In a few years when Alabama refuses to accept a Democratic president and 70% of its residents agree, this will be a funny post
I understand why a lot of white liberals are like, fuck the south, because they think about the people in power who are mostly white conservatives. But that is only because of Jim Crow, voter suppression, a lack of real funding for Dems there

Florida grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S.
Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

No, you can't undo the vote, but any 4 of Cassidy, Murk, Collins, Tillis and McConnell, or others, could demand RFK jrs resignation and say they will hold up any votes until he steps down. That's how you "live life forward!"

CASSIDY: You live life forward. Again, you just do. Let the day's own troubles be sufficient for the day.

If you are saying this and you think that the way to do it is to highlight a guy with a Nazi tattoo when we are arguing against the actual nazis in the federal government you are well and truly lost
In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.

The Trump admin is killing a Biden-era proposal that would have required airlines to pay passengers up to $775 in cashfor significant travel disruptions within carriers' control.

So they've gone from saying that we need progressive candidates to unlock the electorate who is disengaged with promise if a working class revolution to saying any Democrat can win, so we should look for more Tlaibs. I suppose that's learning
Want change? Work to get 80+ AOC/Ilhan Omar/Rashida Tlaibs in Congress.
No more Dems who say standing up to Trump doesn’t work. No more Dems who say we need to abandon trans people. No more Dems who say we went “too far left.”
Any Democrat can win in 2026. You can afford to be discerning.

"You have to be loyal to a dream country rather than to the one to which you wake up every morning. Unless such loyalty exists, the ideal has no chance of becoming actual.”
Andrew Jackson made reins out of human skin and committed genocide. Thomas Jefferson was also a child rapist. Jefferson, Washington, Madison, Monroe, and Jackson (among others) thought owning humans was cool. Richard Nixon and George W. Bush both have seven figures worth of deaths on their heads.

I believe that if the entirety of the leaders of liberal democracies stood up to Trump rhetorically like this, or even the milder Mark Carney during his campaign version, much harm would be avoided and their citizens would reward them. The EU is really failing

One of the parties in the 2024 election replaced its candidate with 100 days to go because he was occasionally having difficulty speaking publicly
Trump: "Christians and more, think of this, more than twice as likely foster care they'll adopt the general population. They adopt to it so easily. When they get out, they adopt to it like it's become second nature. It's amazing."

I think that there are three specific institutions (journalism, federal courts, and the Senate) where yes, there are certain ways they "work" that can explain decision making and you don't know the details if you aren't there, but that doesn't mean that people asking Qs are ignorant or bad faith.
"I'm a rando who prefers to believe that everything is a conspiracy and am happy to tell women that I know better than she does how their literal job works" That a news org makes an editorial decision you wouldn't (or I wouldn't) doesn't mean someone is killing a story on behalf of a powerful person
"I write for the New York Times, and I can assure you that we've never buried stories on behalf of powerful people, many of those powerful people being part of NYT management. We only publish what's fit to print, like Zohran's application to Columbia that was leaked by a white nationalist"
