"to walk the road of peace, sometimes we need to be ready to climb the mountain of conflict"...

This mural slaps. Literally turned around so I could get a picture.

Imagine hiring one of the firms that decided they should bend the knee in one of these, you'd be better off with Jacoby & Meyers

driving around New Hampshire in a big bus that says, "Now is the time of monsters"

it'd be pretty sick tho if Buttigieg leaned into the Gramsci stuff

Labor Secretary Is a Rare Presence at Department in Turmoil

we made it through February tho

"Talarico confessed to making “morally compromised decisions” in a “dirty and noble” job. Democratic leaders, he said, had “routinely danced with the Devil”—from Bill Clinton’s mass incarceration and bank deregulation, to Obama’s mass deportations and drone strikes. “Our most progressive candidates still use the same violent and bullying rhetoric that we claim to be against,” he continued. “In a 20-minute interview last year, Sen. Elizabeth Warren used the word ‘fight’ once a minute. Our progressive leaders and activists use gun metaphors, war imagery, and dehumanizing language about our opponents all the time.” “Every time we return hate for hate, bullying for bullying, brutality for brutality, we all become less human,” he said. In his office, Talarico explained, staff were instructed “to avoid violent words or dehumanizing rhetoric”—including “fight, battle, or troll.” "

you see Talarico mentioned so often in the language of the moment—i.e. "fighters, not folders." But that itself is an interesting evolution from how he first distinguished himself in an earlier era of Democratic introspection. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

"“Happy Spring Break, Free Thinkers! I’m going to spend my week relaxing and reading ‘All The King’s Men’ by Robert Penn Warren,” Talarico wrote that April. “The book is about an idealistic politician who becomes greedy and corrupted by success. Comment on this post and let me know what you’re reading over Spring Break!”"

was sort of amazed this page was still up, but also fascinating to get a glimpse of someone who lives in the public eye, when they were still outside of it www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The Texas Senate primary is a battle for the Democratic Party's soul. James Talarico is a "choir boy." Jasmine Crockett is a "street fighter." Their race will set the tone for the midterms clash to come.

There is a very chill and low-stakes Senate primary this week! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

i think princeton should no longer be accredited

what this also means is you can just skip the 2002–2003 politics and go right to the 2006 politics: everything is their fault and no one likes it.

there's actually a very healthy-looking painting of him up in the attic somewhere

yeah there's some level of "cursed" that's not really about the spirit world, it's just about the queasiness in your soul. but, to each their own!

also just want to note that, yes, you are responsible for knowing who exactly you're retweeting for news and analysis, if you work in media and politics. you 100% have an obligation to check that and ask basic questions as to what their deal is and what promoting them entails.

encouraging anyone who posted a bet on a "predictions market" on Friday using inside information to come forward and absolutely use your real name

this is the way

spurs in the championship is going to be incredible

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

guy who refers to it as "cheddared cheese"

please stop saying the assassination of the supreme leader of iran is a distraction from something

Senator Mullin that guy died in 1989

war is just another word for the schools we choose to bomb together

betting about military strikes in something called a "predictions market" is just a level of cultural rot I did not know existed

yes, decades of war led to horrible suffering and none of the promised results. *but* it also broke our own country so badly that we apparently did it again. so who can say if it worked out or not.

you may know him from previous works such as "Gentle Singularity"

The Pitt would just not work if it were at a regular hospital. you need to be able to turn to the guy bleeding from the face and say "this 25-year-old shithead will be looking after you"
