One important way of doing this is going to be shrinking our global military footprint in a big way. Which brings me to my proposal: end CENTCOM's entire presence within the first 100 days.
"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux@bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 7h agoI know it sucks, but Dems have got to be prepared to inherit a munitions-and-readiness hole that is going to be expensive to fill, but which will need to be filled. Hardly the only such hole, but it will be a big one.
Tangentially I think a Democrat running as like an actual Stalin against Republicans (disappearances, show trials, reeducation camps) would also perform well
Everyone should read this story and see how the state of Idaho, the Trump administration, and hate groups such as ADF, SEGM, Do No Harm, and the Manhattan Institute have blood on their hands. They murdered this trans teen and her future. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Idaho pushed anti-trans laws for years. Then a teen died.
The life and death of May Pollard, 16, provides a window into the tragic effect that legislation and political rhetoric have had on trans people in America.

the vast majority of agricultural labor in the USA is done by undocumented latinos in an illegal kafala system-type employment arrangement with millionaire plantation owners and a small force of overseers who LARP as rugged cowboys. if you do not understand this you are not a serious leftist.
🏳️⚧️ june | יוֹכֶבֶד🪬@jwlic.bsky.social · 3w agopeople do not fucking understand how agriculture is actually done in this country. they still have this little house on the prairie image of a white guy in overalls and a straw hat with a pitchfork, not overseers in ATVs driving around a 10,000 acre property at night to police mexican farm workers
Saddened to hear my good friend the Finger Taker has passed away. I never agreed with him about amputating people's fingers in his dungeon, but I'll always remember the collegial good times, and most of all his great sense of humor. What laughs we had. Condolences to Ginny and his whole family.
i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious
oh, man, this is great. finally a Senate candidate without a bunch of skeletons in his closet. hear he did really well with the big storm a couple years back
People are really good at not understanding something simple when they want to argue
I don’t care what anyone says. I’m still voting for Mitch McConnell!
I'm torn, because I've always secretly hoped for a war against Belgium but not like this. Never like this.

Other people are like, "Dems are going to win Florida!" No, they're not. Some people find themselves in such a Resist Lib bubble that they end up sounding like delusional Trumpers who are like "This is the year California goes red!"
the elites and apparatchiks across the ideological spectrum agree on exactly one thing: fuck all of you. get in line. eat the shit that is shoveled to you. if you're going to make "defense of democracy" your sole value proposition you should probably not be so nakedly undemocratic
You already got your renewed Camelot buddy. Most powerful Kennedy in office in many years married to a TV star and he’s busy mixing dog cum with chia seeds to “see what grows.”
W.E.D.em Boyz@leftistwonk.bsky.social · last mo.NYT just openly mourning the loss of their darling candidate lol
turns out you can just walk into this decaying corpse of a political party and operate the controls. they dont have the pull to stop you
“Crockett doesn’t owe Talarico anything” “RBG didn’t need to retire, she didn’t owe Americans anything” treating political power like a matter of personal expression is a recipe for idiotic strategy that just helps republicans

The prize for being the richest person in the world at the end of each calendar year should be 100% confiscation of all assets and living out the rest of your life in a dungeon. Good healthy reverse-incentive.
These past few years have for me put an end to the 'Won't that make you just as bad as them?' argument. No, they're worse, we'll get over it.
Ríhanna doesn't have an official legal defense fund because multiple crowdfunding websites have shut down her campaigns. please donate to her directly and send her well-wishes on Facebook. Venmo: venmo.com/u/Rihanna_Ke... www.facebook.com/share/p/18uT...
the vibecession guys know about this, mostly advocated for it at the time, and are deeply invested in no one remembering that it happened lol
The Democrats need to tackle the contradiction of wanting strict gun control and thus placing personal security almost exclusively in the hands of police and the fact of what police and its relationship with democrats is like in practice really fast.
