Kaleb Horton was an incredible writer with each new piece appointment reading, but I personally was so inspired by his photography. I had an album of his photos saved on my phone that I’d use as inspiration when writing myself. I needed him to put out that book.

This “wait your turn” bullshit is the perfect example of why the Democratic Party is as unpopular as ever.

NEW: When Mallory McMorrow conveyed her plans to run for Senate, DSCC asked her to hold off, per 3 sources.
More calls, some staff level; same result.
Per one source: “It was, ‘Can you wait a little longer, can you wait?’”
McMorrow defied them and launched.

this is one of the problem with ideologies which rationalize the routine use of violence: you think you are attracting where violence is the means and the ideology is the ends. you are actually attracting people for whom the violence is the ends and the ideology is the means.
start a revolutionary group today and the guy who shot Charlie Kirk and the guy who shot those two random Israelis are going to be the first two guys to show up. twenty years later you will wonder why the secret police is full of psychos

sincerely, though, this actually does sum up the issue, which is that "intellectual diversity" is a code word for "willing to play along with Trumpist consolidation of power"
Most people on BlueSky are liberals, but a some of its most popular accounts are run by neoconservatives. Here’s why BlueSky has a big intellectual diversity problem.

Here's a question, has anybody in the Administration even offered the slightest legal pretext? No? THEN LEAD WITH THAT, DON'T INVENT ONE.
The U.S. military has blown up three boats in the Caribbean Sea in the past three weeks, killing 17 people. Each time, President Trump has claimed that the boats were carrying drugs to the U.S. Are the strikes legal? Listen to today's episode of "The Daily."

President Trump is claiming the power to shift maritime counterdrug efforts from law enforcement rules to wartime rules.
