Imagine killing 600,000 black and brown people with a few keystrokes and not having a care in the world but one little old white lady drags you on Twitter and you spiral for a week.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

"Capitulating is unacceptable."
Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

Some Savvy Senate Understanders on here are being pretty condescending about "how things work" in *defense* of Schumer

look at what this leadership did with oversight powers of SCOTUS in the middle of multiple devastating scandals for the conservatives. look at the half assed impeachments and half-assed oversight during the teens.

On a fundamental level, Mamdani won because he had a great platform focused on affordability, great videos, fun events, a devoted group of 100,000+ canvassers, and importantly, he clearly loves NYC and its people. It's a mystery where Cuomo and Adams live and they both clearly disdain many residents

So much you can say about his legendary performance in RAN but one thing I'll always think of is how he managed to nail his performance in one of the riskiest shots in film history - a huge character moment as he walks away from the castle set that they are literally burning down behind him

As much as YOJIMBO and SANJURO are showcases for Toshiro Mifune's charisma, they don't really work without a titan on the other side of the story, and it's hard to think of other actors who could've matched Mifune' energy the way Nakadai did.

Refusing to call witnesses during the second impeachment was so contemptibly cowardly that I’m still gobsmacked by it almost five years later.

@jay.bsky.team Justice must be seen to be done. Suspensions deserve a public explanation.

anyway if dems think I'm gonna forget this shit in 5 months, they're wrong. if they think I'm gonna forget it in 5 years, they're wrong. they have fully convinced me that purging the party of these inept losers in the senate is more important than retaking the senate in the next election cycle
