Days gone by but still as crisp and clear in my mind as every winter morning feeding warm mush.
Beautiful.
Really wish I had gotten a better shot of this but holding a phone that says “who else was just ‘following orders’?” up to a riot cop is hard as hell

Good morning to everyone but especially to Lady Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, whose judgement against Rudy Giuliani for defaming them and turning their lives upside down cannot be pardoned away by the president

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.

We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.

Taking over a party from within is a real thing that happens. There’s precedent for it at multiple points in American Trump JUST DID IT to the GOP.

Creating a new viable party hasn’t happened since 1856.
There’s a two party duopoly in this nation.

Is it great? No! Is it reality? Yes.

Creating a third party means building up an entirely new infrastructure from scratch and then fighting both R & D.

Taking over the Dem Party is an easier and more effective route. It’ll take time, but it’s worth it.

18,000 released emails from Jeffrey Epstein’s personal Yahoo account confirm that prosecutors opened a money-laundering investigation running parallel to the #Epstein rape trafficking.

It was shut down by US officials to prevent exposure of major institutions and individuals. #OpDeathEaters #3E 🧵

Talk about following up the big win last Tuesday with an epic dumpster fire.

It's difficult to believe these people even *think* they were doing the right thing.

I don't just hope they lose re-election; I wish for a pox upon their fucking houses.

With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

America isn’t. The nasies in our government, corporations, and their followers are.
Our elections this week shouted them down, told them this is NOT who we are.

This is a must read from Thom Hartmann:
"...We have to call this what it is: cultural — and sometimes physical — genocide by design. Hoffman’s eugenics, Reagan’s homophobic hate, and Trump’s xenophobia are all the same disease in different generations..."
