If there is good news, it is this: we are at the dawn of an age when no one will care what anyone who let Trump happen says about anything. I kind of think that’s a future worth living for.

"Jon Ossoff, my advice to him is, if you start calling your political opponents Nazis, maybe it's time to shut up. That's just not what we do here in this country." -- David Brooks, this evening. Remember, Brooks still gets very handsomely rewarded by the fossilized media for saying shit like this

none of this is new of course but the grotesquerie of this sort of electoral tantrum in contrast to palestinian-american kids who are killed or indefinitely detained visiting family in lebanon or the west bank, or who can't visit family in gaza, is just fucking infuriating

Someone needs to be writing a book or making a doc about this woman because god damn this has been one of the most profound political messaging campaigns from a famous person that has happened in my lifetime

Ms Rachel says say no to Haley Stevens

Days ago there was the common sentiment that DHS/ICE is adapting by staying out of the news, and in a week they have murdered two fathers, with a child today watching her father die by the hands of a secret police force. Abolish ICE and ruin everyone part of that apparatus.

BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.

I truly don’t see how this country can go on if we don’t ban online sports betting. This story is stomach-turning.

FanDuel sent a personal message from Phillies star Bryce Harper to a customer with a gambling addiction

Terry Thompson lost $1.5 million on bets he placed with FanDuel. The company gave him VIP treatment — including a personalized video message from the Phillies' All-Star first baseman.

ICE fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo during a Houston enforcement operation. His family says he was a hardworking father on his way to work. This is a deadly pattern at DHS: no transparency, no oversight, no accountability. We demand an independent investigation.

Couldn't fit this into the piece, but the belief that the left needs its own oaf means that Trump is still dictating the rules of engagement. Believing 1) white working class men are the voters that matter and 2) that they will only vote for themselves is just MAGA with a different coat of paint.

A lot of leftist men were — and seemingly still are — willing to accept Graham Platner's many many faults because they have a sneering, condescending belief that working people in this country are white townie oafs who will only listen to other white townie oafs. www.garbageday.email/p/the-curdli...

I will plug into community and protest and do mutual aid and electoral work and show up and not just doom scroll but wow the anger is just buzzing in the back of my skull at all times. I am happy and loved and also angry to a degree I cannot describe

The American electorate is so fuckin weird man

and there's the rape allegation he's gotta go he should've been gone a long, long time ago but he's gotta go

if we forced out Joe Biden we can force out Graham fucking Platner

I just think if you can’t understand the difference between this and, say, the way Tucker Carlson talks about Jews, you’re not gonna be able to understand the next ten years of politics at least

yeah she's going to be fine

Like dead ass we all need to be re socialized and get used to conflict and being uncomfortable that’s the kind of primitivism we are dealing w on the left. We need to de alienate ourselves from each other
