We must achieve a more limited version of the same--convince the median voter--and some extra, just to be safe--that nothing MAGA can offer them is worth the cost it imposes, that they will not be able to enjoy peace, happiness, or safety under MAGA, but can live normally and win under Dems.

John August’s first script. Doug Liman’s third movie.
Went because Ralph Garman - then
just “Ralph the New Guy“ on KROQ - said it was good. And it is.

Honest question: is everyone using the Fantasia 2000 version of The Firebird?
Because I watched that a lot, and even allowing for “yeah it’s a classic there’s lots of performances….” it sure sounds like it to me.

You and I won’t be “coming together.” Not forward, not backward, not ever. Not in this lifetime or the next. Trump disgusts me. But what will echo long after his gilded circus collapses is the simple, unforgiving truth: he didn’t disgust you.

There is no significant voting by non-citizens. Therefore a new bundle of laws to stop that is dumb. Or worse. It’s voter suppression in a pretty package. IF ID is required, there must be guarantees that support will be provided to those who lack ID. And make Election Day a holiday.

Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

“our diversity is our strength” is literally our founding oath, just in fancy latin. we have it on our money. it’s just a group of very loud ten year old boys screaming no it’s not and we somehow let them have power. it’s a huge bummer.
Remember when "America has many groups of people in it and that's good and makes us strong" was an uncontroversial - even cliched - viewpoint that was universally endorsed across the political spectrum?
We can go back! We just have to get rid of the tiny handful of bitter, angry men in the way.

fellow engineers,
you really need to start asking yourself some questions when building something:
1. how will the police use what i'm making?
2. what kinds of people are the police going to use it against?
3. how many people will be harmed in silence before we find out?
