Cuomo's campaign is a conspiracy against the voters of NYC, to trick well-meaning liberals into electing a corrupt conservative. Ackman and his allies worked with the media to oust Claudine Gay from Harvard, and they're doing the same thing for electing Cuomo (inevitability narrative)

virginia is practically the epicenter of trump's attacks on the federal government and if warner can't credibly perform opposition to the president then i think he's toast. the real question is whether there is a virginia democrat ambitious enough to throw caution to the wind and go after him.

warner is probably terrified of facing youngkin in a general (which, he shouldn't be) but i think he ought to be more worried about a primary challenge fueled by an absolutely furious virginia democratic electorate

cats are a lingering dagger in the heart of our human tendency to self-mythologize. a constant reminder that our way was not the only way. we didn't need to focus on toil. on legacy. we didn't need hierarchies. cats don't build societies. they haunt them. anyway, lol look at this silly goose.

the walking dead certainly had its moments in the 36 years it was on the air, but tbh i have never been able to get past the fact that, in a series premised on the collapse of civilization and the reimagining of society, we always somehow kept going back to a guy making boring cop speeches in a barn

don't see why everyone is so mad about this catGPT thing. like, you go on there, type in CAT or something, and they send you a cat to live with you. true, it doesn't generate new cats, it has to send you cats that already exist. but that seems okay! people are so dramatic.

I just think it's important to hammer home that the national climate assessment is congressionally mandated. Trump is killing a thing he has zero authority to kill.

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

UPDATE: ICE is wildly unconcerned about where this man is and no one will tell me, his registered attorney. The universal answer so far is "let's wait and see where he ends up." This is deeply off. We would have more rights at this point if UPS had lost a pair of shoes I'd just bought from Zappos

that Noem video reinforces my belief that there is a streak of sexualized sadism on the US right that goes back to lynching imagery but began in its most recent form with the enthusiasm for torture during the Bush years.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

i find this notion that public spending is illegitimate bizarre as a matter of economics but totally legible as a statement of moral economy. and as per any strict system of morality, the punishment is part of the appeal. they are punishing the american people for believing in the public good.
