it's been hard to put this feeling into words, but we've spent the past couple of decades being lectured to and patronized by an elite class that spent its free time joshing with jeffrey epstein about his little sex abuse empire while lecturing us about how out of touch we are

Friendly reminder that a better word for "underage women" is "kids". You probably know that, but be sure to remind your friends, family, and acquaintances. You'll be doing the world and their souls a favor.

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

I agree that the deal is terrible and I'm not arguing that. All I'm asking is that everyone angry at the Dems saying to call the D yes votes also explains the Rs want to take health care away from everyone and also tells people to call the Rs and explain why you hate this deal.

An Abundant Blindspot
The warping, smothering influence of corporate money and power lurks on every page unacknowledged, a monster Klein and Thompson refuse to see.

Yes to all of this thread. Spend less time navel gazing and more time recruiting. When we first flipped the VA assembly it was the same reason. Lots of incumbents lost who had run unopposed for years.
The Democrats won several VA House seats where winning looked like a pipe dream going into the election. The Dems won these seats because they recruited candidates and actually campaigned. Important lesson for 26--the electorate is pissed--but you can only win when you run. Run everywhere!
Democrats contested all 100 Virginia House of Delegates races. Part of the party’s statewide success is due to the synergies between the legislative and statewide campaigns—even the losing ones. This is a big reason why Jay Jones won comfortably. This is a model the Dems should emulate everywhere

Blue states and cities like *checks notes* Mississippi. And the 9 and counting VA delegate districts that flipped.

90% of political coverage should be telling voters what Ds and Rs do when they wield power.
Yes Dems can be feckless and performative but if you're a low-information voter who likes it when poor kids eat, you should just vote Dem and not overthink it. Pundits are weirdly allergic to saying this.

We can all just borrow against our 401ks to buy groceries, then, I guess.

Put on a peaceful Christmas music playlist (I know it's early, but things are bad and Christmas music makes me happy.) A calm, slow, piano version of Fairytale of New York came on and it just feels so wrong, y'all.

My hot take: no one is burning flags anyway, and we shouldn't even if it's obviously legal- giving up patriotic symbols was a mistake. But Trump flags? We should 100% be burning those. Every chance we get.

A bit behind, but I'm working my way through #Andor Season 2. Initial thought is this is why civil resistance training is important and Ghor should have gone to an organizer instead of Luthen. Don't let yourself get kettled, and train your folks not to be provoked.

What if everyone eager to throw money at a "liberal joe rogan" that doesn't exist instead bought one failing local newspaper and hired a handful of real reporters and simply told them to go do journalism and print it.

I have to get minor surgery and felt this almost giddy when the doctor said I'll need bedrest for 7-10 days, followed by a visceral reaction and yelled "no" when she said I could do some part time work sooner if I work from home. Y'all, I may be burnt out.

I'm not saying I *liked* QAnon, but it was neve when MAGA world at least pretended they were against trafficking kids for sex.
The DOJ says there’s no client list and Epstein wasn’t murdered, which means there’s DEFINITELY a client list and Epstein was murdered.

This is the first week of summer and we’re already seeing dangerous extreme heat waves across much of the country, with most of central and Eastern United States above 90 or even 100F. This extreme weather is made more common and more severe by climate change.
