I continue to maintain that the fact that Graham Platner was on track to win before the Nazi tattoo broke should be all the encouragement someone needs to try primarying Hickenlooper or Reed or Warner
until it turned out that he had a Nazi tattoo it sure looked like the Epic Labor Populist route was on track to succeed...via winning a Democratic primary and then a general election in a light-blue state

I interviewed Aftyn Behn, who is running in a special election in TN7 — if you know anyone in the district, please remind them to vote for Aftyn.

She has a real shot to flip the congressional seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

the interesting thing is that Dems actually do have a track record of trying to correct for what they think the errors of the last admin were

so it’s very important that the next standard bearer believes that error was “not going hard enough on Trump” rather than “centrism was failed”
The thing is that Doing What Must Be Done is genuinely really hard and requires extraordinary political will! Biden tried to at least make a stab at it, but fell way short.

There's SO much inertia in favor of "ignore it and hope it goes away"

"I'm going to tax the everloving shit out of the rich people who made your life miserable and put every masked thug who broke the law or traitor who wrecked the government for their own profit in prison" I admit is too long for a sign, but at the very least this should be the spirit of the thing.
No value, no villain, no vision. Sounds like the tagline for the earnings call of a collapsing appliance retailer

Let me give some insight on this, as a producer in the dub industry who worked with major streamers, who's witnessed first-hand where this push for AI is coming from.

tl;dr: Only CEOs want this. Tell them how much you hate it. Be loud, email, call, @, post. You will kill this.

🧵⬇️
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

We should Glonzo this
Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.

In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.

Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.

Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

among many reasons to hope Behn wins it will be so funny if the Democrat representing the reddest district of anyone in the caucus is a 35-year-old pro-Palestinian leftist who previously ran with a DSA endorsement

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

She’s a veteran, consistently stands against ICE with our community, and is one of 2 National Guardsmen in IL standing up to the Trump administration.
