If I created a BlueSky account
attacking only Republicans or
attacking only Democrats,
I'd get tens of thousands of followers pretty quickly.

But instead of that silly game
I talk seriously about issues and policy,
and that's not popular.

That's what's wrong with our world.
OpenAI bringing out their own browser proves what I said two years ago--ChatGPT is just a glorified search engine.

Meet the new Boss.
Same as the old Boss.
"We won’t win by trying to out-Reform Reform, but by building a broad progressive consensus."
Okay, now that you’ve complained (appropriately) about it, what do you think we should DO about it?

The Democratic Party Establishment didn't resist the Project 2025-Trump regime when they could have stopped them. No, they waited to "resist" when it could most advance the Project 2025-Trump agenda.
About the Chuck Schumer Corporate Democrats handing Project 2025 and Mike Johnson a win.
As much as I respect @raskin.house.gov , he should be honest that the Democrats waiting to "stand up" to the GOP only until the moment they did enabled Johnson to not swear in Grijalva. Once again, the Democratic Party chooses to fundraise off of playing victims to fighting the right wing.
Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.
Courts are about laws. The Project 2025-Trump regime is not about laws.
Looks like a project from high school shop class.
The war ends when Russian troops are no longer in Ukraine.
I'm not saying anything new there, but that reality remains.
Why does Chip Roy even exist? 🤔
"Freedom should feel risky but also creative, as it forces us to build meaning in our world."
From one of my philosophy students. 👍
Sure, as long as you do both, and not act only childishly.
