The point here is to believe people when they tell you who they are. Gavin Newsom hangs out with Republicans because he likes hanging out with Republicans. This isn't 4-D chess. He wants to hang out with Ben Shapiro and Steve Bannon. When he says he agrees with them on things, it's because he does.

Y’all

A) It is utterly insane to think we can’t do better than this
B) This kind of shit is electoral death for many of the voters Dems most need to turn out, how about we learn something from 2024
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

One of the things about people showing up to protest for the first time, that many, many armchair theorists don't grasp, is the effect of seeing what happens with your own eyes, then seeing how media covers it, and what is said ABOUT YOU by media and political personalities/office holders.

In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.

The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.

Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

If enough writers and artists threaten to pull out over the inclusion of the theft machine, I'll bet you Comic-Con will
reverse course.
Comic-Con should be a celebration of illustrators, comic artists, writers and so on. Elevating the actual craftsmen and women who make the works that fans love!

Instead it opens the door to slop that can only exist due to the stolen work of those same creatives, to then displace creatives. Gross!

The late Scott Adams is best remembered by Tristan Farnon's "A COMEDY CRISIS," a hilariously filthy bendy-toy fumetti parody of Dilbert that made Adams so furious he tried to sue the little bendy giraffe. One of the high points of the 90's. Look up Leisuretown.com, you won't regret it.

The author of this is a fucking slimeball; his Baffler piece about an old employer required 3 corrections, I have serious questions as to his sympathies with the militia movement, & I believe far right trackers had him as a guest at some sort of militia convention? Remind me if that's familiar.

This is objectively untrue. Shutdown starts Jan 30. That doesn't change w/o Dem votes. Nor any non-reconciliation legislation. Also other kinds of obstruction and forcing votes.

The minority party is not completely powerless, esp. in the Senate. If they pretend to be, that is a choice, not reality.
They don't have any power to do anything. They have none. Zero. Zilch. Everything else is virtue signaling. It's futile gestures.

DHS says REAL ID, which DHS certifies, is too unreliable to confirm U.S. citizenship
It's the punch line to a bad joke that started 20 years ago when Congress passed the REAL ID Act.

A truth of modern... everything... is that "luxury" is conceptually fuckin' fake, but pushed by builders and manufacturers because it allows them to charge exponentially more for labor and materials that are only nominally more expensive (if that) than what building for mid-sized budgets would cost.

So, this should finally put to rest any delusions that there are decent people left in the US military who will stand up to illegal orders and protect democracy. The US military is now more likely to kill US citizens rather than help them. They are not our friends.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States
