policy is really easy to grasp because we see it day to day. When the people who helped you build a sidewalk tell you something, you have a reason to trust them. Get people invested in their local leadership and the rest is easy.

Bottoms punched above her weight class one time. She then backed the winning horse in 2020 so got some VP love. She’s a lucky one term mayor convinced that she’s a political genius.

The tragedy of the Democratic Party is that even our “strongholds” consistently fail at clearly better governance. Blue states have a lot of positives, but housing is still unaffordable, transit is still a joke, and the cost of living is still high. Hard sell to your average voter.

I’m excited to announce I’m running for Lieutenant Governor of Georgia. We need Democrats who fight. That means showing up, saying hard truths out loud, and refusing to comply in advance.

Fuuckk. Just realized what an wide open GOP primary for Senate is gonna do to Georgia. Prepare for a year of terrible ads y’all. Not just the general bigotry either. People are gonna try to stand out so it’s gonna get real weird down here.

Georgia Senate just became Lean D and a whole bunch of Georgia Republicans just decided they want to be a US Senator. Cannot overstate how significant this is.

He picked the safer route! Running in 2026 forced him into defending Trump and running in support of whatever happens in the next year. The fact that such a politically adept and hugely popular candidate chose not to should be seen as a good sign that even the GOP knows a major backlash is coming.

The reason for this is that in the American Mythos, factory jobs represent a lifelong career that allowed to buy a house, raise a family, and retire on a pension. The problem with this is that the myth completely ignores the role unions had in making those things reality.

We’re going to see our system become less effective and our immigrant communities less safe. Undocumented immigrants and their families will stop coming to court. People will stop reporting crimes or cooperating with police. They’ll stop complying with ICE check ins. The trust is gone.

This is the bigger issue here imo. The Judge knew what she was doing and she toed that line. Maybe she crossed it, maybe not. But you don’t arrest a JUDGE like this unless you’re sending a message. It’s a warning to every judge in the country to stay out of their way. Or else.

Re: the Milwaukee judge. Let’s say that the judge did commit a crime. In a normal time, such an allegation would be a matter to be handled with the utmost care, to ensure that a judge is not given special treatment because they are a judge, but also to make certain that if a judge is to be arrested

President Trump again attacked the chair of the Federal Reserve this week, but advisers say the president has turned more cautious on policies that could stoke extreme financial volatility again.
