“Half of Minneapolis” sounds like a PAC
‘Did you just have a reading or something?’ an old guy asked a cashier at Magers & Quinn. ‘Half of Minneapolis is here.’
‘It’s our only sale of the entire year,’ the cashier responded. ‘Twenty percent off everything in store.’

Yes, confront GOP House and Senate members endlessly. But don't ASK them questions about TRUMP--that always fails.
ASK them about themselves: About what they are DOING to impeach Trump for having given such pardons. Don't give them a choice to outsource this to Trump.

Now confront GOP house and senate members endlessly with these facts and ask them why someone who pardons a criminal like that should be president?

When this article was written (2020), the suave take that most conservative bigwigs know they are lying was at least plausible. These people are true believers now.
Most conservatives aren’t climate change denialists. They know it’s here and only getting worse—they just plan to come out on the “winning” side. From the Archives: @materialistjew.bsky.social writes on the politics of climate change.

One of the most common misconceptions concerning climate change is that it produces, or even requires, a united humanity.

It’s only acceptable to hoard wealth, not use it

(at speech to Canadian lobbying group): Eric Adams is the Rob Ford of America
Eric Adams is a fascinatingly terrible man who should never have been trusted with an iota of power.
A final reminder that Eric Adams is a certified bad person, not a lovable scamp who would have been a good mayor if he could have just done fewer crimes

Brandon Johnson hired loyalists and patronage hacks whereas Zohran rolls out another presidential cabinet-tier hire every few hours
I think people are underestimating how much Mamdani, even more so than your average elected leftist, see it as his top priority to not be seen as a failed mayor. He is not going to be another Brandon Johnson, I’d wager

I will say that MSNBC is doing a much better job than actual Democratic elected officials at hammering Trump's corruption. Jen Psaki is doing a genuinely good segment on how every admin action is the result of a bribe

Zohran’s inauguration brimmed w/the energy that NYC is “a shining beacon of possibility” per @jumaane.bsky.social.
Amidst the darkness of authoritarianism, inequality & hate, we have a chance to show what’s possible.
