To be fair, 92% of these men haven't left their mother's basement except to grab the uber eats they ordered with mom's amex, as their dads are most likely in the basement with them.

Sanford grandfather, born in refugee camp, nabbed by ICE after 70 years in U.S. Paul Bojerski never gained official residency, but he checked in regularly with ICE for years. Then in July, at age 79, he was detained and sent to Alligator Alcatraz.

79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.

He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Point of order: the DNC has literally zero power over senators and house members, or anyone really outside of state parties and dnc members.

Blame the senators, blame Schumer, hell, blame Maine forest gnomes, all have more influence over electeds than the dnc.

You know you can choose the screencaps so that both Miller and Gov Sherill don't look like they spent the night drinking in the quarter, right?

Know what will define satisfaction with life? Having actual relationships with people.

But research! Research tells us to annoy the f*ck out of voters with creepy stalker mail, tell people what we want, and not understand humans!!

And also Validates @mcuban.bsky.social who was screaming that we need a better approach to crypto regulation that acknowledges where people are without shaming them. People are engaged with crypto as there really is no way for them to engage with the true upside of finance.

One of the persistent myths out there is that young guys who buy crypto love the unregulated, unpoliced state of the market. There's zero evidence for it. Most young men want crypto to be more regulated, and don't like Trump's corrupting influence on it.

Hey Democrats! Maybe we should also sue CBS for the edited interview, for a bajillion $, and then use that money for Medicare for all when they settle as we take over congress.

Interesting data from a YouGov report on character choices in videogames. Those who say women characters in a game make them less interested in that game are pretty clearly a vocal minority. Most gamers are fine-to-positive on having the option.

We need to run away from the idea that voters give any f*cks about policy.

Every Dem I work with is like, we need an 18 point policy plan to address every interest groups concern. And the reality is that no one reads it. People care about resonance.
