Y'all wanna know how to motivate yourselves to keep going right now?

One word: midterms.

33 (!) seats will be up for reelection in the US Senate, as will the ENTIRE House of Representatives.

Not to mention there's almost always a fucking slew of state and local positions to vote for.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

Impeach, convict, remove. And if our current leaders won’t do it, they need to step aside for people who will: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jo54...

This column is titled “Out With Woke. In With Rage. There’s no reason for Carville to say anything about “woke” except as a signal to other white centrists that it’s ok to move left, but still leave Black people behind just like the New Deal did after the Great Depression.

Russia’s victory is assured in 2225 AD.
It took Russia 11 years to seize parts of Donetsk and Luhansk.

Right, the answer isn't to abandon the party to these weasels.

The answer is to flood the party with people who will take it over and transform it.
Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Spare a thought for centrist dem consultants this morning.

They just learned their ideal candidate for the Democratic 2028 presidential ticket has passed away.
