Every true poster on this site probably has the capability to take over their local chapter of the dem party, and i know this because posters already ate the republicans from the local level up

from my WIFL interview with @jdandeneau.bsky.social

I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

RIGHT, back when "binders full of women" could be a mild scandal!

He also said "The trees are the right height" one time when he was talking about a place that felt like home, and I quote that all the time. Such a succinct way of expressing it.

Glad he lost, but he wasn't *waves hands* these guys.

That's right. We are going to win. It's just going to take longer than we hoped a year ago.

They're gonna break upon us, chat.

Ohhh, of course, yes. What an incredibly useful thing. I always wondered how they knew!

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Headline reads: Altman says ChatGPT will soon allow erotic for adult users.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

Anyway this is absolutely incredible science, like holy shit

We lost a friend this spring and the last photo a mutual friend who was by his bedside sent was of a helicopter lifting off carrying multiple organs to other people. It was so painful but it also helped. I don't know who they all are, but at least 5 people are doing better today because of him.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

sorry, i know it’s an annoying catch phrase, but that’s kind of the point:

THEY DO NOT BREAK US, THEY BREAK UPON US.

we win this together, there are far more of us than them, and we want it more than they do.

The DNC endorsed Mamdani months ago, as soon as he won his primary

So did the New York Democratic party

THE DNC AND ITS OFFICERS DO NOT ENDORSE IN PRIMARY ELECTIONS —PERIOD!

THE DNC IS NOT FOR— OR— AGAINST YOUR FAVORITE CANDIDATE. WE SUPPORT THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES CHOSEN BY VOTERS.

WE FOCUS ONLY ON BEATING REPUBLICANS SO GOVERNMENT WORKS FOR US.

THANKS FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

re: the flurry of “leave your phone at home for protests” advice, will just offer this—“…it’s important to take a step back and think about your specific threat context. Ask yourself: Do I actually have a reason to keep my presence at a given location a secret?”

Ask a security trainer: Is mobile device location tracking a real risk?

Yes, but before implementing steps to mitigate it, take a moment to ask: Who’s at risk, when does it matter, and what’s at stake?
