It's not that I have executive dysfunction. It's that I don't have an executive at all. I'm an anarchist cooperative made largely of mice and other assorted rodents

Mamdani: "There are 12 days remaining until Election Day. I will be a Muslim man in NYC each of those 12 days and every day that follows after that. I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I am proud to call my own."

Screenshot of live video feed from the end of Mamdani's press conference. Mamdani stands before microphone in dark suit and tie, lips pursed, with heartfelt expression.

In August the Energy Dept sent a mass still interested letter to FOIA requesters, basically making it much easier to close out a bunch of old requests.

Obviously I filled a FOIA request about it.

Energy just told me I have 3 days to narrow my request or they are closing it.

Lolol uh no.

The Dems are a party *of* ratfucks in which he was one of the closest things to sanity. He was never perfect and he's obviously gone now, but he's hardly central to the corporate void that is the DNC. He's a sideshow. If you want to go after Dems on podcasts, Newsom is the big target. L

So a 'call' is when people are vocally advocating for something, and 'renewed' means they're doing it again.

When I was a teenager I had simplistic political ideas like "having a 'democracy' with One Big Man at the top is nonsense". I then grew, and spent much of my life grappling with the nuances of political philosophy.

It turns out, coherent politics is not actually that deep. Only the nonsense is.

It should be, tbf. The only good President is an impotent President. It's such a stupid office.

Or as if we have no more trust for corporate Democrats' perspective on "good things" than we do Republicans'...genocide, police brutality, the literal erosion of the rule of law.....

This mentality baked dysfunction into America for generations. Disregarding the Constitution and norms whenever morally convenient is a central flaw of the nation and its history, all the way back to the original disregard for all men being created equal and endowed with inalienable rights.

Getting rid of the architects of the present disaster is just a little more pressing than retiring an old man who's finally lost his game

Economy remained fucked, and he tried to lie about it because it was slightly less fucked than when he took over. He abused Harris' loyalty, worked with the DNC to deny a platform to the successor we were promised, clung to power while losing his faculties, and doomed us to a second Trump term.

He abandoned international law, he actively assisted a genocide, he pretended the pandemic was over and withdrew resources, he increased ICE's budget and kept children in cages, he abandoned Afghanistan, he abandoned the LGBTQ community, he praised police brutality and removed civic freedoms.....

🔴The Reform Backlash: Caerphilly By-Election Result Shows Nigel Farage’s Party Is Much Weaker Than It Looks

Despite widespread media predictions of a Reform victory on Thursday, Farage’s defeat shows his party continues to be overestimated, argues @adambienkov.bsky.social

That's not a grammatically comprehensible question.

Because he appears to have little in the way of an interior world and actively ignores the little he does.

Are Vance and Miller really going to let Trump fuck up the place they'll be hiding once the shit really hits the fan? Or is this them using Trump's expected recklessness to cover for deepening that bunker? You could fit a lot under that ballroom...

I assume flying a drone over the White House is like hacking a federal agency; there's folks who could do it, less so get away with it. Who's going to risk being sentenced for treason by this regime for a few photos?

He can meet an oncoming train, otherwise don't bother printing a damn thing about the clown

It isn't a debate, it's rape.

This is unforgivable, but his critique of Harris's objectively horrendous campaign and platform remains valid. We can throw him out right after we've defenestrated the entire DNC in-crowd.
