Thinking about how much of their violence has been normalized already, how scenes that caused shockwaves 6 weeks ago are now part of the rhythm of daily life. Watched a TikTok from a daughter who has to do her parents' laundry & get their groceries because they're in hiding. This is just it now

Wait if this had so much bipartisan support, is there a chance for a veto override? I'm not familiar with CA politics.

maybe this will help some realize that you don’t need access to cover the government effectively. in fact, it’s actually better.

You want them to fight the fucking fascists, right? That is not a course of action devoid of collateral damage. Would you rather he simply look the other way? Not show any empathy?

Ugh how gross!

This is getting uncomfortably close to anti-anti-trumpism.

Either you want democrats to take a stand or you don't. The fact that republicans have refused to concede on a very basic demand doesn't make it gross for Booker to speak to someone harmed by republican intransigence.

We lost sight of the idea politics is something that you do, not just electoralism or numbers fuckstein wonkism

The siren call of electoral strategy and analysis partially crowded out work on things like law, organizational resistance, and protest. I blame myself, too

I love it when my government violently implodes because a slim majority but just shy of a critical amount of the people running it want to immiserate the entire nation and butcher its people

I don’t spend a lot of time thinking about it (either out of self-preservation or the distractions inherent in our cursed information environment) but man:

It’s humiliating to live in the hegemon that built the current global order as a bunch of illiterate pissbabies smash it to pieces.

Biden is a disgrace, and his rise and fall are both emblematic of the complete moral, electoral, and geopolitical failure of the Democratic establishment. Full stop. Trump and the Republicans bear the most responsibility for the fall of the second republic, but that does not excuse Biden’s failure.

fact it didn’t fucking work. It didn’t work electorally, it didnt work geopolitically, it didn’t work for tens of thousands of dead palestinians

Its not like this shitshow is happening after a mere 9 months. January 2027 is right around the corner and we will be fine operating on a normal, proper, and legal timeline to retake control of the government.

Surely this can be sustained for another year until the midterm elections.
