Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

While this hearing didn't proceed, it's clear the Trump admin is continuing what a judge has called a "vindictive prosecution" of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. As I said from day 1, if they can do this to Kilmar, they can do it to anyone. We'll keep fighting this political persecution.

Kilmar Ábrego Garcia hearing on his deportation case is suddenly canceled

The government was moving to vacate a preliminary injunction preventing ICE from detaining and deporting him, while his legal team was trying to make the injunction permanent.

Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspaper. Congress can, in fact, say the court got the Constitution wrong, on such questions as: - Should there only be 9 Wizards in Robes, or 47, or 100, or 250? - Should the Wizards have a building? Clerks? Docket control? - Should they ride the circuit? On horses?

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

you only have to read the Court's public corruption jurisprudence to realize that a bipartisan belief on SCOTUS is that it is almost ipso facto impossible for a public official to commit a crime related to the office they hold. which is insane when you spell it out, but also an accurate summation.

I am 100% serious. Fascistic art demands adoration, demands to be loved, demands to be respected. It does not seek to express so much as to impress. It is art that aims to take and take and take, never to give.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

the popular discourse about hitler is very frustrating because you only have to read one biography to realize he was insufferable and dumb, and many of his successes came from people underestimating how dumb he was (you can win money by going all in every time, but not for long)

Okay I've seen at least 2 posts today that describe Jim Bakker as "having an affair with his secretary" or "getting caught banging his secretary" and just...no. He got caught paying her off because he and another preacher *violently raped her*. That isn't an affair, or a simple "sex scandal".

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

A good article, but the GOP committing to defense of democracy won't happen. We must create disincentives for lawlessness and collaboration with fascists, and that means punishment. Either we impose consequences or we allow the GOP to keep making things worse as it has continually done since Nixon.

Instead of building narrative liberalism has been stuck in this mode of taking power only after the right goes apeshit and kills a ton of people. We saw it after Reagan then Bush II then Trump. It’s a terrible way to operate, totally reactive.

Now, the minor wrinkle here is… all of that is horseshit. “Meek” means exactly what you thought it meant. It’s just nonsense made up to placate people who want to reconcile calling themselves Christians with contempt for gentleness and weakness.

So when Jesus says “blessed are the meek” he doesn’t mean the downtrodden or the gentle. He’s talking about a dynamo of manly/equine energy, restrained only to be harnessed for WAR, baby! Jordan Peterson seems to have popularized this one.

American evangelicalism isn’t so much a religion as a lifestyle brand for right-wing authoritarianism. But insofar as it still pretends to be taking guidance from the scriptures it projects its rancid politics into, Jesus is sort of inconvenient. Doesn’t sound much like Trump or Andrew Tate.
