basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

this is correct but also: being right is the foundation and too many political hacks these days think: well it's either "being right" OR "winning" pick one, and they pick "winning" and then only win half the time anyway

Thank you to the 58 NO votes.
What's glaring is how few white Democrats voted no.

be loud for america is probably one of the most cogent things a dem politician has said in recent years
Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment:
"To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Washington is broken because our leaders serve corporations and billionaires - not the people.
From Day One of this campaign I’ve refused to accept a dime of corporate PAC money. I’m calling on folks on both sides of the aisle to join me.

Thank you to everyone who supported my campaign! I’m so proud of what our grassroots campaign achieved last quarter.
We’re supported by everyday folks giving what they can, when they can. And I couldn’t be more honored or humbled by the folks on this team. This is how we win.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

How the fuck would ANY ONE know that's police?! Tell me. In fact, prove that they are. How does this not create the ability for random masked men to kidnap people into vans in broad daylight??
If your country’s police starts looking like this you are extraordinarily fucked.
The only appropriate response is a civil uprising.

Obama and Biden both failed to do anything about right wing extremists and the big change we need is someone willing to use the state to confront and dismantle their networks, including using state force. For this to be successful it won’t look very “liberal.”

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.
