I use my feed as a sort of historical repository of what's been going on, rather than how most people use social media. I'm only *kind of* like this IRL.

Klein is right that Dems have to win in red states and that the party should be engaging in some soul-searching right now.

But the soul-searching should begin with basic facts. Moderation *is* the current strategy and Dems are losing despite having a popular agenda. More of the same won't fix it.

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

My only exposure to Ween is Bananas 'n' Blow from Bonnaroo 20+ years ago. So obviously I'm in favor of them. But I guess I need to dig into their oeuvre some more...

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

same way they oppose abortion but say "my body my choice" about vaccination.

its not about a coherent ideology. its just about owning the libs. if you try to make it make sense youll go mad.

Bee Gutjahr @beegutjahr.bsky.social · 3d

Yet, even though they vehemently don't want SNAP - they are still blaming the Dems for halting a program they desperately want discontinued. Make it make sense.

1. On October 23, Trump pardoned CZ, the founder of Bianance. CZ had pled guilty to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws. His conduct, according ot the DOJ "allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers.”

A week later, Trump is getting his payback.

UPDATE: Trump’s crypto pardon delivers immediate payback

The 1919 was part of a larger one for a hiking group, for the record. (One nazi tat is enough to say “nope, dismissed” anyway though.)

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

"you go to London now and it is largely Muslim"

these are two very racist people on a very racist television show on a very racist cable channel being very racist in hopes that there are enough very racist people watching to empower their very racist agenda

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Re: LOTR, I highly recommend the extended versions. The Hobbit extended too, while you’re at it, if you’re into that sort of thing. (LOTR >>>>> Hobbit, but if you’ve got the time you might as well…)

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
