Note the framing here:
It’s “Democrats have refused to fund” DHS and not “Republicans refused to prohibit face masks” or “the two parties could not agree on how to reform the agency.”

This pops up every once in awhile and I always share it. Wu Tang goes in and out of popularity with the times, but there's no denying there was a Dream Team level of talent and brilliance on that roster. True artists.

Winning the NEH was one of my proudest moments. I am so furious that some illiterate little lazy Dogey used CHATGPT to defund so many worthy projects.
DOGE allegedly used ChatGPT to identify 1,400 NEH grants it said were DEI. Grants were terminated April 2025, according to a court filing. E.g.
Film: 1873 Colfax massacre
Film: first female pilots flying for U.S. military in WWII
Film: “Untold Story of Jewish Women Slave Labor in the Holocaust"

“Do dastardly shit when people are preoccupied” is kind of adjacent to the White House approach.

BTW IMO, an underrated element of transgender venom against Gavin Newsom is his cruelty to the homeless. I think general online Dem populations may see homelessness as an abstract issue whereas trans people are very likely to see it as a potential future or current reality for ourselves/our friends

These are concentration camps and its our duty as citizens to ensure these things don't get built.
Breaking news: ICE expects to spend $38.3 billion on its plan to acquire warehouses across the U.S. and retrofit them into immigrant detention centers that can hold tens of thousands of people, according to agency documents.

It worked for Mark Carney.
Running "centre" and governing right wing shouldn't work for anyone, but it has been working.
At a minimum we need to make centrism completely unelectable because even that is not fit for this moment.

The public values authenticity in public figures above almost everything else.
The fact that Newsom was a standard center-left politician and is now shifting to the right will alienate him from both his old constituency and his new one.
Have Democrats really not learned their lesson on this?

A major reason that Gavin Newsom will not be the Democratic nominee is that it's very clear that he read the same stuff we all did last year about swing voters not liking orthodox social liberals and is "pivoting" on certain issues to try and pretend that he didn't have an entire career being one

No, this is wrong. It's not a "must produce to survive" thing
When creating all of the aspects of my mind can go into alignment, synchronized, in harmony
When not, parts grind together, shredding eachother, threatening to seize up or catch on fire
Mind needs to feast on the work, or devour itself

It's less of a muse and more of a screaming terrified voice in the back of my head saying if I stop producing output I'll literally die

somehow I get the feeling that if Mamdani had a nazi tattoo we'd have simply never heard of him again about 15 min after it was revealed instead of having to read a new piece every 5 days about how he's just a smol bean

If the goal is really “never again,” you have to actually dismantle any system that can be transformed into a lawless, roving, interior-focused police force within a matter of weeks or months, which is all the time it took in the spring of ‘25 to launch the first surge.
