In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

Not sure I agree, and here’s an example. If there was one m-fer in national politics who was willing to pull that pin, it was Ross Perot. And he managed 20% as an independent! So I think it probably depends on the circumstances and candidate, but it can be done.
It is not the case.

While Trump’s ballroom is going to be gaudy and stupid, I truly do not understand why everyone is so enraged about it. What was so special about the East Wing? Who gives a shit if it’s torn down? Most of us were never going to go there anyway.

This is a song I love and have played ‘round a campfire or two, but I never could’ve imagined it (aptly) being repurposed for…this. But yeah, it fits. Ugh.
All I think of when I see this picture is The Weakerthans:
“And up above us all
leaning into sky
a golden business boy
Will watch the North End die
And sing ‘I love this town’
Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim
I hate Winnipeg”
That’s the energy here…

The fight here with Gorsuch and Kav vs Nelson is whether the "use" of race automatically means "discrimination" on the basis of race.
That's interesting to me, because it's basically the white folks telling on themselves. They cannot see a "use" of race that isn't synonymous with discrimination.

Lmao. So, let me get this straight. Antifa infiltrated J6, committed violence, and then he…pardoned them? Make it make sense.
Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?
TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.
