Colorful Colorado. Most of our troubles are due to our passionate desire for and attachment to things that we misapprehend as enduring entities. -Dalai Lama

This is why I'm running here in NC. The district I live in is gerrymandered to hand the win to a Republican. It's a R+9 district and my opponent never has to campaign because the map picks the winner. It's worth it to run because in person they show how unqualified they are.

Trump’s goal is to win the agenda-setting war each day. That means non-stop rallies. That means saying the dumbest sh*t every day. That means saying something outrageous or some conspiracy or some ad hominem. Whatever it takes to win the news cycle. He wins when we talk about him.

My favorite thing about Mayor ZKM is that he makes it seem he’s having a blast while delivering results for the city instead of dealing with bureaucratic headaches all day, every day.

How fast does government run? That’s up to you. This November, there will be 5 questions on your ballot aimed at making government work more efficiently for New Yorkers. Make sure your voice is heard. Register to vote by October 24th. Learn more about the ballot props by heading to nyc.gov/fast.

I’m of the mindset that we need to address both Trump and the institutions that for at least two years endeavored to make his political vision a reality along with him which would include clawing back money for food, healthcare, housing and the like, but that’s just me.

Saying it again & then getting off Al Gore's internet: They believe they're untouchable bc they always have been & nothing in their lives has suggested they won't always be. Proving them wrong will only actually work if we also acknowledge how & why they & so many other powerful men got that way.

Ossoff: "We are witnessing people drunk with power who are utterly reckless, utterly corrupt, and obviously believe that they live with impunity. They believe they're untouchable. They believe they're invincible. Let's prove them wrong."

The idea that the greediest men, in charge of the worst companies of our time, agreed to “slow down” for the benefit of humanity instead of themselves is propaganda and you should know better.

Five states have been added to the Union in the 20th century and combine for THIRTY electoral college votes — more than New York. We are closer now to Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma becoming states than they were in their time to the Declaration of Independence.

This is the hurdle Dems will face. The media is going to frame pro-democracy institutional reforms as "radical stuff," when the historically accurate reality is that we reformed our leg/exec/judicial institutions <constantly> from 1776 to ~1950. We've only decided they were cast in amber since then.

As @jamellebouie.net points out in this excellent piece, none of this stuff ever happened. It’s a figment of pundits’ imagination, & we don’t have to let David Brooks or Ezra Douthglesias or anyone further to the right on the political spectrum dictate the terms on which we discuss 🇺🇸 politics.

Normally I just appreciatively read @jamellebouie.net 's columns-sharable video content just isn't my bag. But this is a very, very, very trenchant piece of commentary that captures a lot of how I increasingly understand the disjunction between the commentary environment and on-the-ground politics.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.

the nostalgia diner industry should have aged past the 50s. I should be able to go to an era-accurate 90s diner, served a room temp Fruitopia by staff in babydoll dresses, there should be a Street Fighter 2 Championship Edition machine against the wall. They could sell Desert Storm trading cards.
