Really disappointed & surprised to see this unscientific & unkind take from you, @jamellebouie.net. COVID is still dangerous: it can cause organ- & immune system damage. New damning studies—that aren’t reported by the media—come out regularly.

As an officer of a local party where about 70 of our 280 committee seats are filled, I cannot reiterate enough that the party is a creation of the people whose hands are on it. In too many places there aren't enough hands, or those hands are complacent or bitter. But they could be yours instead.

"What about AIPAC money? You take AIPAC money, don't you?"

"A minuscule percentage of my resources come from..."

It's fascinating to me that some airport authorities recognize that the stupid fucking video from Noem is a violation of the Hatch Act, and some airport authorities just, well, don't.

Some airports around the country are saying they won’t play a video with a message from Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in which she blames Democrats for the federal government shutdown and its impacts on operations to screen travelers.

by this time next year, we want ICE agent to be one of the most miserable, soul destroying, hated jobs in america, we want parking enforcement to look like a dream job by comparison

the thing is, all that knock off amazon operator gear you bought to look tough and scary just looks fucking silly when you are being gyrated at by someone wearing an inflatable frog costume and being mooned by a naked bagpiper on a unicycle, it just doesn’t work, the self image cannot hold

It should not be understated how much clever shit like this actually annihilates morale at places like ICE/CBP.

Getting made fun of like this on national television while people laugh at you is.. well, you may call it victory wine, but it ain't.

"I think the Democratic base feels like there is a disconnect. We hear you, when you did your 25-hour speech, I was like go Cory, I love this, that is amazing.

And then there's a photo shoot with you with Benjamin Netanyahu, and I was just like, what in the actual fuck? It was heartbreaking."

Booker, just answer the damn question. The fact that he made it about a Dem-circular-firing-squad means he didn't have a good answer and didn't want to defend it. What a fucking coward.

In some communities Facebook is the best community organizing tool. People who are used to Facebook aren't going to migrate to Discord or Signal without a ton of hand-holding. I'm in a FB group with some 300+ progressive activists in my small town. Believe it or not I do not have all their emails.

This must be because the DSCC just formed a fundraising committee with Mills, co-led by FUCKING ADAM SCHIFF.

IHIP host to Sen Booker: "What do you have to say about the capitulation that you participated in?"

Booker's response was basically, "stop attacking me, Dems are always engaging in a circular firing squad"

IHIP host, not having it: "That is such bullshit."
