that show Death by Lightning is so damn good, Michael Shannon and Matthew Macfadyen kill it

(always had a soft spot for James Garfield, since he’s my great grandfather’s namesake)

If there's one thing the mainstream news media love to overlook, it's the impact of the mainstream news media. The petite Tea Party in all its elite-backed astroturfiness was hailed like a sacred comet; the historically huge No Kings was played down by the NY Times, among other publications.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

We're so far beyond dog whistles. They are just full-throatily screaming their racism and white supremacy every chance they get.

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

I get why it happens but goddamn do I wish anything could hit as hard on the timeline as something that sucks that everyone hates written by or about the worst person you know. I wish something good or interesting was able to get anywhere near the traction some shit that sucks does.

The 1st Cowboy Novel is thought to be Emma Ghent Curtis's The Administratrix (1889), about a schoolteacher who crossdresses as a cowboy in order to get revenge for her slain husband (a pro-suffrage cowboy). She pulls a Rooster Cogburn & dies in a hail of bullets like Pike Bishop:

re: Portnoy’s complaint

a hit dog will holler
Dems didn't brand "white dudes" as the "bad guy" as Portnoy suggests. We branded people who support a toxic, hate-filled convicted felon who abuses women and lies constantly about everything as the bad guys, and they just happen to be disproportionately white men.

This is a core element of conservative philosophy: If a single "undeserving" person is getting a government benefit, the answer is to take it away from millions.*

I’ve said this before, but a huge function of our carceral system is resource extraction from exploited communities, and that includes the fees, commissary, and essentials people send to their loved ones, not to mention the time, attention, energy, etc.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.

People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?
Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

why do we allow private equity in our society? it's obviously bad for everyone in the world except the people doing it. it should be illegal like fraud
Is this good? It doesn't seem good.

weird, Chuck used the word “fighting” when clearly he means “fundraising”

“We will keep fundraising.”

there, that’s better. now his statement makes sense
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

For the millions who will lose coverage
For people with cancer who won't get the care they need
For working families who can't afford to pay $25K more a year for healthcare

We will keep fighting

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
