We've got concentration camps being built, bands of fascist thugs in our cities, murder of another country's citizens, and we are aiding and abetting a genocide. If the tpusa guy is what got you worked up about political violence, you're missing the forest for a fascist twig.

But what if we start a fight about something that the public historically has a deep understanding of like... health care subsidies. Its not like the right ever lies about them muddling the issue into a weird process argument. Jackboots on the street is way more complicated
it’s fascinating. majorities of americans oppose the military occupation of cities. a substantial number of those are fucking furious about it, but rather than lean into this anger and attack trump’s perception of strength, these “strategists” want democrats to avoid the confrontation entirely.
There it is folks. The brilliant Dem strategy, according to the genius pundits with the ear of Dem leadership, is to let Trump keep doing everything he's doing but only if we can also help Republicans avoid paying a political price for hurting people long enough to hold the House and Senate in 2026

I don't think the chorus dems support Newsome because they're paid to, I think chorus just chose a bunch of milqetoast influencers who care more about style than policy and Gavin appeals directly to that.

I think Trump has to still be alive bc Vance would immediately post he's president but having weekend at Bernies president would be the funniest option. How many pulleys can we get in the white house?

New theory: Schumer and Jeffries were never real. They're AI bots run on punch cards from the fifties.

The best use for AI would be setting up washed out Dems like Carville with a bot to interview him constantly so he can keep spewing all the neoliberal junk that broke the working class trust in Democrats he wants without the rest of us having to acknowledge it.

@durbin.senate.gov is a disgrace. His vote for cloture on this CR is a slap in the face to all the Illinois voters who thought he had a spine. Retire and let someone else do the work you obviously can't be bothered to do

Getting rid of woke in Star Wars. Luke only eats raw tauntaun liver so hes swole like the original concept art. Leia can't get legal status after Alderaan is blown up. Han is a sovereign citizen. Turn the incest all the way up. Watto doesn't change.

My sister made a great point about Luigi. If we focus on him we risk losing sight of the societal change we need. Catharsis can't come from one act of anger, it needs to come from systematic upheaval. Wars, not battles.

I feel like the debate on ai is demarcated by those who see art as talent vs skill. If art is a talent then it's an evening of the playing field and if it's a skill it's a cheat code to not having to practice. That ai creates bullshit only puts points in the skill bracket

It's very funny to me that two modern president's have been complete zombies and two of them are the dumbest men alive and we still think it's the most important job in the world.

Make all media have subtitles. No option to remove them. Yes, for comics I want the speech bubble and a line of subtitles underneath it. I want my novels with a tiny subtitle novel on every page.

I feel like people got so wrapped up in being shocked Trump could win again that they forgot how often repubs shot themselves in the foot trying to do anything last time he was president
Trump is a lame duck the second he takes the oath of office, and he does not have the ability to control the Republican caucus.
Still a lot of dangers out there but Congress will not be a magically functioning body with full R control.
