we're living through a generational, life-changing technological revolution and it's getting almost zero attention compared to AI spambots

D.N.C. Aims to Push Biden Toward Nomination Next Week, Despite Doubtswww.nytimes.com Leaders of the Democratic National Committee are aiming for a process that would formalize the nomination by the end of July, even as Democrats remain fiercely split over his candidacy.

This was agreed to back in May to deal with the fact that the convention is after the Ohio deadline and the GOP had made noise about him not being eligible for the ballot! What are we doing here!

This is the story they're linking to, which describes a plan to accelerate the confirmation of the nomination by holding the vote via video call by the end of July (imo, making a move like this to staunch the silly alternatives and just close off the discussion isn't a terrible move)

DNC to virtually nominate Biden and Harris to bypass Ohio ballot issuesabcnews.go.com The DNC will move to conduct virtual party proceedings to certify President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party nominees.

basically indistinguishable from a Klan rally but the media wants you to think it's Trump pivoting to the center after a Republican kid tried to cap him because that's the narrative they think will help Trump the most. bsky.app/profile/pbum...

Biden set to announce support for major Supreme Court changeswww.washingtonpost.com The president has discussed the plans with constitutional scholars and members of Congress in recent weeks.

Gee, I wonder what kind of things happen when people like AOC and Bernie are standing firm behind the candidate in the face of pressure and pushback from the more 'traditionalist' wing of the party.

Breaking news: President Biden is finalizing plans to endorse major changes to the Supreme Court in the coming weeks, including proposals for legislation to establish term limits for the justices and an enforceable ethics code, according to two people briefed on the plans.

I sincerely never thought he would get to this point and I am delighted to see it even if he cannot enact it himself this changes the conversation about what’s possible within the Democratic Party, which has been badly needed for years fantastic news

Going back to the core of the discourse, I find the "but they're not real Christians" argument disingenuous. 1.) They're part of the community. 2.) All Christians benefit from the oppressive systems of power they're leveraging, as well as the ones they build. We are accountable for our communities.

Column: The once-secretive right-wing ideology emerging as an overt threat to American democracywww.latimes.com A new documentary, 'Bad Faith,' explores the racist, reactionary movement driving the success of Donald Trump and being endorsed by the likes of Josh Hawley.

As always, it can be both! It’s not a masquerade

“Christian nationalism is a white supremacist political ideology masquerading as religion.”

The reason they keep quoting panicked donors in the "Biden is DOOOOMED" story is that the donors are all extremely online and watch cable news etc and so its just a feedback loop. You make a new story in the NYT out of the donors repeating shit they read in the NYT

anyway, all these splitters and backbiters are going to come home for the convention and we should all vote for them long enough to beat the fascists in the fall and then spend the next two years keeping their office voice mails at capacity

most extremely online people assume the marginal swing voter is someone like them except a little more moderate when the actual marginal swing voter is "guy who's mad at the president because he thinks the president appoints the commissioner of major league baseball"

I think a big mistake liberals make is constantly making up an imagined "normal voter" in their heads to triangulate their opinions around. NO! What do YOU THINK? What do THE PEOPLE YOU ACTUALLY KNOW BELIEVE?

let them crash into the wall and let their ships sink to the bottom of the ocean. let us watch the waves sing their eulogies. let us sing a song of freedom in every language spoken in this land. this land is ours, not theirs, and the future is ours, not theirs.

the party is not “them”. it’s us. no one can tell us that the party is not a brick wall of solidarity, only we can depress each other into that. but we do not have to do that. we are the party. we can define what that means.

we need more go hard, i am tired of the loserdom, if the party won’t do it for us, fuck them, we will do it ourselves. THEY WILL BREAK UPON US. WE WILL NOT BREAK BEFORE THEM.

honestly this goes pretty hard

THEY BREAK UPON US // THEY DO NOT BREAK US

this is what you tell everyone who thinks we are doomed and everyone who is scared and everyone who needs some hope THEY BREAK UPON US, THEY DO NOT BREAK US
