There it is. Just as we warned you since 2016. As those who pay attention have screamed about for an entire decade, when the Russians hacked both the RNC & DNC, there is no way the Kremlin & FSB didn't know about this and other, similar incidents.

Fantastic reporting by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social.

I'm begging you all in the media. Please read the emails for more than 2 seconds. They don't just say Trump "knew" about underage girls. THE EMAILS SAY HE PERSONALLY PARTICIPATED.
BREAKING: Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein said Donald Trump knew about the underage girls that Epstein was accused of victimizing, according to emails released by Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives reut.rs/4hZV3nw

I think I would still be wildly unhappy with how this all played out with this messaging, but at least it would feel like it's engaged with the world we live in today. The "my constituents just want us to work together" argument exists in the eternal 1995 too many Dems refuse to leave behind.
instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

"Stop electing monsters" is a start.
And let me add, replace the appeasers with folks who understand the moment we're in.

"We will retroactively annul all pardons that the president made for people who acted criminally in order to benefit the president by act of Congress, and if necessary, expand the Supreme Court until the justices agree that we can do this."
It’s not at the top of my list, but we need to reform the pardon power.
"But the true message—the prospective message—is that pardons will be available to everyone who joins him in election subversion in 2026 and 2028. This wave of preemptive pardons is a permission slip, an encouragement for election subversion in the future."

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice.

KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond.

His reply was a doozy.

Full stop, don't use any Generative AI.

I don't care if you need ideas for something, or can't write for shit. Yes you can. There's plenty of inspiration already in the world.

Gen AI is a cheap theft machine and if you have any credit or dignity for yourself you would be wise not to use it.

In my old town the GOP had run basically without serious challenge for decades. A bunch of us "millennials" joined the local Dem party and basically asked to help.

We were running it in a year. Within 4 years we had a majority of town seats flipped Dem. A FAR more progressive Dem than old party
“Rather than taking over the Democratic Party the same way the right took over the Republican Party, we should take the easier route and just start up a new party ourselves!”

I’m about to fill my pockets with stones and walk into the sea.
