Any Democrat in these states who doesn’t lean on this hard shouldn’t be in office. It’s a gift.

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

Wow, it's weird how the media narrative of a far right populist wave keeps crashing against reality in every country that actually requires them to win a majority of votes to take power

The 2nd leading pollster projects a similar result—if anything a higher range for the Left coalition. This wld be a much stronger result than expected for the Macron bloc. If confirmed, key takeaway: Left & Macronist voters transferred onto each other much more than expected. Clear anti-RN front.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.

if there is one thing I want to come out of this election, regardless of result, it is Dems - and the left more generally - finally understanding that they need to make their own media ecosystem and stop relying on folks who want them to lose to get their message out

Yes, this. But also two weeks ago this outcome seemed unlikely. We have time. Not infinite time and our system is more unwieldy. But time.

Congrats to other country’s liberal coalitions for ever being able to get their shit in gear tell us what that’s like

I drive my pathfinder friend nuts because I rarely use a 5th level attribute boost to get halfway to +5. PFS only goes to level 12, so it's not like I'm gonna get a ton of use out of that +5 on classes that don't use DCs, I'd rather get a +1 to something else for seven levels.

Well France apparently just collabed between everyone else to kick a far right party out of the chance to take power, it can be done if enough people want it to be, folks

If y'all think I'm ever going to a convention again without a mask you are sorely mistaken. Not only is it protection from COVID, I have been Con Crud-free for years and I am not about to break that streak.

let's post some mask photos bc look at how much stuff i can still do aka in which masking did not stop me from having fun

He doesn’t even bother to disavow Project 2025’s aims, but the fact that they’re shying away from direct association with it demonstrates that it’s a vulnerability. If the press is looking for something new and substantive to report on, they could start with the dystopia that these folks want for us

Stephen Miller now following Trump's lead and saying he has nothing to do with Project 2025. 1. His organization is on the Project 2025 advisory board. 2. He recorded a video as part of Project 2025 training tools 3. You can see Mandate for Leadership, the Project 2025 publication in the background

Welp - just spent 2h carefully curating a climate science starter pack of 50 scientists who are regularly active here. Pushed the last button and got the message, "Failed to create a starter pack." Tried again a few times, then tried going back, went too far back, and now it's ALL GONE. Any advice?

1994, The Republican Revolution, when the DNC lost congress and a healthcare reform bill because the GOP claimed Clinton was hiring his 3rd cousin as a travel agent. 30 years later: DNC POTUS won't pardon his son and RNC POTUS who gave his family upper level cabinet positions. The news is silent.

All I want from the office spinoff is for the officers ladies podcast to exist in universe as Pam and Angela reviewing the documentary.
