Nah, it’s propaganda to think this will be won simply by adding military might. It’s what our Government tells you won WW2. Behind the war machines that toppled the Nazis was a collective production effort. Even the most esteemed guerilla warrior needs a village to support them.

At some point I expect the admin to admit they already spent the money. What will the courts do then?

Projection is our favorite pass time

When you say that if I don’t like it I shouldn’t participate in the conversation it makes me think you’re against negative opinions. But that can’t be the case because you’re defending someone expressing a negative opinion about someone else’s protest. This makes me think there is a double standard at play here.

Do what you need to protect your energy, it is in short supply.

Can we just stop policing people’s acts of resistance? At this point I’m more upset at the people doing absolutely nothing other than maybe post stuff online.

It is a lie that Trump is a dove but the silence by Democratic leadership to call a genocide a genocide is giving this lie wings.

13 Then Pilate said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 But He answered him “Your Mom”, so that the governor marveled greatly.

There is one who determines to take a stand in the world by acting on his own freedom. He values the necessary action more highly than an untarnished conscience and reputation. He is prepared to sacrifice a barren principle to a fruitful compromise or a barren wisdom of mediocrity to fruitful radicalism. Such a one needs to take care that his freedom does not cause him to stumble. He will condone the bad in order to prevent the worse and in so doing no longer discern that the very thing he seems to avoid as worse might well be better.

Not asking for perfect, but better than terrible. Genocide is terrible. What ICE is doing is terrible. Rigging elections is terrible.

• GOP when they gerrymandered Texas

Ranked choice got us Mamdani. It matters for local politics.

MMW: Prop 50 is going to make somethings worse. I live on a blue island in a red sea in the blue state of California. Disenfranchising voters is going to lead to violence. If they were serious they would give us rank choice voting.

I just wanted a cookie.

My cousin was very dumb and signed up. The guilt killed him.

Nah, when Trump won the nomination in 2016 I knew we were cooked. Vance doesn’t have the same appeal. He’s got the “owning libs” part down but his humor lacks a broader appeal, unlike Trump.

We will see if the letter even counts as a threat. The guy didn’t make any explicit threats but did wish harm for the recipient.

Depends, if it’s a bunch of Sinemas and Fettermans that win then nothing would change and people will ask why they even bother voting. Leadership needs to be primaried and changed or else it’s a wasted shot.

The comparison to a Nazi flag is absurd. A better comparison would be if an agent had a straight price flag on their desk. And no, the agent would not have lost their job under this regime for such a display.

So the hope is that things are bad enough that voters finally learn their lesson but not bad enough that their votes don’t matter…
