I know there are a lot of competing priorities that one in his position needs to balance, but all i get from this statement is that White either misunderstands how congress works, or is already fluent in the rhetorical chicanery endemic to the body.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

It takes a special kind of brain genius to make people think about politics while they’re already having with the most irritating interaction they regularly endure with the organization that you yourself run, and to simultaneously believe that will somehow reflect well on your governance.

If I am killed by a driver, the people I love will feel the same anguish regardless of said driver‘s intent. Motonormativity stops us from accurately assessing the material impact of the crime.
I remember talking to a former law enforcement official who told me that judges and juries can be hesitant to impose charges that could send drivers to prison, largely because those judges and juries are drivers too and worry that an "accident" could lead to prison time.

A bunch of toxic LA NIMBYs are whining about SB 79, the amazing housing bill the CA legislature passed recently.
It's on the governor's desk, and reportedly he's getting cold feet. Hey @gavinnewsom.bsky.social, please have some spine on the most important issue in your state. Just sign it.
