This part. Black people need to understandthat these people want a white man. They did this shit to Crockett. Many white progressives and liberals are splitting the party for whiteness.

Man all that “shoot your local pedophile” shit doesn’t seem to apply to Michael Jackson does it. They’re interviewing his nephew about the biopic on Regis and Kelly and I ain’t saying they gotta go hard on this kid about his uncles scandals but godddddddamn the MJ worship is nuts.

I wanted to talk to you today about vitamin K shots. Especially when it comes to new parents, there’s so much disinformation and misinformation going around. But this shot has proven to be safe and effective. It could save your baby’s life and spare you a lifetime of heartache.

Okay, this is obviously very stupid and dumb and an indication of the decline of American public discourse BUT... The fact that only 33% of Republicans think they could win a fist fight with a SEVENTY NINE YEAR OLD MAN is proof that these people are in a FUCKING CULT.

But if all you do is attack the Democratic Party while Black leaders are being targeted, Black voting rights are being dismantled, Black political power is under assault, and HBCUs are under attack, then don’t expect me to treat you any differently than I treat Trump and his MAGA acolytes.

In accepting this guy's "faults," my main concern is that we're taking a party that has been a haven for, and powered by, women and minorities and turning it into a space where they are expected to provide energy and votes but relinquish the driver's seat to people who don't care about them.

The actual problem is 1) Democrats have popular policies but the country never hears about them due to right-wing propaganda; 2) Democrats constantly blame themselves and their base for this —a message right-wing media amplifies, making the problem even worse.

i think not unrelated to this is that the dems are steadily becoming the party of the professional-managerial class and are incredibly embarrassed about this. this of course mirrors the pmc itself, which instead of achieving class consciousness has achieved "class neuroticism"

saying 'Democrats need to talk like normal people' and 'not like we're in a college seminar' and so on & so on has ALSO become a thinly-veiled way of chastising Dem leadership for giving a fraction of a fuck about marginalized people so it raises suspicion, even if the real underlying point is good

You know what would be really fucking transformative in 2026? Electing statehouses in Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania that will join the Interstate Popular Vote Compact, and designate their EC to the outright winner of the popular vote. That’s a better use of resources than navel gazing at 2028

Higher ed is under authoritarian attack. Joining the fiction that all college is a sociology class you don’t like, and that Dem politicians are beholden to it, doesn’t help. Around 40% of Americans went to or are in college. No other group that big gets cast by so many national figures as abnormal.

I mean, that’s great. But at least five of the other six incumbents Trump wanted out are going to lose. The other is close. He’s historically unpopular, but the GOP is still a MAGA death cult.

Just went to vote in Ohio. This was a midterm primary and I stood in line to vote. Numbers in Ohio (Every primary really) will be a critical “tell” on how this midterm goes. If Dems turn out to vote in Dem primaries then that bodes well for the midterms in my opinion.

To me the most insulting thing about comparing Platner to Mamdani is that there was a nationally visible campaign orchestrated by bad actors saying that Mamdani allegedly makes Jewish people feel unsafe. The Nazi tattoo guy gets NONE of that smoke at all. Please make that make sense.

also, who controls the chamber is a ton more important than how one person votes. if fetterman swings the chamber to republicans, that means no hearings, no ability to stop judges, no ability to control the floor and force votes on reproductive rights (as just one example.)

The defense points to a "remarkable about-face" by the government, alleging the feds are "abandoning a high-profile indictment rather than submit to scrutiny its conduct before the grand jury":

D. “Dismissal” of Conspiracy Count
The Court’s subsequent directive to the government to bring it an unredacted “copy of any presentation(s) or document(s) shown to the grand jurors summarizing the law” suggests the redacted version the government had provided was missing certain material information or other matters of substantive concern. That raises an obvious question: if such a summary existed, why would the government withhold it, instead of producing it to the Court along with the transcripts?
This was no oversight as the government had ample time to consider its response and made a considered decision to withhold portions of the presentation—even from in camera, ex parte review by the Court. At the April 29 hearing, when the Court asked the government whether it would object to producing to the Defense the unredacted transcript and the exhibits presented to the grand jury, the government chose a more telling course. After six months of hard-fought, highly public litigation, including just-filed briefing on substantive and highly contested motions in limine—and less than a month before trial—it abruptly announced its decision to dismiss the indictment in order to “moot” the production of the grand jury materials, offering no explanation to the Court, the parties,
