I love the way Ellie explains this and as a person who has very transphobic family in another swing state that's a possible flip, and whose candidate will also likely need to moderate to do it... well, as Ellie puts it, "you work with the electorate you've got".

Absolutely the most important thing Democrats can do to prepare for November is communicate loudly and often that none of this is correct or legal or fair and that they intend holy hellfire about it. "Drain the swamp" is still a winning platform if you look like you mean it.

I saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

"You're being manipulated by two teams, and you have to pick a team." I have loved the Carolina Panthers through 7 awful years but if the GOP passed Medicare for All, I'd switch instantly. What you are being "manipulated by" is moral sentiments. It's only uncomfortable because you don't have any.

Don't make fun of my governor. He also saved our transit system by making SEPTA employees wax their moustaches and take paper tickets with an old-timey hole punch.

I'm glad he's pushing back but this by Murphy is weak. If you give them money, they escalate. If they escalate, they may one day try to put boots on the ground, and thousands will be killed. The way to "support the troops" isn't to enable a future ground invasion, it's to send them home.

When I was planning to go to USMA (during Iraq) - JROTC leadership and letter from my Congressman in hand - I fancied myself a little citizen soldier but I thought the job was to make the world safe for democracy. The officer class is a product of dissonance like that. The enlisteds want hazard pay.

Sometimes, to some people. Often out of reflexive or when paid to be biting. And also deeply humane to, and curious about, others. I'd counter the meanness in this essay with "Authority and American Usage" from the same collection perhaps.

She's probably not even at long odds to win the nomination. She is a tentpole of the party! Intraparty debates often center on what she is doing or saying. Her messaging is careful but bold. After 8 years, she's established: almost 50% of the party has known AOC since they were young voters.

An early poem by Larry Levis
Airplanes

I get a gun and go
shoot an airplane full of holes,
and stare at the thing on the runway 
until it's covered with rust.
                                    This takes years.
I turn forty somewhere, waiting
for the jet underneath me to 
clear its throat of burned
starlings.

Another Coen comedy, if pitch black compared to Lebowski: A Serious Man. Dr. Strangelove has to be pretty close to the top of this list, too. I am also one of the world's biggest champions of the horribly funny Me and You and Everyone We Know. "Back and forth forever" has set up shop in my head.

Usually a few lines of Berryman's Dream Songs knocking around in there, along with the "Grass" stanzas of "Leaves of Grass" and, thanks to rhyme, basically the entirety of Kublai Khan and Ozymandias.

Gravity's Rainbow. Jonathan Lethem once put it very well: "For Joyce, history is a nightmare from which we are trying to awake. For Pynchon, history is a nightmare within which we must become lucid dreamers." You can see the great curve in Pynchon and then, after that, you see it everywhere.

@fetterman.senate.gov I'd love to call you privately and let you know what I think you're made of - not much - but since you're such a chickenshit you can't hear from your constituents, I guess I'll just tell you that here in public.

I will never miss a chance to rep for @mikeduncan.bsky.social and the Revolutions podcast. Hundreds up on hundreds of episodes about every major revolt that made our present world, from England to America to France to Haiti to Mexico to Russia. Things will snap into focus, I promise.

The last WGA strike was not only 67% favorable, it was one of the most VISIBLE strike actions of Biden's presidency. By the end, 83% of voters had heard about it, >30% higher than the Starbucks, Amazon or UPS strikes before. If you want people to take notice of something, turn off their shows.

At some point this definitely changed underneath our feet. The first few were nerve-wracking because nobody knew what kind of regime this would be. I spoofed my GPS then turned my phone off. I didn't take photos. But when you've got six million people out the vibe obviously changes.

Critical support. One person died in Utah and my friend's MAGA neighbor in the Philly burbs left his truck in the street all night with his floodlights on. Every second thread on FB is currently a call for civil war. They want to start shooting because it's the next step to the world they want.

i think my take on this is: it is good that people to the left of center care about the well-being of people who aren't in our coalition. but it is not our job to do things we can't do because those people kneecapped us

Exactly this. What we're gonna have to do will take guts, and the people with the guts are true believers who don't have any illusions about the GOP. Gerontocrats and squishes need not apply. Blue Dogs can apply but only if their vote is superfluous.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

Saquon offers us a fascinating peek into how deep in the brainfolds bothsidesism gets. It doesn't really matter that Trump is crashing the global economy and flouting SCOTUS, he is a Republican, which means a meeting with him is equivalent in politics points to one (1) meeting with Barack Obama.
A tweet from Saquon explaining his meeting with Trump as due to "respect for the office".

What this tells me is that the mission now is elevating names and stories. What do people know about Kilmar, Andry, and the rest? Because each of them has at least one attribute that Americans HATE seeing in their faceless deportees.
