Dem small donors are actually being strategic and not wasting their money and or funneling it to unwinnable races because they hate whoever the Republican is. Thank GOD.

interesting that conservatives were militantly “we must reward hustle” when the target was affirmative action at elite universities and now, when faced with the success of south asians and other groups, it is “i think we are too meritocratic”

like no joke if you are under say 40 and working professionally in Republican politics you are a Nazi, you have or currently do belong to an on-line space where Hitler is talked about positively and Nazi memes get shared just a fact of American life.

White supremacist cops take a minority citizen, drive him out to the woods as a threat, and leave him there. No, it's not Mississippi in the 1930s, why do you ask?

Saying he'd be cool with Iran nuking my home city is pretty bad but not quite as bad as when Hillary said some trump supporters were deplorable so I can see why the media turned the latter into a major scandal and not the former

Tonight, 47 Senators supported my resolution to get accountability for the 9 Americans killed on the West Bank & for Palestinians who face injustices daily. That's more support than we've ever had in this fight. Republicans blocked us, but we won't stop until we get justice.

A really reprehensible thing to publish about an ongoing genocide from someone who clearly doesn't care. Speaking as one, preaching this kind of ambivalence paints all Jews in a bad light. @chicago.suntimes.com

As someone I saw on FB said, this is what happens when there is no minority representation in the room. Whatever message they intended, any black American seeing that is going to notice the unfortunate composition. The very best possible interpretation is tone deafness to an absurd degree. Yuck.

Questiob: Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling are two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community. What are your thoughts on them?

Answer: I mean… these people are Nazis. They’re literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage.

Jimmy Carter lost because underhanded Ronald Reagan told Iran that if they held the American hostages until after the presidential election (to make Carter look bad) Reagan would secretly sell arms to Iran. Reagan then used the money from Iran to illegally fund the Contras, a Nicaraguan rebel group.

One sentence: “Between the Democratic Convention & election night, Clinton's emails were mentioned in more NYT stories than the presidential debates, Trump's tax returns, the Trump University fraud litigation, the Access Hollywood tape, Trump's proposed Muslim ban, & the VP debate combined.” 😐
medium.com

Let's get this in a full sentence: Between the Democratic Convention and election
night, Clinton's emails were mentioned in more New York Times stories than the presidential debates, Trump's tax returns, the Trump University fraud litigation, the Access Hollywood tape, Trump's proposed Muslim ban, and the vice presidential debate combined.

i really don’t think it’s unfair or uncharitable to say that the university killed one of its own students bc pushing kickoff into a safe time window would’ve made the TV network upset. it’s unconscionable. i have been trying not to talk about it bc of how furious it makes me

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

Always said that protest voters are nothing more than immature adults who put their own personalities over the needs of others when it comes to making imperfect but totally obvious choices. Have yet to be proven wrong.

Tbh I kind of think the job isn’t to convict Trump, it’s to convict his minions at all levels. Trump might not even be alive when we get the chance and likely would not survive long enough in any case, but putting Stephen miller in a 4x4 cage for the rest of his life is a much stronger message

i really cannot maintain enough that my current theory of donald trump is that he is utterly gripped by the terror of death, and is desperately attempting to leave some mark on the world that history cannot erase--this is the point of the wars, the annexation threats, the dc vandalism

STATEMENT FROM THE BIG TEN CONFERENCE 

As far back as I can remember, I always wanted
to be a gangster. To me… being a gangster was
better than being president of the United States.

 Even before I went to the cabstand for an 
afterschool job… I knew I wanted to be a part of 
them. It was there that I knew I belonged. To me, 
it meant being somebody… in a neighborhood full 
of nobodies. They weren’t like anybody else. 

They did whatever they wanted. They parked in 
front of hydrants and never got a ticket. In the 
summer, when they played cards all night… 
nobody ever called the cops.

At first my parents loved that I found a job… 
across the street from the house. My father, who 
was Irish, was sent to work at the age of 11. He 
liked that I got myself a job. He always used to say 
that American kids were spoiled lazy.

These people are so predictable. Democrats are objectively better on every issue they claim to care about but supporting Democrats is woke and gay so you just pretend the GOP had good ideas that they just so happen to literally never implement.
