The Democratic Party's penchant for pleading they are powerless and using their power to punch down fits into this Orwell quote.
Quote from Good Reads There will be no curiosity, no enjoyment of the process of life. All competing pleasures will be destroyed. But always— do not forget this, Winston— always there will be the intoxication of power, constantly increasing and constantly growing subtler. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who is helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face— forever. George Orwell, 1984

Veterans Day in Vergennes, Vermont.
Looking across an intersection. Ground is wet with some snow and leaves (brown & yellow) on the ground. Small groups of people with US flags and signs on three of four corners.

One thing I noticed after the 2016 election were older white liberals showing up (think @indivisible.org ) who acted like there weren't progressives engaged in electoral politics or we didn't know what we were doing.
Screenshot of three skeet exchange #1 Alexander Ross ‪@hardpolitics.bsky.social‬ Follow Yep. Republicans have been planning to kill Roe v. Wade longer than I've been alive, and that... completely worked out for them. It's time for Democrats to get comfortable with long-term strategic thinking. November 10, 2025 at 11:16 AM #2 Deny, Defend, Depose (Carl Nyberg) ‪@carlnyberg312.bsky.social‬ You say "long-term strategic thinking." I hear someone who wants me to spend my life helping Democrats based on a promise something unspecified will be delivered sometime in the future. November 10, 2025 at 11:19 AM #3 Alexander Ross ‪@hardpolitics.bsky.social‬ Follow Democratic voters are clamoring for these eight Democratic Senators to be replaced. That's a specified goal, even if it's not on your instant gratification timetable.

What possibilities does filmic language offer for representing the inner lives and interior states of characters/human-subjects on screen? This series focuses on cinematic works that depict the subjectivities and mental states of their characters in unconventional, intimate, and poetic manners.

Some of these people I know on a personal level. When I was at the Broadview ICE protest, Kina Collins and Rory Hoskins generously took the time to say hello.
Two African Americans engaged with someone outside the shot. In the background are people a demonstration. Due to them facing away, the faces aren't visible. The two main figures: Kina Collins (closer) is caramel colored skin with braids to the bottom of her rib cage and pink lipstick. She's wearing a white shirt with an open denim shirt over that. She is in maroon pants. Behind her John McCombs is slightly darker skinned and probably 5 inches taller. He's holding a furled flag on a pole in his left hand. He's wearing an olive green t-shirt over a black long sleeve shirt. The t-shirt says "veterans against Trump " in black. He's wearing blue jeans.

The 2026 cycle has more retirements, but not hugely more yet.
Screenshot from Ballotpedia U.S. House announcements over time by election cycle, 2018-2026 This chart shows how many U.S. House members announced they would not seek re-election over the months leading up to the general election. The numbers at the bottom are the number of months before an election, and the numbers on the left are the number of incumbents who made announcements.

To argue or to block?

I know this is true, because the same was said of Eric Adams. New York City’s outgoing mayor did not live up to his billing. Its incoming mayor (presumably) is almost certainly not going to live up to his. November 4, 2025 at 7:20 PM Everybody can reply 25 reposts 23 quotes 98 likes 10 saves

Partial payments are more work to administer than full payments, right?

This seems like illegitimate fuckery on its face.

The purpose of a Trump endorsement is not to deliver a win for Cuomo. It's to prevent Sliwa humiliating Cuomo and causing rich NYCers to not give when the Right Wing rainmakers call.
Screenshot of election results NYC "NYC 2024 Presidential Election Results " Staten Island (minus the north edge and northeast corner) is deepest red (64+% Trump). The rest of the city is more blue with Trump getting under 14% in big areas.

If you assume the West is behind bad things, you'll usually be right.
The Columbia University Professor and Economist Jeffery Sachs recently appeared on the Italian TV show PiazzaPulita, where he correctly stated that the United States funded and backed the 2014 “Maidan Coup” in Ukraine against Ukraine’s democratically elected president, Viktor Yanukovych. Sachs said, “The United States paid for the overthrow (of Yanukovych). I was there,I saw it, I was taken around the Maidan by the people who paid for it”.
