Digital political catharsis. Grew up in the GOP cult. Broke free. Thanks, critical-thinking skills.

Another warm night in northern Finland. Sodankylä and basically the whole Lapland has not yet seen frost in September.
Sodankylä's lowest temperature so far is 4.2 °C - remarkably high for September.

Buttigieg: "We are not getting the leadership we need to bring this country together from the White House ... in order to deprive political violence of its power, we have to reject anyone who would try to exploit political violence. The response to this cannot be for the government to crack down."

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power.
The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual
PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

You can't meaningfully fight antisemitism while engaging in baseline Islamophobia, and you can't meaningfully fight corporate greed when you are beholden to corporate interests.
Know how we can tell racism is the reason Corporate Democrats are refusing to back Mamdani?
Exhibit A: Last Sept Hochul condemned Trump for cutting taxes on the wealthy.
Exhibit B: Now Hochul condemns Mamdani for raising taxes on the wealthy.
This hypocrisy is why Dems have a 26% approval rating.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.
Don't give them one.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country!
It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
