Never forget that when conservatives couldn't win in a democracy they didn't abandon conservatism; they abandoned democracy.
Bush v. Gore was an unambitious declaration of war by Republicans against democracy and the rule of law. Republicans made clear they didn't view those principles merely as malleable concepts they could cynically bend; no, they see those principles as fundamentally incompatible with conservatism.
As one of those Democratic attorneys who was camped out in West Palm Beach - taking depositions from inconsolable grandmas swearing they hadn’t voted for Buchanan, I still have trauma. 🥺

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves

Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars

Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

Maybe age 8: my friend Jimmy was leaving after a really fun afternoon and I yelled for him to wait. He and our parents turned. I had nothing planned and just started singing "Here Comes Jimmy Claus." The adults all started laughing SO HARD! I wish I'd taken it as a reward, I'd be a different person

it's interesting because right wingers won't shut up about triggering the libs, liberal tears, etc etc but on a deep level what they want isn't for us to be angry, what they want is for us to apologize and admit they were right all along
Like 30% of the country is absolutely enraged because they thought they were going to be able to be utter shitbirds without anyone being allowed to call them shitbirds, but here we are, calling them shitbirds.

A lawyer I know is trying to help an abuse victim client relocate to get away from their abusive ex. They have an infant child and they're really struggling due to SNAP being cut. Would be really cool if you're in a position to help a stranger out.

Yesterday morning I was making coffee when the garbage truck flew up to the end of the driveway about 3 hours later than usual. The guy jumped down, tossed the lid off our can, grabbed the bag with both gloved hands, and tore the top of it right off. Trash flew everywhere.

These 20 House Democrats just joined Republicans in voting to fully repeal DC's police reform laws.

Wiping off the books critical laws on use of force, transparency, and preventing violent cops from getting rehired.

They think that they should have more say over DC police than the people of DC.

My wife made me an omelet this morning despite being treated for a bladder infection! She was so careful to prepare sterile food for me, without any infectious splatter from urinating near the food preparation. I love my wife, who makes a mean Western omelet and is on a robust course of antibiotics!

If you ask 100 random people for $5 you might end up with $5. Ask 5 people for $100 you'll get nothing.

This is not deep. But I wanted to record it for my next "we need to fund raise during a recession" conversation. I think it could be persuasive if off the cuff, not as a post though

You can't whine if you are doing political organizing. It sounds dumb.

Note: this is not a callout of anyone I know! It is a stranger, whining in the meeting

𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺: Trump stuns in perfectly choreographed "Single Ladies" dance… with surprise guest Beyoncé!

𝗩𝗲𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁: Mostly False

Trump was largely off beat and missed several pose cues. The performance was typical of an unathletic man of 79 under the daily stress of being the world's most famous pedophile.
