He didn't change his mind on Trump; he changed his mind on Hitler.

JD Vance said Trump would be America's Hitler back in 2016. He's obviously changed his mind. I wonder what did it? Was it the storming of the US Capitol to try to stay in power? Was it the detention camps at which children were separated from their parents? Was it his criticism of "globalists?"

Biden has a good answer to "Will you take another neurological exam?" He says it's only the politicians, not the doctors, who want him to take another exam. He sees doctors at the White House regularly. If one of them suggests he needs an exam, he'll take it. The politicians you'll never satisfy.

Some of you are speaking from a place of believing nothing can change our lousy political process so we have to act like everything is great. Yes Biden is the best choice right now. Yes this is an existential crisis. Yes he has accomplished a lot.

I don't have a strong preference on Biden because of how much uncertainty there is, but seeing stuff like this cross my path is going to kill me. I'm begging people to learn how parties work. You can't Aaron Sorkin your way out of this.

They HATE that the thing that's produced our persistently booming economy is a tight labor market. They would rather have lower growth if it meant crushing workers because what they care about isn't money (especially if someone else is getting it) but power. Trump's Project 2025 confirms that

And you just fucking know it in your bones that the booming Biden economy will never be described as such - until Donald Trump is placed at the head of it.

It's not every day that senators ask the attorney general to appoint a special counsel to criminally investigate a sitting Supreme Court justice. What's more, the case against Clarence Thomas is quite credible. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Project 2025 is useful mostly in that a key problem Democratic campaigns have historically had is that when you tell people what Republicans actually want to do, they don’t believe you. The evil public list makes it a bit more concrete.

I used to make homemade food for my dogs as a mandatory activity for myself. Other food would make them feel bad, and it was too silly and embarrassing to explain to anyone else how to do it

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

But the idea behind this—that the robot can convey information—fundamentally misunderstands what is being taught in those core classes. You’re teaching people how to do problems: how to check your work, how to solve problem sets, how to generalize solving problem sets to other problems…

Sigh. If you type "suggestive bird names" for a joke Google AI suggests things like titmouse, goatsucker, and... the southern fuckbird... which definitely is not a thing.

and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

Who can you take in? Who can you shelter? Who can you care for? I'm not saying you have to run an underground railroad. I'm saying times are rough and are going to get rougher, and there is always someone more precarious than you. So who can you help? Aging parent? Extra teen? Friend? A new pet?
