As someone who actually read US history as opposed to the veggie tales version that we tell each other at holidays what is happening and is about to happen has a clear precedents in post-reconstruction America.

Democrats have no one to blame but themselves Trump appointees liter the government The Biden admin has adopted Trump policies whole cloth The party has been meek and fearful Part of me just wants to get it over with like a bad relationship

I am mostly posting for the sanity of my friends and family so they don’t have to listen to me but boy does this feel like a massive I told you so

This post debate media event reminds me of when George Lucas showed Episode 1 for the first time at the ranch and everyone realized it was bad and there was no way to fix it

Devastating. www.cbsnews.com/news/poll-de...

Probably a realistic map at this point

The second great Texas revolution succeeded All of America is becoming Texas

Darkly humorous that US is just reinventing the Venetian republic

I know I am screaming into the digital wind here but the Dems are bad If you are a Democratic voter or care about democratic policies or anything about making the country better I suggest you get MAD at the Dems and help primary them so they learn to make things actually better

The time for all of this was in 2023 Republican election officials will block any replacement on the ballot even if Biden were to die. So take your medicine

The Democratic Party is such a small c Conservative Party that no one was willing to challenge to old guy and go “hey Democrat partisans we have been burned too many times by old people not stepping aside. Vote for me is a vote for our ideals” Instead it was “nope get in line don’t rock the boat”

When bear discourse enters the Karen Read Trial This was after the lead investigator had to read a loud text messages he sent about the accused even calling her a c***

From my colleague Molly Redden: “Weeks before she struck down the federal mask mandate in spring 2022, U.S. District Judge Mizelle attended an all-expenses-paid retreat where a conservative group gave her a crash course in the niche legal theory propping up her opinion.”

Trump Judges Went On A Luxury Trip — And It Doomed A Major Biden Policywww.huffpost.com The April 2022 ruling included an unusual legal theory — and new disclosures seen by HuffPost shed some light.

Honestly looking at the Democratic reaction to Trump’s conviction makes me want to stop being a Democrat

Basically the Biden admin follows this line Thing happens They default to boiler plate stupid dem stuff Internet yells at them They clutch their pearls and claim to be super smart Situation deteriorates They do a baby step in right direction Polls don’t improve They throw up their hands

I love how being online is basically constant screaming at Dems to do shit while they confidently do nothing

The only people who've ever held Trump meaningfully accountable over the last nine years have been ordinary Americans and they've spent that entire time being lectured to and berated by elites who've failed to do anything.

I cannot believe the stupid timeline I live in

Unusually interesting scoop from Libertarian Convention - Trump's expected to say he'll commute Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht's life sentence, huge Libertarian demand here, really forced into convo by their pressure.

There is a weird article about the popularity of Game of Thrones in our culture and everyone took the wrong political lessons ICC prosecutor said today on CNN that a world leader told him "This court was built for Africa and thugs like Putin." They're just saying the quiet part loud now.

Saw a painting today.

My hot take is that Johnson only acquiesced to Ukraine spending bc he was debriefed of a pending collapse in the next 6 months. This was a bridge too far even for him. Now it’s hold the line and hope Biden wins so the “peace” won’t be as bad

When Russian troops attacked in northern Ukraine, Ukrainian territorials fled their trenches. Can you blame them?

The Argument, by Johann Hamza, late 19th century

Wife: “maybe you should go see a therapist?” Me: “I don’t need then when I can write angry screeds in Bluesky. Stare at them for five minutes and delete them.” Wife: “and that works?” Me: “Mental health has never been better!”

The systematic destruction of HISD should be more of a story, tbh. This is the Republican plan for all public education.

She was principal of the year in 2023. A year later, she said HISD forced her to resignwww.khou.com Amanda Wingard was the principal at Neff Elementary in the Sharpstown area where she'd worked for 21 years. She attended Neff as a child and returned as a teacher.
