The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was successfully portraying white supremacy as the exclusive province of the poor and the uncultured.

The Texas revolution happened because the Mexicans were going to abolish slavery. The Texas Republic and later the state of Texas were the worst of the slave state. Jim Bowie was a slave trader so notorious that other slave traders refused to have anything to do with him. Fuck Sam Houston

Trump on Ilhan Omar: "I look at somebody who comes from Somalia...and she comes in and tells us how to run our country. 'The Constitution says this, the Constitution says that.' The whole thing is crazy."

Please give the food banks and shelves money instead of groceries. They can buy more per dollar than you can and it creates far less work for staff. Also, if you volunteer, don’t just do it once in awhile, commit to doing it on a schedule. Occasional volunteers are more of an impediment than a help
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Back in the 30’s Will Rogers said “I dont’ belong to an organized political party, I’m a Democrat”
The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)
They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
The Senate Democrats!

Whenever some sanctimonious Dem announces that America needs a functioning Republican Party, I always think “I’d settle for a functioning Democratic Party.”

No, no, no. Senate Democrats secured the concepts of a plan for a handshake for a promise to hold a vote they will lose.
Dems have spent the past two months saying they're fighting to address the crisis of spiking healthcare costs and now they're caving for a deal that does nothing to address healthcare costs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

the number of people writing Senate Democratic apologia for free is kind of funny. At least try to get paid for it.

Chuck Schumer is a very effective Republican senator. He passes the GOP agenda and suppresses the Democratic vote
Man, at this point I'd be willing to believe that Schumer is a double agent. What would he do differently if he wasnt?

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.
My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

When Roman Polanski drugged and orally, anally and vaginally raped a 13 year old child, Bernard Henri Levy is the asshole who called it a “youthful indiscretion”. Polanski was 42 at the time.
The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.
