A new high of 58% of Democrats say the two major parties are doing such a poor job that a third party is needed.
43% of Republicans and 74% of independents say the same.

Hi, folks. Things remain really rough so I'm reposting this, as I could use some help. Anything helps, even a boost. Thank you so, so much! I can't tell you how much I hope I can stop sharing this.

The US campaign to starve Cuba of fuel should be understood as genocidal. They are targeting a whole nation, deliberately destroying conditions necessary for life, in flagrant violation of international law. Pure barbarism, there is no other way to describe it.

Folks I’ve run the numbers on this and—you won’t believe this—for the 900th issue in a row, the real problem is not the issue itself but instead the way “””The Left””” talks about it. What are the odds
I understand why people are exhausted by AI hype, and why those of us squarely in the corner of "human dignity uber alles" see AI doomerism as self-serving hype, but I *really* think people on the left broadly need to start thinking seriously about the possibiltiy of the hype being...true.

They don't want to do that and wouldn't know how even if they did. They took acts of massive public outrage and turned them into a routine legislative negotiation that will yield little even if they "win" it. These guys aren't built for this
Sadly, this is why Democratic leaders needed to act when the iron was hot — to lead, get out on the streets, and mobilize public opinion.
It may now be that their moment has passed and the public has moved on. If so, what a shame; what a lost opportunity.

Sometimes very hard not to feel like the rest of the country has abandoned Minnesota. We STILL have ICE everywhere. Our schools, businesses, and economy are in profound crisis. But without Bovino here throwing tear gas, much of the country seems to not care at all what’s being done to us.

This couldn’t be clearer. Bannon’s texts to Epstein in mid July 2018 - “overthrowing May right now” and in “London with Boris” as well as his appearance on LBC with Nigel Farage are prettying damning evidence of a cross party plot with foreign backing
