Federal elections are not a path to liberation. Use them to push revolutionary ideals. Vote if you want to. But we must organize for the next steps.
Orban was returnd ed to
Power in 2010, has never left, and turned Hungary into an autocracy. Our choice was Harris or Trump. Your vote was not a vote for democracy. I don’t think Harris is perfect, but I am proud of my vote. It might be the last true one I ever get to cast in a federal election.

helps to think about the details like any regular crime you'd see on one of the 800 cop shows that run on TV constantly: these guys committed one set of murders, thought it over, and then decided to kill the witnesses as part of the coverup. mention of drugs is just jingling keys at this point

This is a trash song with trash lyrics and trash production that is the absolute worst thing ever to escape Bernie Taupin's head, it sounds like cocaine heavily cut with baby powder and expired laxative feels, if 80s pop music were the Hapsburgs, this song is Charles II of Spain.

“We Built This City” is a good song, actually www.pastemagazine.com/music/starsh... I never understood the hate for that song. There are truly terrible songs. This isn't one of them.

The entirety of the left/liberal friction in Democratic Party politics is summarized by how one looks at basically anything Hakeem Jeffries says and if your reaction is "Jesus fucking Christ we could do so much better than this" or "I like the way he's not Donald Trump"

I wonder if Cuellar simply payed for a pardon or there was handshake agreement to switch parties.
My guess is the latter. We’ll see

When a far right pundit on a CNN panel with me ‘joked’ about my beeper going off live on air & then got banned by CNN, Megyn Kelly had him on her show & they both laughed about it.
Yet here is Kelly getting super offended when someone else makes the beeper threat against her. Oh, the hypocrisy.
