I am done listening to pundits, consultants, and influencers tell us what Democrats must do, as if the attack on American democracy and freedom is a problem that the Democratic Party must solve. This is Americans vs MAGA. My latest:

Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

ken did a really great thread here that nicely articulates why i block doomers.
the only thing i’ll add is this: doomerism is a form of voter suppression. saying shit like “there won’t be elections” is saying there’s no point in fighting. it’s demotivating. fuck that.

So, I took Lynn out for Thai food - we have a great place here - and their heat was out. So, dinner by the fire at home! Crispy duck, shrimp and broccoli. (Lily wanted nothing to do with any of it.)
Then we cracked the champagne British Airways gave us. A better night than the President is having.

Modi could have the exact same foreign policy he does now for cold, selfish reasons without being this slimy in his fawning over Ru's murderous dictator. It exposes him as an awful person.
The Prime Minister of India has never once criticised a russian missile attack on civilians and civilian objects in Ukraine.
Yet he takes this opportunity to spread russian lies. Even the russian ministry of defence was unaware of any supposed attack.
Go fuck yourself, Modi.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.
