i keep saying the democratic party needs to be torn down & rebuilt because (A) it's obvious that we need dems to enact radical reforms to crush the ascendant fascist movement, and (B) it's equally obvious that dem leadership is hostile to pursuing this agenda

At least five prominent Democrats should be talking nothing but DOGE *every single damn day* to harden the impression that it was a criminal attack on our government that demands accountability. But they don’t do that stuff.

the same mindset motivates RTO; it's management happily forfeiting productivity in exchange for the ability to exert more control over the people beneath them & demonstrate that the bosses hold the power to make your job more miserable

Riley's Law remains undefeated, if anything it understates how deranged these people are
Riley's Law 

Riley’s Law is an internet law coined by Riley Quinn of the TrashFuture podcast. It states that, "Once you post transphobia, you never post normally again."

what the hell!? i'm just discovering that Evanescence wrote so many killer tracks for Fallen that they removed the song "Breathe No More" which instead fell into b-side obscurity annoyingly, this means i've only just discovered a fucking amazing Amy Lee performance two decades after the fact

The tortuous, botched execution of Christa Pike is truly horrifying. And while it feels unique in some ways, in reality it is also only the latest in a history of botched executions going back years — YEARS — in numerous states. Please know: this is the reality of the death penalty in this country.

The whole speech is good, but this part in particular is particularly relevant now. www.trumanlibrary.gov/library/publ...
A screenshot of a section of the linked speech by former President Harry Truman:

I've seen it happen time after time. When the Democratic candidate allows himself to be put on the defensive and starts apologizing for the New Deal and the fair Deal, and says he really doesn't believe in them, he is sure to lose. The people don't want a phony Democrat. If it's a choice between a genuine Republican, and a Republican in Democratic clothing, the people will choose the genuine article, every time; that is, they will take a Republican before they will a phony Democrat, and I don't want any phony Democratic candidates in this campaign.

But when a Democratic candidate goes out and explains what the New Deal and fair Deal really are--when he stands up like a man and puts the issues before the people--then Democrats can win, even in places where they have never won before. It has been proven time and again.
We are getting a lot of suggestions to the effect that we ought to water down our platform and abandon parts of our program. These, my friends, are Trojan horse suggestions. I have been in politics for over 30 years, and I know what I am talking about, and I believe I know something about the business. One thing I am sure of: never, never throw away a winning program.
This is so elementary that I suspect the people handing out this advice are not really well-wishers of the Democratic Party.

there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

hell yeah, The Day of the Jackal is one of the best thrillers ever made. you can't help but almost root for Edward Fox's assassin as you see how tireless he is in pursuit of his goal & how he demonstrates endless cleverness as we gradually see his plan to assassinate de Gaulle unfold

And people ignored and dismissed us when they were told how dangerous what first Gavin; and then later Talarico and Acton were doing. All it takes it one domino to fall and trigger other dominos to make transphobia the official line of the Democratic party.

It doesn't matter what "wins" you think you could deliver by "moderating" on trans issues, or even staying quiet about it. A society that doesn't have the principles or the courage to loudly and ferociously defend trans kids isn't a society even worth saving from itself.
