Tom Kean Jr just wants to support the fascists that fund his Super PACs.
Rep Tom Kean Jr #NJ07 is bragging about voting for "investments into border security."
That's what he's calling money for ICE/CBP to grab immigrants from streets, homes & courthouses; build concentration camps & hold them in inhumane conditions; attack & even kill protesters.
Shame! #VoteKeanOut2026

RIP Uncle Floyd. A true NJ legend.
David Bowie referred to Uncle Floyd in his song "Slip Away" 2002.
When asked how he knew about Uncle Floyd, Bowie replied "John Lennon was a huge fan."

Most NJ/NY parents hated the Uncle Floyd show but we loved it. And we loved Floyd Vivino, aka Uncle Floyd. The show featured fan art every day, but I was too scared to send in a drawing. Yrs later I drew Floyd for a Dr Demento album, got to meet him and tell him how much I revered him. RIP legend.

If you live in NJ CD7 like Governor Whitman, call your congressman Tom Kean Jr and ask that he puts an end to this madness:

What a truly petty man our president is. Shame on him.
Per @garretthaake.bsky.social, the extremely tacky "presidential wall of fame" that lines the colonnade to the West Wing now has obviously-Trump-penned plaques insulting or praising the presidents.

China Between Ogre and Olympus
China may well become the singular Olympus that all mere mortals look up to, but so long as this Olympus is home to Ogres it will struggle to compel the allegiance of the wider world.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.
WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger.

Dems Vinny Kearney and Andrew Macurdy beat the two incumbent assembly women in LD21. Since 1980, Dems won one out of 80+ races in that district.

Many of my liberal peers see clearly how mainstream outlets have ruined their already imperiled businesses by capitulating to bad-faith right-wing criticism. They have a harder time seeing that the Democratic Party has fallen victim to the same kind of self-sabotage.

If you're really worried about the population falling, giving immigrants a path to citizenship is an obvious and easy solution.
Unless there's ... something about them you don't like?

RFK Jr: "When my uncle was president, the fertility rate in this country was 3.5%. Today it is 1.6%. The replacement rate -- in other words the amount of fertility you need to keep your population even -- is 2.1%. We are below replacement. That is a national security threat to our country."

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.
