I would definitely read it but I am not a critic nor an editor so I don't know if i could be very helpful.

Do you think the people who reflex to that defence are already in the soft secession mindset? If your already in that headspace then local leaders doing stuff constitute a response but national leaders failure is already baked in...
Yea this isn't really a centrist vs left problem its more entrenched and over comfortable vs still hungry.
If only they were...
One thing more dems should be doing is running against Trump and calling him a coward while doing so.
This sounds believable for me, given the number of defenses of current dems involve pointing to "they setup a committee staffed with other people to do the fighting" and the fighting turns out to be at most filing an amicus brief...
I have been told a great many times they are doing everything they can but like they still talk like this... "We oppose him when he's bad and support him when he's good." How humiliating to pretend this shit is real opposition... bsky.app/profile/atru...
Neither of these guys are gonna be their party's nominees by 2028.
Do not learn. There is no honor here.
If consumers like inflation they will love stagflation.
Its wild that the two most wildly corrupt people on the court get the two warmest descriptions.
Not sure if would go that far but.... when marxists scream that Capital coops and perverts movements Abundance is the type of thing they are correct about.
yeah i'm a postliberal i post a lot about liberalism

I know people are talking about soft cessation but way long ago I used to advocate for interstate alliances for a variety of things that the feds were not interested in or capable of doing anytime soon.
Google is now occasionally deciding that a search term is ONLY commerce. The front page is full of buy here, sponsored links, links to stores and one or two pages to "reviews". No actual links to information, and no actual reviews. I hate this shit.
Its not jury nullification. Its the worst prosecutors in the world not understanding anything about anything.
Idk man a lot of people will tell you that this rhetoric sucks. But sure Jefferies you can work with Trump on the good stuff and fight him on the bad.
The phrase "congress normally doesn't get involved" pisses me off the more I think on it. Going outside normal is now table stakes. You get one "atta boy, keep it up" then you get back to work.
More boomer spam plz
There is a logic there but I don't understand how Mamdani could do that in practice. Jefferies already is elected.
Its probably not and It gets worth less every day.
Losing three planes to a bunch of guys with no air force should really be a cause for much deeper reflection then just "pick smaller target" There making the most expensive military in the world look like incompetents.
So don't want search terms?
He has done some good statements here and there and has played some good hardball in congress but then does dumb shit like acting as if the mayor of NYC should be made to dance for him personally like its some audition for a mid level exec in a random mid cap company... Wtf is this...
Jefferies still seems to be treating this as just another election, fucking around with standard political games while troops get stationed in blue or minority cities. He just isn't acting like stuff is a big deal. Possibly because when he does he gets undercut by the senate leader.
I know people like to say that Jefferies didn't endorsed Adams until October but its also true that was with a dem president who did not send troops to blue cites. One thing that is important against fascism is the opposition consolidating early and Jefferies doesn't seem to act like he knows it.
Don't really care for dynasties on the other hand ... she will hate republicans the requisite amount.
I had seen the UK talk about gun boats for the purpose of guarding their shores from migrants.
Its a compromise to suggest that him and all his allies should be jailed.
This guy should have been in The Hague after his shit in 2019.
The GOP is "that guy" at every games store, they are the loudest shit head in every COD lobby, they are the saltiest bitch in Dota.
If you play games, especially online, its obvious why. There is a type of player that will rage against everything you do except lose, only winning matters to them. They pull every dirty trick, they meta game, they lie, they even openly cheat. And if they lose they rage and accuse you of all of it.
Holy fuck... so many dipshits could not imagine that any of his antisemitism was anything but a coincidence rather then a giant red flag. I haven't seen them say anything about this shit... but I suspect that is most of his disgusting support stayed behind on twitter.
It seems like another instance of material concerns being suborned to social/political preferences.
Remember when civil rights said you could not discriminate by race and rather then allowing black kids at the public swimming pool the south just closed every swimming pool they could. Weird coincidence that...
Solidarity is a two way street and a lot of what made me abandon socialism as a viable system was realizing how many working class people would prioritize hurting people who they hated aesthetically over any material interest they may have, up to including avoiding getting fired
The last election was shock me because it was clear that millions just showed that they strongly prefer their petty bigotries over actual material conditions. I still hold towards lots of socialist goals and ideals but man ... I don't know how to get there from here.
Its wild how hard those types go to the mat for each other except when your not "a real worker". Then its blame the victim for being victimized, blame the victim for the investigation, blame the victim for any fallout, blame the victim for a layoff two years after the victim was force to quit.
It don't think people are thinking about it exactly but it does seem like a lot of people, including me sometimes, are still working through their feeling and are really want to not abandon their priors
I actually don't think Covid hurt him as much at all. No one remembers that everything being fucked up happened on his watch and the "rally to the current guy in office when there is trouble" is a real thing.
Oh man an embolism has the chance to do the funniest thing.
A few weeks ago my dad said he thought trump had a real health issue with his kidneys and might not make midterms.... I thought that was just a guess but this shit is making me wonder.
They way its described reminds me of the 50s view of big sci fi stuff. Where the smartest guys would just dream up proper space stations for long term inhabitants or dyson sphere or new construction techniques to make bigger better apartments or entirely new crops ...
Some say it should be illegal for senators to listen to podcasts in anything but an investigative probe context.
#AbolishTheSenate
One reason for a lot of small town fascism is that the local auto dealer is doing financial crimes that average beat cops hires will never figure out but a fresh from college forensic accountant could sus out in a hour.
I don't know how applicable that is to nationwide politics but its plausible. Especially the good old boy network thinking.
Years ago I asked an uncle who was a cop about stuff like this. He came up with two answers. The public real likes the idea of beat cops so its easy to get budget for them Internally many people say you gotta "come up the right way". Some old guys view college as a shortcut up the ladder.
Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...
I’m prepared to go public with my core political belief that anybody who can explain at least two of “Gaylors” “the name of Joe Rogan’s producer” and “Cum Town” should be barred from holding office or any senior managerial position in military or civil service
Hank's public response to his son's suffering was "these things happen." There's so much crap that Hank Ketcham did that Behind The Bastards did a two part deep dive that's longer than they spent on some nazis. But suffice to say, bro sucks.
Bears fans here cursing Jerry Jones is how I found out about the Packer getting Parsons.
i’ve fused roles played by the same actor: thread
Same actually.
Either these people think "when did you stop beating your wife" is a legitimate journalist behavior or they are extremely bad faith psychopaths.
It is very important to note, when talking about the VICP program, that it's a very low bar to clear and well over half the compensation paid out is in cases where there is no causal evidence that the vaccine is responsible for the result.
I have a trans family member, and thus followed her to keep them safe. Her news coverage probably contributed to me having a couple of panic attacks since November.
Its also interesting to note that transplants who pull the ladder up after them are typically the least useful for making culture interesting and dynamic. Literally every immigrant has something to add except these people.
I normally don't take cheap shot at looks but these guys absolutely look like they can't keep their hands to themselves...
Ok so I gotta ask... Did he clean up the crime in the area or did he just clean up the appearance crime? Obviously some of it was myth making but was any of it real? Did he just beat up a few perps and push the crime to the next county over?
I am not trying to be flippant either. A big part of going too far to wrt American civics for me requires some sort of extra legal violence that is endorsed by a movements leaders. And we have seen nothing like that in any American movement that is lib or left.
I will consider the possibility that libs go to far if they put RFK Jrs and friends faces on playing card by carried soldiers or there are more then 0 liberal mass shooters.
thinking of an extremely good post about them from a while back, which is too long to post in under 300 characters
Stephen Colbert would do the best bit. The funniest earnest announcement would be a random fox news dipshit being losing their shit on air.
The behavior should be actually crushed by the power of the state.
Wtaf.... that's evil.. that's actually harrassment. The type of thing I do thing cops are allowed to give them a talking too. Animal abuse is such a monster red flag and using it to dunk on a person is so out of bounds in a civil society that yes cops checking out their hard drive is appropriate.
The whole IDW run of TMNT is fantastic. Completely worth reading.
Yes that bundle was an all time great purchase. I yelled at everyone I knew to get it.
I agree but we need to figure out ways to prevent red areas from flushing money down the toilet to own the libs... like the flood alarms that didn't get installed... Until we stop that this is all academic.
The GOP and trump especially benefit from the anti memetic property that accurately describing their actions sounds monstrous. And most people online simply do not understand the difference between describing and advocating for.
Wait are we doing Weekend at Bernies references or Death of Stalin?
WHOA. Conservative Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Rebecca Bradley just announced her retirement. She was up for reelection in April. Liberals now have an even better chance to increase their majority from 4-3 to 5-2. x.com/mattsmith_ne...
Yeah the reason RFK jr would be the last to know is because everybody else in the admin would be afraid he'd immediately start eating the corpse like a hyena
RFK Jr that guy know literally nothing about health
Someone just told me i would like The Doubleclicks ... And yea i think I could vibe to them.
Oh shit is it affordable for us plebs to get a tailor now?
He had a lot of moral luck in that his social groups put guiderails on someone who really could have been proper evil rather then "mearly" bad on a few issues.
There is a certian reactionary brain process they get. Not right wing sense but in the "I have to react to everything and make sure my feelings are known" sense.
Also a lot of the liberal squishyness in the 20s and 30s was due to some measurable amount having seen the violence in Russian revolution. That left a huge scar on the psyches of a lot of Europe.
Beyond the rural discourse i can't even follow the sides for very long much less figure out what is being argued over...
Of the illnesses and food-borne pathogens they can no longer properly track: tuberculosis, HIV, listeria, shigella. I'm especially worried about food.
Which is now illegal.
As punishment for my crime they've refused to take my phone away
Love those mucus or gore strings on the back. Thats such a nice effect.
Oh I should have been studying Turkiye for investment tips.
I have never seen such prep school bully coded behavior outside of an 80s movie villain that's trying to tear down the rec center.
I caught a felony charge for that one time. It was counted as a hate crime because I insulted clove cigarettes.
One of the things about people doing bits is ... seeing the same bit 30 times just isn't very fun.
I feel like the DC budget stuff was a clear failure. It got set low and didn't move. He should have been able to get it up some. I don't think that would change this moment much though. But having even a bit more confidence in leadership would have been a morale win.
I can believe chuck may have been correct in some capacity but he didn't make the case at all and also sucked at negotiating. The fact the house dems held gave him a lot of power but still got nothing for it
I tend to think of eminent domain for only absolute near emergency usage. So much of our car sprawl was racistly achieved via eminent domain. But we are basically in a house emergency in so many places.
Also I don't think mom and pop landlords are able to handle the complicated legal stuff correctly. Evictions, squatters, easements, right of ways... Those all really need professional legal advice.
We do need to do something about mom and pop landlords, even when they start out fine the end trash. bsky.app/profile/star...
Many many of us environmentalists: I wish that fast fashion and junk trinket industry would at least slow down.
This isn't jury nullification. Its these people are such bad faith hacks that grand juries look at the evidence and say... nope this is bullshit. You can't convince me otherwise.
My dad thinks he is not gonna be alive for the 2026 election. He is convinced there is an unfixable kidney problem. I am not convinced but it is absolutely believable.
Did you ask any questions about your quest or the nature of the universe? Seems like he might have secret knowledge of some sort.
Of all the theoretical existential threats AI poses did anyone see ass kissing as the one to worry about first?
