What's amazing about these judicial confirmations is that nobody even bothers trying to rationalize or defend them
Alexander Van Hook is confirmed 53-40 to be a District Judge of Western Louisiana. According to @senatepress.bsky.social, the Dems yeas are Dick Durbin (IL), Maggie Hassan (NH), Tim Kaine (VA), Amy Klobuchar (MN), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), and Peter Welch (VT). Angus King (I-ME) was also a yea.

liberals love reacting to violent fascist escalation by yelling at leftists on the internet

Americans can't imagine a world where we aren't the most important.

If you told the average American that it's more important to stop a genocide then any of the problems in their country they would not believe you.
Anyone who refers to genocide as a pet issue is just a nazi
Listen man we’re telling you it’s weird and off putting when you hijack shit for your pet issue like a narcissistic child, you can either let that criticism inform your rhetoric or not but you do not get to act like other people are being weird here.

I want people to understand who Nicholas Maduro is. He's a former bus driver and trade unionist, the reluctant president who came to Socialism through his trade union father and Catholic mother.

you cannot be anti-fascist if you are anti-communist. you cannot actually oppose fascism as a liberal.

Nancy's had a new artist for a week and so far I love her energy. I can already tell Cash understands what every Nancy artist with the notable exception of G*lchr*st understood: that her spiky head is the plug on a volcano of pure menace

I finally stuck on the first episode of Thundarr, based on this recommendation.

It's basically "what if Masters of the Universe, but actually good?" I also like how obvious it is Jack Kirby had a hand in the designs. The main villain is basically Darkseid with the serial number filed off.
Started watching Thundarr the Barbarian after only ever having seen a few random episodes on boomerang back in the day, and this shit kinda unironically rules?!

oldhead advice from an oldhead.

every couple years, newcomers to the movement think "THIS is finally it, the moment when the dam breaks and the whole system is overthrown"

and when it doesn't happen they lose patience and get disillusioned and drop out of movement work

gotta build for long term
