Robbins: We’ve had dark ages in the past.
Marshall: Does it feel like a dark age to you?
Robbins: It’s starting to feel that way more and more, but my porchlight is burning night and day.

Reminder: They hate Bill Clinton for one reason: He created an economy that helped everyone. But it helped create a demographic that scared conservatives to death: Financially independent childless women. Don’t nothing scare a man more than the thought that a woman don’t need his ass.

Sometimes a creature is carried far outside its normal range; these are called "vagrants" or "accidentals" and while it's exciting to spot one, being stranded far from its natural diet usually leads to a tragic end.

Do the people who hate bipartisanship more than anything understand that the Epstein discharge petition required bipartisanship to surpass 218 signatures?

It's tough to understand how we got stuck in this cycle where every time a Democratic president does as much as they can with the trifecta they come into office with, the electorate breaks it up in the midterms, then elects a GOP president with a trifecta who dismantles their accomplishments.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Exactly. I knew Trump was a Russian puppet and I knew he was a pedophile but I didn’t know his pedophile supplier also offered to be his go between with the Russians.
like the surprising thing here is that 'russiagate' and 'the epstein files' are literally the same thing, not that the former was true lol.

this applies to several republican representatives right now and i think it would be very good practice to observe it.
the correct way to handle truly odious defections from an enemy is just to refrain from spitting on them. you don't have to make friends with them and you absolutely shouldn't trust them. just refrain from spitting on them when they are attacking your enemies

You mean there's an issue with this site always falling for blatant ragebait from Politico and Axios *on the regular?* You're saying that the CEO who asked everyone to pray for Trump's reelection and Axios best known for wishcasting Republicans getting everything they want should turn people off?

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Being a White cis guy is cool. You can be the most reactionary motherfucker in a room and you still won't get even 1% of the venom a trans woman gets for not being the literal reincarnation of Lenin.

Your enemies are counting on you to lose hope. Despair is one of their greatest weapons, for it leads you to stop fighting for yourself. Hold on to hope, no matter how hard it is, and refuse to join your enemy in bringing you down.

Donate money to a food bank or food pantry, then give your extra cans and boxes to a mutual aid org, love fridge, free pantry, etc. in your neighborhood.
Money in formal channels takes advantage of scale, and whatever you can spare in informal channels reaches more neighbors.

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I would LOVE to believe the "election truth" people who claim the 2024 presidential race results have suspicious anomalies that indicate fraud. Politics aside, it would vindicate warnings from my collegues and that elections systems have serious vulnerabilities.
But there's just nothing there.

Witness the deep and mighty power of Canadian songwriting.
You ever think about how there was only 1 to 2 months between the actual wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Gordon Lightfoot recording his song.
And how weird and slightly deranged it would be if someone had dropped a banger about a contemporary disaster on its heels.
