My 20-something therapy clients know more about dealing with sociopathy and narcissism from watching YouTubes than any of these elected officials.
In fact, I think I will hand deliver copies of each of those books to Kaine, Warner, and Beyer. No joke.

Exactly! Do we need to send copies of The Sociopath Next-Door or Don’t You Know Who I Am to all of our Dem reps?
The best way to control a narcissist is to *recognize* his manipulative behavior and then set and *maintain* appropriate boundaries. Note: all of his behavior is manipulative and self-serving, so *maintaining* appropriate boundaries is the only way forward. If not, we all lose.

We had a moment of unity in the elections last week, a momentum that Dems could never have dreamed of, and then they turned their backs on all the voters that came out in support—to protect our democracy, our healthcare, and our neighbors. This is a colossal failure of the Democratic leadership.

Yesterday, Chuck Schumer and his fellow cowards showed once again that our politicians do not serve the people; they serve their donors and themselves. This political system is broken and the leadership is out of touch. If Schumer is not immediately replaced, Dems should lose any trust that remains.

I called Warner’s office to express my displeasure with the caucus’s capitulation and made it plain that his No vote fools no one.

I made one ask, though: if he wants any chance at reelection he needs to publicly demand a vote to replace Schumer as minority leader.

The issue with “voter ID” isn’t the ID. It’s which IDs are allowed and who gets blocked. Gun licenses count but student IDs don’t. Tribal IDs don’t. Millions of eligible voters, seniors, students, low-income workers, get shut out. If it were about security, every gov-issued ID would count.

A baby was pepper-sprayed by CPB here in Chicago this weekend. A BABY. DHS says it never happened but here's the video evidence. It shows: "a masked, helmeted man pointing a pepper-spray gun through his open window and firing into the car."

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

In under 1600 words.

It’s almost as if…our political system is not equipped to deal with a far right authoritarian party
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
