Disagree with the portrayal of the left on this one. Plenty of leftists have been talking about what an infinitesimally small percentage of the budget USAID or the library programs are, for two example. And for such a small portion of our budget they create tremendous economic+political benefits.

She is a cool kid with experience, her education literally qualifies her to be a history teacher. GWU School of International Relations... A huge chunk of her major was history. I would know, I went to GWU.

Who is 80. EIGHTY. EIGHT ZERO. There *are* progressive Xers, Millennials, and now Zers. It's time for her to *retire.* If you told me this was an R+2 district with a Dem that barely hangs on due to personal charisma and history, fine. Silent Gen and Boomers need to go. Away. Their time is done.

Winfrey? The one that brought prominence to Oz who ran as a MAGA Republican in PA? Or Phil who just joined ICE raids under Trump?

Not sure she has a reliable track record for picking who should be represented political media.

I feel this in my bones.

@rbreich.bsky.social and what are we supposed to do. There are logical conclusions of actions to take, but it seems like those that could lead us are afraid to say the words out loud.

-Stoking rage against elites

I would put that under the above tag. -'Mainstream' media
-Universities
-Scientists and Experts
-Government bureaucrats

1) Walk Out, hold a press conference on the steps laying out how he is a traitor

2) Live(and disruptive) fact checking from the floor

3) Pull a Joe 'You Lie' Wilson throughout the speech

4) If I say what I think I will get in trouble.

That's exactly why, publicly force Zelensky to grovel on live TV and take a victory lap in front of his followers. Instead, predictably, he was embarrassing when Zelensky showed spine and courage and refused to bend the knee.

1860: "In favor of states' rights"

Which states' rights?

2025: "In favor of personal liberty**"

Yes, IIRC he talks about and it was something he was committed to. 50% at random meant truly random (to him, not the Marvel writers).

Finished my latest rewatch before November. It's going to be a long time before I can go back to what is now clearly a fairytale.

This weekend the administration began publicly discussing ignoring the court. What is the next step for when that happens? (Not if it happens, but when)

I think there's a lot that was missed because I didn't grow up in Black coded culture.

I've really appreciated some of the breakdowns some have posted.

For example, I knew about Serena and Wimbledon and Drake, but didn't know all the cultural references made by Samuel L. Jackson.

Hey look, my comment in action.

Splitting left wing coalitions is how right wing authoritarians have succeeded numerous times throughout history.
