Watching 'Agatha Christie's Poirot', and I feel sorry for Hastings in the episodes when he's on holiday with Poirot. He's is all set to relax with some posh English recreation time and Poirot says, "no no, we must zolve ze case!" and you can see his spirit die a little

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

I think it's actually good that when the person collapsed in the oval office, RFK ran away and Trump stood around like an awkward weirdo. Can you think of any two people less equipped to provide any level of first aid? Keep them well out of the way

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.

Dick Cheney Departs The World He Made | Defector

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:
1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…

If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

I see a lot of "ICE is doing this to even CITIZENS!!" responses, and… who cares if it's citizens. Who cares if it's people undocumented or here The Wrong Way. The lustful violence is incommensurate with any possible justification no matter the targets. They are evil. Fundamentally, biblically evil.

Yup. Them AND the Cleveland baseball team! The latter was very recent, but it finally happened.

Wait, the team formerly known as the Washington [Slurs] actually changed their name? I thought that would never happen! And apparently I missed the eruption from the usual suspects about “woke” over it.
