Give me the confidence of a mediocre white man. And give this guy his binky.

I can scarcely imagine a more un-Christian thing than live-streaming an execution for the public.

I wish more people understood this, or maybe that more people cared about how important this concept is. What this admin is doing goes so far beyond partisan politics it’s stunning that a single person will vote for R’s this cycle, let alone the millions who will without hesitation.

And when I say Elon Musk is stupid, this is why? How do we get Tesla? Basic Research. How do we get Starlink? Basic Research. How do we get Space X. Basic Research. And it is basic research, done by every color, creed, and gender, coming to the United States as students and migrants.

It’s no coincidence that the far right is gaining power across the world given how authoritarian-curious our tech overlords are, but it’s so discouraging that although they call out and see how horrible this experiment has been in the US, yet these movements continue to gain steam worldwide.

I’m pessimistic about the odds of taxpayers recuperating any of the money this admin has pilfered or wasted via incompetence, but I do think that owners of the media that have played these ads could regain some (very small amount) of our trust by doing something decent with that money.

If it’s hard to win when you can’t cheat, you probably shouldn’t have been in the game to begin with. I have about zero faith the Dems will hold anyone accountable (to the extent they are able), but this fucker deserves to rot in jail for the rest of his life.

Every single person in this administration is so out of touch with the world most of us live in, it’s hard to believe a single person supports them - let alone an entire cohort of voters. This will never not be astonishing to me.

Democrats are well positioned to inherit power thanks to disgust with Trump, but ultimately none of this is about what Dems did in response to Trump. They mostly capitulated and are benefiting from being the other party in a two party system, I don’t have any positive expectations for them.

I’m not sure why I don’t see trans rights framed this way more often, but this is exactly what it boils down to. Trans humans deserve to live their lives as freely as any of the rest of us, and that is a hill I will die on.

A Supreme Court majority thanks to two of our worst presidents should be ripe for elected Democrats to take on as in need of reform. Yet, I think too many still think they are required to approach it gingerly, as if it's meeting its lofty ideals and not a muddy appendage of a broken party.

At the risk of ruining my mentions, I want to remind my centrist friends that “vote blue no matter who” also applies when Dems nominate a leftist. We need to be single focused on winning back the Senate. We cannot do that without Michigan.

I’m not sure how much louder the electorate can get. Party leadership is completely missing the moment by insisting on maintaining the status quo. We are demanding change as though our lives depend on it - because they do. Nat’l Dems are fools if they don’t get on board.

Really makes you wonder if part of the motivation for going after Amnesty International is personal payback for firing her. Narcissists like her never forget a slight like that even if the ultimate outcome worked in her favor.
