When Twin Cities DSA members voted to endorse @OmarFatehMN.com for mayor, we knew the task before us would be hard. Landlords, Wall Street developers & corporations like Lyft poured millions of dollars into this election to spread racist, Islamophobic lies to protect their profits.

The "first as tragedy, then as farce" distinction collapsed into itself a while ago so of course the most notorious sex trafficker in history typed like da share Z0ne

I genuinely believe this is a huge part of the LLM worship; half of these people are functionally illiterate
Putting aside all the horrible shit in them: I cannot believe the global elite composes emails like fucking horses who somehow learned to crudely type. My emails read like Shakespeare compared to the lowercased, unpunctuated screeds written to the worlds biggest pedophile. Fucking write like adults!

This is far and away my pettiest Tim Kaine gripe but the Senator’s advance staff always deliver a bottle of Maker’s Mark that is for him only to fundraising events so he doesn’t have to do toasts with the cheap beer and wine the hosts provide and that always really irked me

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

So many people seem to be misunderstanding how human beings vote. We’re not automatons. We’re motivated by emotion, connection, and our own goals. Assuming everyone will line up behind you because you think you have some perfect analysis is never going to be a realistic outcome.

imo democrats biggest perception problem is not actually any specific policy but the fact that they, as a whole, read as inauthentic panderers and cowards. the fact that they are unwilling to take a risk or advocate for any position with <50% approval in a poll is so unlikable!

If this is your attitude about union members working as teachers, janitors and hotel worker, you’re more than welcome to get a job in the industry and tell your coworkers they’re idiots.

I spent years working in hotels. My coworkers were brilliant, politically savvy and understood political power.
Fuck their people, they need to teach people how to win, not how to feel good and smug
