Shame the Washington Consulting Class has already gotten their hooks into Andy. He’s very much pitching a Biden 2: Electric Boogaloo presidency, which is what got us here in the first place.
If Andy wants to win, he’s gonna have to start talking about Accountability for the current Administration.

“See, I think by the time that we reach 2028, the country is going to be tired,” Beshear argued. “And they’re going to be so tired of what Trump has done, the idea of having a Democratic version of Trump is more than that — it’s exhausting.” www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Don’t fetishize opsec, but don’t be stupid.
Signal’s encryption is good. That encryption does not prevent people who aren’t friendly from listening to you when you don’t know who you’re talking to. Use common sense and don’t say anything to 1000 strangers you wouldn’t want read out loud by a right wing rag or in a court of law

Long before the term existed, Star Trek's heart was "woke" & even though that word has been hijacked & made a cudgel to insult, to ridicule & - at the toxic extremes of social media - to justify prejudice & racism, Star Trek's heart is strong & still beating for those listening

Kent State happened May 4, 1970. CSN&Y recorded “Ohio” on May 21, 1970 and it was in record stores a couple of weeks later in June. And this was when you had to book scarce studio time and press and distribute vinyl.

The leading cause of death by far among ICE officers is COVID-19.
How dangerous is it really to work for ICE?
According to ICE’s own data, none of its officers have been killed by an immigrant in the agency’s history.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Folks, we're 10 months out from the midterms and the path back from fascism is not just through the House and Senate, its through mayorships, city councils, state legislatures, and governor's mansions, too. A little money and effort can make a big difference down the ballot.
