First and foremost, I am not amused…
Coffee then kayaking. Ready to eat way across
world. Law adjacent 29 years. USMC once upon a time. Still getting my funk on. Suffers no fools.

Um…what fresh ungodly hell is this that my replacement iPhone is suggesting the estimated time remaining to restore a backup from iCloud to my new phone is 3 DAYS?!!!
Is this normal and to be expected? WTF

The Tea Party/MAGA movement that conquered and neutered the GOP will look like a purring newborn kitten compared to beast that the weak assed @democrats.org will be confronted with henceforth. Do NOT play politics with your base: we are smarter and angrier than you
How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Republicans thought they had a permanent hold over young men. They didn't.
Spanberger wins men 18-29 by 14%, Sherrill by 10%, and Mamdani by a stunning 40%.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)
It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

Not voting doesn’t say anything to the people who win, who will treat 2-1 the same way as millions if only 3 people show up. It’s not a betrayal of the candidates. It’s a betrayal of everyone who can’t vote. ::gestures at children who will be subjected to the worst of climate change::
People should boycott whatever election they want for whatever reason they want and they should never feel forced to vote for someone they don't believe should be their ruler.

Brainstorm for me here
In hotel room next to airport. 5:31 am. Still pitch dark. Heavy road traffic. I’m listening to a rooster rostering over and over and over again.
Why and how?

Calling bullshit on Joe Scarborough claiming that he never heard racism growing up in the Deep South. Bullshit. I grew up there too and same age range. Racism was rampant. Antisemitism was rampant. Misogyny was rampant. Open and rampant. He’s full of shit

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos."
