This sort of asinine nonsense is why I find it difficult to take anonymous comments thrice-removed about how he stumbled on a word during a meeting as anything worthwhile. There is no sense of proportion, no awareness of what might be normal and what is anomalous. It’s all vibes, nothing is real.

It's depressing and infuriating how long we've had to pretend that Bibi is some sort of Great Man of History, rather than an obvious criminal whose every move is determined entirely by his short-term interests, with zero regard for anyone else on Earth.

Bibi is pretty clearly now actively working to prevent a hostage/ceasefire deal. The man is a deranged lunatic who belongs in jail. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-jul...

"look at how the elections in France turned out! you need to vote in November!" Yes, we agree that a parliamentary semi-presidential system with multiple parties provides opportunities that are not available in the US thanks to the Electoral College and FTTP voting. Your point being?

Goddammit before you start another goddamn rant about the goddamn presidential vote in any goddamn direction PLEASE remember the fucking Electoral College renders 95% of any such discourse absolutely meaningless.

As long as we keep our eyes on the prize, I'm fairly confident that everything else will sort itself in due time

Drove into New Hampshire today, and immediately saw a “Democrats Will Protect Your Reproductive Rights” billboard with an American flag and a bald eagle on it, from the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC). Excellent work. More of that please.

France dropkicked a baldly fascist political coalition out of office, imo if we can’t manage to do the same we should give back the Statue of Liberty

The power of Nope keeps these assholes out of city councils, library boards, and school boards. The power of Nope stacks Attorneys General. The power of Nope shifts judges, sherriffs, congress reps, senators. and the power of Nope can be used to keep them on target between elections.

And arguably what I am enjoying most is that this is not the hero theory of history. We’re not seeing a charismatic leader carry the election through rhetoric and force of personality. We’re seeing populations say: nope. I like the power of nope.

I am enjoying this week a lot.

To be clear: a coalition of the Left — the socialists — and the Greens were able to block the far Right in France. And there is a lesson here for the US: voters across the West want the neoliberal experiment to end. We CAN and we MUST end it to save the future & improve people's wellbeing to boot!

I mean, are we forgetting what Dean told us in 2004 and what Obama told us in 2008? WE have the power and WE are the change we are looking for. It's always been up to us. The "Both sides!"/"Voting doesn't work!" crowds are all about making us powerless. F#@k 'em.

I really don’t think most people realize just how hard the boot will come down if Trump and the Republicans win the election. Most people have never experienced the totalitarian surveillance state with the power to reach into their homes and minds at will they are telling us is their plan.

Once more, with feeling: Sitting out the vote isn't some noble moral choice. It never is.

I know the latest NZ election outcome was less than good, but jesus.

“Although the Biden admin seems to have run extremely well for 3.5 years, with a strong cabinet, few scandals, a thriving economy & major legislative accomplishments, the punditocracy has suggested we should ignore this record & decide on the basis of the 90-minute debate” @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

I fear in some ways that, if we are unable to repel the growing tide of fascism, it will not be due as much to a failing of politicians. Or of the electorate and activists. Rather, I fear we shall be doomed by a segment of journalists intent on selling papers rather than the republic.

I wish Democrats would understand that it doesn’t matter how much the oil companies bribe you, if you support fast tracking clean energy you’ll get popular support AND get a brand new and less-regulated energy industry to bribe you.

And the fact that the piece didn't even mention that northern Idaho has been regarded as a haven for neo-Nazis and white supremacists since the Aryan Nations set up shop there in the 1970s is just a gobsmacking omission.

I know they get rolled all the time but for the Times to get rolled by “actually they just want to reclaim the values of Western civilization as they see it … with larger families and fewer immigrants” is the Times putting the 14 words in the paper

I have a strange affection for Dark Heresy and its spin offs. Something about Call of Cthulhu IN SPACE! does it for me in a way that a lot of …IN SPACE! things don't. So naturally I'm working on rewriting the system. Again.

Just like none of the bold investigators backfilling Joe Biden's feeble debate performance with punchy anonymous quotes have ever figured out why Trump was rushed to Walter Reed, claimed he wanted a spur-of-the-moment weekend checkup, and a year later declared that he had NOT had a series of strokes

"Executive Time" fell out of the coverage of Donald Trump in the most incredible way. Nobody writing about his quest to become president again ever mentions the fact that he hated the job when he had it and he couldn't and wouldn't really do it!

I am almost too exhausted to scream, "I told you so." Almost.

After Ryan Grim's recent "COVID vaccine damage" episode of Deconstructed I am convinced they're all going to end up here. I hope Scahill makes it out but I don't have that much faith.

and then somehow for whatever surely unrelated reason she was absolutely pilloried in a million different articles for being mean to poor dear sweet innocent Sarah Huckabee Sanders and forced to apologize even though nothing she said about her was untrue or even THAT harsh

Just a reminder that Michelle Wolf nailed it at the White House Correspondents Dinner. NYT, I’m looking in your direction especially.

Some of y'all need to eat grass. Not just touch it, eat it. I know you can't digest it. I think it would be good to spend a couple days in the bathroom wondering why you're like this.
