It’s such a terrible and frankly mean strategy when they could just push the party to do better
I don’t understand the logic of people who want democrats to win, but put more effort in haranguing anyone with criticisms of the party so they improve to get more votes.
Cause the current strategy is to let people suffer enough under republicans enough that Dems look better by comparison

Dems can:
-oppose all Trump nominees until this EO is withdrawn
-deny unanimous consent to slow senate proceedings
-vote no on all cloture
-force quorum calls at every chance
It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.

If you Google "inauguration day," you're greeted with an animation of fireworks forming the shape of the American flag. Google has never done something like this for the inauguration, sources told me, out of fear of appearing partisan. But that's changed now, with Sergey and Sundar attending.

part of what motivates conspiracy theories about climate crisis-driven catastrophes is trying to find someone to blame, totally, but also: conspiracy theories can make facts about who is profiting from climate crisis and who is evading responsibility for climate crisis sound like conspiracy theories

if your take on the LA fires is “there will be time to have conversations about what’s leading to climate disaster but the time is not now” you have seriously misunderstood that there is no time but now to have those conversations. the disasters are here. the time is now.

Data on stillbirths in the US is frequently incomplete, delayed and is sometimes inaccurate, particularly when it comes to cause of death. Data on stillbirth risk factors and race also is deficient.
