I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really

The status quo delivered us to this moment of fascist acceleration. As Democratic elites in Washington keep proving, they have nothing to offer but behavior that abets and fosters more of the same. Their trajectory is as fixed as the right's.

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.

I appreciate the legal reporters explaining the likely reasoning behind the SNAP ruling but also rube goldberg-ing our way to maybe possibly giving food to hungry kids is pretty damning in itself

"For procedural reasons Justice Jackson had to issue the stay, I'm sure her legal reasoning was sound...."

PEOPLE. ARE. STARVING. Can they eat the rules of procedure? No? THEN FEED THEM.

The purpose of a system is what it does. And if the rules of procedure allow people to starve, they're wrong.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Begging people to understand how big of a deal a net 40-point shift against Israel among your base within two years is for the Democratic Party
Only about one-third of likely Georgia Democratic primary voters believe supporting Israel is in the U.S. national interest. It’s the latest sign of a widening internal rift more than two years after the start of the Israel-Hamas war. #gapol

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.
