Throughout the ICE raids, local and state police who answer to Democrat politicians have consistently done the dirty work to enable ICE to continue its campaign of ethnic cleansing.
Politicians who talk about "maintaining order" are complicit in this campaign of terror.
It's up to us. Just us.

one reason it would be pro-capitalism and pro-innovation and yadda yadda to institute a wealth tax so no one could be worth more than like $10b maximum is its very obvious that once these guys reach truly mind-melting levels of wealth they get lazy, decadent, druggy, and just generally washed-up.

Once you reach a certain threshold of wealth your brain breaks, you completely disassociate from reality. Wealth cap should be mandated as a mental health protection.

People like to act as if the concept of racism and the material consequences of racism are somehow nebulous and opaque but the empirical data has been around for decades.

Unfortunately, the only way to end ANY bad systemic practice is to weaponize it against the GOP, because Republicans simply do not believe in fairness, and will never oppose anything that advantages them. The sooner Democrats recognize this, the better.
on the balance i think partisan gerrymandering is bad but the only way it ends is if democrats weaponize it against republicans everywhere they can. wiping out republican lawmakers in blue states might bring the GOP to the table to end the practice.

Can't say it enough, if you are going to build ANYTHING, you are going to be criticized much more than you will be praised. Do not be deterred. Build what you want to exist. Find your people and seek their counsel. Keep it moving.

Whatever you think of Bill Clinton overall, and granting that his heyday was in a very different era of politics, he was a cannier political operator than maybe any other living Democrat. Getting into a public rhetorical knife fight with him seems like a sucker's bet.

I’m not much for just putting on a movie to play in the background while I do other things. I know people who do that all the time. But I just got this used Blu-ray copy of Buckaroo Bonzai, and I threw it on while I clean. I swear, I’m not getting anything done. Such an amazing cast! So fun!
