A note on worry: worry doesn't solve problems, worry doesn't help others, worry doesn't help us, worry doesn't accomplish. I'm not going to tell anyone not to feel bad, things are scary and people are getting hurt. But I know worry and despair aren't going to help those who are being hurt.
And the Virginia and New Jersey elections which were actually won (compared to Platner)?
A base that has long made pragmatic, sober decisions appears increasingly attracted to charismatic outsiders who promise to break from the party’s failures of the last decade. They see their party’s leaders as feckless and inept.

I look through so much of this site, & I see so much of this site darting around, throwing mudballs, and not realizing the opportunity we have, not just this year, but the next 3 years. It's within our grasp, but people dart around like what Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln called pettifogging hucksters

Why does, when he's talking dues paying orgs list the IWW (and international trade union) with political orgs but not other trade unions (international or not)?
It's genuinely funny when *neoliberals* call DSA small
Your largest dues-paying organization is in the range as Trotskyists and Maoists!

If bakery owners can't be required to serve baked goods to people they are prejudiced against, banks should not be required to serve private prisons.
In fact, it would be good if service could *not* be refused based on bigotry, but businesses *could* refuse to assist companies who warehouse humans.

ICE has been holding a disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor in a camp for a year.
He’s been in the US since he was two years old.
It’s all he knows.
When they detained him, they denied him access to new prosthetic legs.
His health is declining.

If you are supposedly a Dem and you are posting NY Post screenshots you need to seriously rethink your life choices. And I say this whether you are left, center, "establishment " or "insurgent ". Just say no to the NY Post

🚨HOLY CRAP. The Trump admin just took a SLEDGEHAMMER to due process, largely eliminating the Board of Immigration Appeals process and MANDATING DISMISSAL of ALL appeals (which cost $1,000 thanks to OBBBA) filed after tomorrow unless a majority of the BIA votes to hear the case.
