when republicans win: we will crush the democrats, they are the enemy within, leftists and dei and trans people will be mandated out of existence

when republicans lose: don't forget to be a leader for everyone, don't dare do anything significant against us because we'll be back

i sense a pattern.
first half of a short nbc news article headline: Earle-Sears says she left a voicemail wishing Spanberger success byline: Megan Lebowitz body: Earle-Sears thanked supporters in her concession speech and said she called Spanberger. "I left her a voicemail, and I asked her to please consider all of us Virginians, that she will represent all of us and not just some of us," Earle-Sears said. Earle-Sears added that she "wished her success." first half of an nbc news article headline: In concession speech, Sliwa says he won't leave New York City byline: Zoë Richards and Eleanor Skelly body: Sliwa conceded tonight and vowed to stay in New York and "fight for what we know is right." "We’re not leaving to Florida or Georgia or North Carolina or South Carolina, Texas or Tennessee. We stay. We fight for what we know is right,” Sliwa said. “We will hold the mayor-elect to make sure that he serves all the people and that socialism does not replace capitalism,” he added. short nbc news article headline: Jason Miyares says he wishes Jay Jones 'the best' byline: Megan Lebowitz body: Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares said in his concession speech that he wishes Jay Jones "the best in this new job." "I know, given the circumstances of last six weeks, many of my supporters will find that difficult," he said, appearing to refer to Jones' text scandal. "The reason I wish Jay the best is because we, the people of Virginia, need it. We need an attorney general who will focus every day on keeping us safe." He urged Democrats to remember as they govern that "politics is like a pendulum: Public sentiment swings one way and the next." short nbc news article headline: Jack Ciattarelli concedes N.J. governor's race to Mikie Sherrill byline: Zoë Richards body: Ciattarelli delivered a concession speech tonight after Sherrill was projected as the winner. Ciattarelli said that before he delivered his remarks, he called Sherrill, congratulated her on her victory "and gave her my very best wishes." "I haven’t stopped believing because of the outcome of tonight’s election," he said. "It is my hope that Mikie Sherrill has heard us, in terms of what we need to do to make New Jersey that place where everybody can once again feel they can achieve their American dream," he added. Ciattarelli was met by cheers of "Thank you, Jack!" from supporters.

Read this and wrap your head around the way white institutions so often want marginalized people to present their stories in weak, hyper-personalized, depoliticized ways.

I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

i'm fine with a deeper focus on economic issues over social issues but man does plank 2 give the game away
To give ourselves the best chance to win, we recommend the following changes to our approach. Democrats need to: Focus our policy agenda and our messaging on an economic program centered on lowering costs, growing the economy, creating jobs, and expanding the social safety net. Advocate for popular economic policies (e.g., expanding prescription drug price negotiation, making the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes, raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour) rather than unpopular economic policies (e.g., student loan forgiveness, electric vehicle subsidies, Medicare for All). Convince voters that we share their priorities by focusing more on issues voters do not think our party prioritizes highly enough (the economy, the cost of living, health care, border security, public safety), and focusing less on issues voters think we place too much emphasis on (climate change, democracy, abortion, identity and cultural issues). Moderate our positions where our agenda is unpopular, including on issues like immigration, public safety, energy production, and some identity and cultural issues. Embrace a substantive and rhetorical critique of the outsized political and economic influence of lobbyists, corporations, and the ultra-wealthy, while keeping two considerations in mind: First, voters' frustrations with the status quo are not the same as a desire for socialism. And second, criticizing the status quo is a complement to advocating for popular policies on the issues that matter most to the American people, not a substitute.

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

ai is a fascist tool. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
Ilyasah Shabazz didn’t want to look at the AI-generated videos of her father, Malcolm X. The seemingly realistic clips — made by OpenAI’s new video-maker Sora 2 — show the legendary civil rights activist making crude jokes, wrestling with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and talking about defecating on himself. “It is deeply disrespectful and hurtful to see my father’s image used in such a cavalier and insensitive manner when he dedicated his life to truth,” Shabazz, whose father was assassinated in front of her in 1965 when she was 2, told The Washington Post. She questioned why the developers were not acting “with the same morality, conscience, and care … that they’d want for their own families.”

OpenAI’s planned data centers will use more power than New York City & San Diego use at their peak consumption, combined. More power than the entire nations of Switzerland & Portugal combined. And San Altman’s buddies in this administration have been cutting all of our energy infrastructure upgrades
Sam Altman’s AI empire will devour as much power as New York City and San Diego combined. Experts say it’s ‘scary’ | Fortune
Andrew Chien told Fortune he’s been a computer scientist for 40 years but we’re close to “some seminal moments for how we think about AI and its impact on society.”

That Locke!!! 😍
magic.wizards.com Magic: The Gathering @magic.wizards.com · Sep 26
Additionally, every Chocobo Bundle contains two bonus cards! These are a selection of #MTGxFINALFANTASY cards from both the main set and Commander decks, with new art and the Chocobo Track Foil treatment!
Locke, Treasure Hunter Cost: {1}{B}{R} Type: Legendary Creature — Human Rogue Rarity: Rare Abilities: Locke can't be blocked by creatures with greater power. Mug — Whenever Locke attacks, each player mills a card. If a land card was milled this way, create a Treasure token. Until end of turn, you may cast a spell from among those cards. Power/Toughness: 2,3. Art: A man wearing a blue bandana and a short sleeved brown jacket over a white shirt stands with his arms crossed. He smiles with a an air of cockiness as several small white creatures with bat wings and large "pom-poms" atop their head fly around him. -------------- Mog, Moogle Warrior Cost: {1}{R}{W} Type: Legendary Creature — Moogle Warrior Rarity: Rare Abilities: Lifelink Dance — At the beginning of your end step, each player may discard a card. Each player who discarded a card this way draws a card. If a creature card was discarded this way, you create a 1/2 white Moogle creature token with lifelink. Then if a noncreature card was discarded this way, put a +1/+1 counter on each Moogle you control. Power/Toughness: 1,2. Art: A small white creature with a big red nose and bat wings is hovering a few feet off the ground and dancing. Behind this figure is a large white-fur covered Yeti like creature who is also dancing.

Again Bouie from the top rope
Here I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln’s 1860 address at Cooper Union, where he defends his opposition to the expansion of slavery. Responding to Southern critics who insisted that the Republican Party was a conspiracy to abolish slavery, Lincoln said that the truth of the situation was that there was nothing either Republicans or the entire North could say, short of outright submission to the slave South, that would calm Southern anger or assuage the South’s paranoia: What will convince them? This, and this only: Cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly — done in acts as well as in words. Silence will not be tolerated — we must place ourselves avowedly with them. We can say something similar of our time. Neither Trump nor the MAGA right wants to discuss or deliberate; it wants to dominate. American politics is no longer a fight over policy; it is a fight over the character of the nation itself. The task of this moment, then, is to defend the old vision of a more perfect union — of a more democratic and egalitarian American republic — not hope that one can avoid the fight by having the right conversation.

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...
Nexstar’s takeover of Tegna would require an overhaul of FCC ownership rules - Poynter
The proposed sale would exceed the FCC’s 39% cap, igniting debate among broadcasters, unions and press groups
