There are going to be prominent Democrats and mainstream media voices who insist that we have to "turn the page" and "forgive and forget" and they should all be roundly ignored, if not mercilessly mocked.
It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Look at this and then think back to how Kamala Harris responded to protestors with "I'm speaking"
A heckler kept yelling about “intifada” & “communism” at Zohran Mamdani’s rally.

Mamdani responds with: “I want you to be able to afford this city too my brother. I want you to be able to call this city home too…We stand together with a vision of a city that has room for every political opinion.”

Cheney dead and Zohran’s big day?

Remember remember the fourth of November.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Howdy! I am back from leave and have six weeks’ worth of takes to deploy:

🔸Caleb Williams will be just fine (and probably better than that)
🔸Yup, Drake Maye for MVP
🔸The unsung Colts hero
🔸The Vikings needed to keep Sam Darnold

Those, and more: www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Solak: Why Drake Maye should be MVP, a defense of Caleb Williams, four trades that must happen
Here are four takes off the first eight weeks of the season, four trade proposals that make a ton of sense and some wild Week 8 trends to watch.

This is such made up horseshit. Every adult that isn't mom or dad is an auntie or an uncle in extended families. That's how EVERYONE talks.
In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

how many Democrats in the last several years have gone on Fox News and created a kickass sharing clip that builds both their own profile and that of the party

this is the stuff where Democrats of a whole variety of ideological stripes need to learn from Zohran
Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

everyone needs to internalize that this is just how all republicans are and when nancy pelosi said "the country needs a strong republican party" she meant that more people like this should be powerful. they are all like this! they all think just like this and like trump and they love it and it's fun
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison.

Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

The freakout in NYC isn’t about Mamdani’s race, but his critics’ perception of his politics (and to some extent his religion).

These guys have gotten incredibly rich by fleecing the government with subpar tech that was designed for rentseeking rather than performance. A smart Dem agenda item would be to build internal tech capacity. The fact that it would punish these guys is just a silver lining.

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session.

Want to know why?

Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out.

Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

This sucks. @govpritzker.illinois.gov failing spectacularly.
really seems like @govpritzker.illinois.gov is talking out of both sides of his mouth. either step in or stop pretending.
@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.
