It’s interesting that the blame for Dems losing gets placed with progressives. There seems to be a deep fear of candidates within the dem party who voice progressive views (Mamdani?). What if dems actually addressed the issues affecting constituents instead of compromising on deeply held values 1st?

Klein’s not on the right track. He’s flailing because he can’t defend what he wrote, particularly when faced with someone (Coates) who’s cleareyed about what was wrong with it. Saying we might need to run a “pro life Democrat” in order to win in rural US is easy to say if your life isn’t on the line

Don’t know if yinz are seeing what’s going on in Chicago, but @wbez.org is documenting it with a map of ICE activity submitted by regular people. We need to expose what’s happening and create receipts. They can’t keep their masks on forever. interactive.wbez.org/uploader/en/

Submit your photo of ICE in Chicago | WBEZ

Help us track where ICE agents are being deployed in Chicago. If you see federal action, submit your photos — which will be vetted by our journalists for inclusion in a map.

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

PSA if you’re in PA and want the new COVID vax: it’s still easy to get. CVS had some button to click when you make your appt to say that you’re “eligible” (the reasons are like… physical inactivity and a bunch of stuff that could be any American) and that’s it. No further questions asked.

This is why it is important to keep speaking up about the science of vaccines and the need to make sure children are protected from preventable infectious diseases. Not all of it falls on deaf ears. Most parents are not anti-vaccine, those who are just louder.

Meanwhile there’s this. So disturbing. I would bet money that the majority of the people commenting on Aaron’s page and leaving comments on the restaurant don’t even live in Cinci or know anything about anyone involved.

Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.

About this Florida vaccine story:

When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.

We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.

“Oh, they’d have died.”

The median cost of putting one child through daycare for 5 years in the U.S. is $43,000. That masks much higher costs in many large cities. It’s nearly $150,000 (almost $30,000 for one year) in Arlington, VA. This is for one kid www.wsj.com/personal-fin...
