the basic problem is actually stated quite clearly in the introduction, which is that these people think that foreign policy is fake and made-up by the right in order to distract workers from problems at home

Well, the second-best reason. The first-best reason is because I'd tell the any reporter who asked me about reaching across the aisle that my sole mission in life is jailing as many MAGA electeds as the prisons can hold
Look, no one's going to put me in the senate, but the best reason to do so is definitely to infuriate the kind of person who thinks using data or charts to understand the world is some kind of crime against leftism
Dems taking power in the states should seriously consider this because it breaks Republican power but also because people will like it! Buying a car sucks. Getting fleeced sucks. You want affordability? Joyfully pick a fight with every scam industry and be seen doing it

Need leadership to do a constituent services boot camp for these freshmen because they could get washed out quickly otherwise.
jamestiv.bsky.social@jamestiv.bsky.social · 2d agoIt's actually not because the secret ingredient to becoming impossible to dislodge is constituent services and that is real work.

over 1 million casualties on the Russian side! one of those HOLY FUCK things when you read about it
tweety fish@sifu.tweety.fish · 2d agoThis thing where Russia seems content to run a 21st century regional war like it is straight-up WWI is, you know, real grim shit
It continues to shock me just how many people retain Hitchens atheism after the age of 15. It’s like discovering people are still putting Evanescence lyrics in their email handles while working at Morgan Stanley.
as @mconcagh.bsky.social says, one way you can tell this site and Twitter isn't real life is that Twitter thinks Black Christians are heretics and both think mainliners don't exist or vote

Sam@samd.bsky.social · 2y agoi strongly disagree with this. most likely outcome is that Trump tries to do a bunch of insane shit, goes through with some of it, it sucks, voters hate it, he loses a working congressional majority, gets creamed in the 2026 midterms, and essentially becomes a lame duck as his dementia worsens
just to circle back here, we raised over $100K for state legislature candidates, including three in Pennsylvania (Pinsley, Albillar, and Wrightson) that won 51-49%, flipping the chamber by a single seat now PA will be able to raise the minimum wage, fund transit, and legalize marijuana. incredible.
Sam@samd.bsky.social · 3mo agoI love Talarico and hope he wins. But he’s already raised $70M On the flipside, control of critical state legislatures will come down to seats where candidates raise 0.1% of that. I’ve researched the highest leverage swing district candidates you should donate to secure.actblue.com/donate/donat...
woke isn’t just back on the menu folks, it’s mandatory.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · 3d agoTHREAD: Affidavit ballots broke for Democrat Scott Colom by a 69%-29% margin in Lafayette County, Mississippi, the home of the University of Mississippi.

Taryn T, Duchess of the Blue Sea@tarynt.bsky.social · 3d agoLast year, Hegseth abruptly removed Nancy Lacore from command. No public explanation was provided. Afterwards, she ran for office and has flipped a seat in South Carolina’s 1st Congressional District. She will now have the constitutional authority to investigate and oversee his department.
The oblivious preening self-obsession in the face of the worst midterm loss since Watergate is genuinely astounding.
There's a certain desperate patheticness of Hegseth spending his energy deploying every single political appointee at the DoD to publicly promote him specifically--while we're in the middle of a war--that finally actually feels like the death spiral of this entire movement.
In the USA, you can stand in front of the White House in Washington, DC, and yell, "Trump is a pedophile", and you will not be punished. Equally, you can also stand at the House of Commons in Westminster and yell, "Trump is a pedophile", and you will not be punished.
This is like if all courts were FISA courts and also everyone thought FISA courts were chill and fine

Dan Neidle@danneidle.bsky.social · 3d agoWe can't see the final injunction, but we can see an interim injunction. It is *insane*. Berki was forbidden from telling *anyone*. The only exceptions: Thames Valley Police (to challenge its decision), and lawyers (if involved in the proceedings). Not even friends or family.
