It’s wild to suggest this is a circular firing squad or something when it’s millions of citizen Democrats who hate it versus 47 elected Democrats who conspired to surrender for nothing.
We’re not fighting “each other,” we’re fighting you. There’s only a few dozen of you, but you hold all the power.

But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

Not enough of these guys fear primaries.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Mothereffing AI on my phone just popped up randomly. Misheard something I said for "hey Google" maybe, then SPOILED THE CROSSWORD PUZZLE I was working on at the time!
It actually said "it looks like you accidentally typed 'go away'. I see you're working a crossword puzzle. 1 Down is ATARI"

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

Hakeem Jeffries, with his David Cassidy eyes, is simply unsuited for his position. Bring back Jo-Anne Fabrics. He’d be so comfortable and confident amongst the colorful ribbon and soft yarn. He’s not meant for DC. He’s gentle, and lethargic and risk averse. He’d be everyone’s favorite shift leader.
Who said he was old? He’s simply ill suited for a job which requires him to be a decisive leader, a beacon for the future, an exciting and inspiring figurehead or even simply not visibly anhedonic and lethargic, particularly as the face of the party. He’s not old, he just sucks real hard at his job

And you thought the January 6 speech was an incitement to violence...
Trump was asked by 60 Minutes about immigration agents using aggresive"H tactics like busting people's windows.
"Have those tactics gone too far?"
"No", Trump said, "I think they haven't gone far enough."
This is what that looks like in the real world.

We need regulation on unlicensed therapy bots like yesterday.
I had a 45 year old rideshare driver tell me recently that he uses AI for therapy.
I asked him which one. He said “Grok— I like the voice it uses, the tone doesn’t talk down to me like ChatGPT’s does.”
He bragged that he had a 4 hour “therapy session” talking to Grok.
Chat, are we cooked?

So sick of the "distraction" thing. There are more important things happening right now, sure, but Trump did this thing, and it matters. We can talk about all the things he does. Stop telling me to ignore them.
Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"
