Dems will have to get over the idea that they can run anybody BUT a "win the war and pick up the pieces" type candidate. Whoever shows up with the most comprehensive, unflinching plan to close ranks back with workers, restore the US Constitution, and throw the fascists into jail will be the nominee.

Elon's little serfs are quite literally begging journalists to come back because every publicly available source of data shows people have fled the platform and young people won't use it.
They are literally begging regular people to come back. Don't do it! It is a website by and for actual Nazis!

Even horrific, antisemitic, terroristic violence like today’s in Australia means nothing to the State of Israel except an excuse to smear Palestinians and those who stand up for their right to exist. What a sociopathic response. No individual or government should respect it or consider it legitimate

The death of Humphrey's is going to be another huge shock, provided the Trump Admin is still in a place to make the most of it when the axe finally falls. It'll be just like what's happened at the CDC, but in the other areas of the economy that the state most quietly and most beneficially regulates

As much as I don’t trust Netflix and want to preserve the cinema experience, I even more don’t want a cabal of techno fascists to control a huge additional swath of our cultural and journalistic landscape for eternity. Which is exactly what a Paramount takeover, the only alternative, would be.

Just to put it plainly, we should all utterly reject any notion that an immigration 'crackdown' is needed, desirable, or remotely acceptable. This is a fascist government doing terrible violence to vulnerable people. There is no median location between the society we all deserve, and eliminationism.

100% this. Any politics on twitter are self-invalidating. If you expect me to take you seriously while you are letting Elon Musk control your brain you are tripping absolute sack

Senate Democrats need to understand that it will be all-out war on them, by multiple segments of the party base, if they blink first.
Primary candidates should start announcing this week. Tomorrow, if possible.

The arrogance of Schumer and Gillibrand both, after what NYC did this week, to lead the charge back to compliance and surrender — it’s breathtaking. We must make absolutely certain that each of their current terms is their last.
After the public blamed the GOP and Trump, and after the Dem blowout on Tuesday, Schumer is surrendering and, in the process, the Dems will be blamed for not caving earlier and having the country go through all this.

This: "some of his advantages seem unlikely to transfer much beyond New York’s peculiar and left-leaning politics." Arggh.
Was Z's victory built on the work we've done in NYC to build power? Yes, of course. But could that work be done elsewhere? Yes, of course. And in many places, it has been.

“I am ready to fight for you and lower your cost of living,” Blake writes, “while Ritchie fights for a genocide.”

Not to over-meta stuff, but the redistricting fight is a glaring example of how so much Republican strategy revolves around assuming Democrats won’t fight back. They truly didn’t fathom that California and certainly now Virginia will retaliate, and they have realized immediately they are now fucked.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.
