It’s all so dumb.
Reagan apologized for incarcerating Japanese Americans.
If you think there’s NOTHING in our heritage (or in any nation’s) to be unapologetic about, you’re a fool. A dangerous fool.

They told us we were crazy for paying attention to what Trump said he was going to do.
New poll: In 2024, low-engagement voters went for Trump over Harris by 11 percentage points. But now they disapprove of the way he's handling the presidency by 13. They have moved 25 points against Trump — 2x as large as the shift for high-knowledge voters www.gelliottmorris.com/p/trump-lost...
Trump has lost the voters who weren’t paying attention in 2024
The least-engaged Americans have swung 25 points against him since 2024 — about twice the shift among everyone else. Trump has flattened the engagement gap.

Been saying this since 2002.
Partisan gerrymandering should be constitutionally barred.
SCOTUS says it isn't.
Until a constitutional amendment changes that we can't have unilateral disarmament.
Which means once Republicans kicked off mid-decade redistricting this was the only possible response

“Let us be clear: we want the power of the state. We wish to hold the criminals of the regime accountable. We wish to seize back the public funds looted by Trump and his cronies. We wish to undo the damage he has done to the government. More than any of that we wish to rebuild.”
From Powerlessness to Power
We will not achieve any of our ultimate goals without exercising state power, and the most effective way to take state power is through nonviolent but confrontational resistance.

Can’t believe that Musk’s defense is that he is innocent in the Epstein files because even Epstein thought he was a loser and wouldn’t invite him when Musk begged to go.

“I’m not surprised this happened,” Ilhan Omar attacker Anthony Kazmierczak’s brother said. “Not at all. Unfortunately, he and my mother are both right-wing extremists.”
"In my mind, he’s a piece of s**t," he added.

The Russians went into Ukraine with about 220k troops. So this is 6x the initial commitment killed or wounded.
💀 Russia has lost 1.2 million people (dead and wounded) since the start of the war, more than any country since WWII, — CSIS
Losses in Russian army are much higher than Ukrainians — in 2025 alone they amounted to about 415,000, which is about 75% of the losses of the Ukrainians for all four years.

Very soon every politician in Europe is going to decide that popularity comes from pushing back at Trump.
(Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's comments that NATO troops stayed off the front line in Afghanistan were "insulting and frankly appalling", British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Friday.

The Democratic leaders in Congress have repeatedly shown that they have no interest in leading an effective opposition.
They have no appetite for the legislative trench warfare this moment requires. They don't even have the will to speak about it clearly. They just want to be left alone.

We have to get rid of Jeffries and Schumer. We have to. It’s unendurable that these men are the most prominent Democrats of the moment. They are two of the most broadly undistinguished men I could imagine in politics, zero fire, zero fight, zero zeal, machine politicians with sinecures.

11-6, playoff win, Caleb looks like he is continuing to develop into an elite QB. Johnson looks like a potential star HC. Give us some more D and we are looking good for 2026. Maybe this is our 1984 year.
