My one true curse upon anyone is "May you die badly and soon." I do NOT deploy it lightly.

These midterms are poised to be a rout barring (A) Republican malfeasance and/or (B) establishment Democrats who can't build a coherent and compelling vision and message for people to get behind. Keep your eyes open.

I know it goes without saying but as the right wing media-political complex runs from Trump we should remember that they played a leading role in--and gleefully profited from--enabling and promoting him. Accomplices trying to get off a sinking ship, trying to salvage what's left of their reputation

Easiest thing a 2028 Democratic presidential candidate can pledge to do is Day 1 wipe out every memorial to Trump and every Trump executive order. Not difficult, but I'd bet real money that mainline Dems won't commit to it.

Missouri Republicans in absurd meltdown tantrum over the clearly correct MO Supreme Court ruling in favor of the will of the people about state districting and the popular vote. Missouri's elected officials are part of a corrupt and disgraceful power grab, and I hope there will be a reckoning.

We need to retire the words “woke” and “cancelled.” No one who is aware of <the situation> actually calls themselves “woke.” It’s used as an insult. But it’s not really insulting? No one who whines about being “cancelled” actually is. We hear them whining b/c they’re still mic’d up.

This line from Ross Douthat’s final NYT column is something you see all the time from the soft-MAGA right. Sure, Trump’s *most* alarmist critics weren’t correct, but that’s basically true of every president. Trump’s *median* critic did in fact predict his presidency pretty accurately.
Trumpism has flailed and failed, it hasn't consolidated the kind of authoritarian power anticipated by its most alarmed opponents.

Every map of the cyclosporiasis outbreak shows Missouri with no cases, and let me tell you that's not because Missouri actually has no cases, it's because Missouri has garbage public health reporting. I remember the early spread of COVID when we supposedly had like six total cases statewide.

Is a socialist candidate electable in a purple state? A modestly interesting question. A more interesting question: what if socialist candidates, despite facing opposition from their own party, not only win, but overperform? What if the moderate assumption of themselves as “electable” is exposed?

A killer 1940s robot zapping two large domes with eye-lasers; trapped under the domes are two children, taken from 1910s photos of child laborers; one, a little girl in a straw hat, is holding two heavy buckets. The other, a newsie with a shoulder bag, is picking his nose. The background is the collapsing pillars seen in Dore's engraving of The Death of Solomon.

Seems the real problem centrist democrats are facing right now is the people are being very clear that they want leaders who will solve their biggest problems, and centrist democrats really don't want to solve their biggest problems and hate the people for wanting that. It's a real pickle for them.

it really pisses me off when people use neurodivergence to excuse bad behavior. i understand struggling with things like boundaries but when someone does assert their boundary (and this is the most common example) the correct answer is not to treat that as some kind of ableism
