When Jews become Nazis, they start parroting old racial antisemitic beliefs about the pathologically diseased Jewish body, but turning them onto themselves.

Governor Pritzker and Lt. Governor Stratton enter the House Floor.

I love my country.

I refuse to stop. The hope I have found in a very difficult year is that love is the light that gets you through a long night.

Ooo.
If I hadn't purchased his hardcover editions of SiP I would be all over the Omnibus.

So we are losing the game because they invested in AI and NFTs? Womp Womp.

If a progressive wins the primary, vote Democratic in November.

If a moderate wins the primary, vote Democratic in November.

If a socialist wins the primary, vote Democratic in November.

Really. Vote for any D over any R.

Remember when people got hella fucking pissed when they couldn't vote in the 2016 primaries and blamed "The DNC" for it and not the fact that they weren't registered Democrats and they were trying to vote in a closer primary?
Good times.

The idea that the Chamber of Commerce is "left-wing" is beyond insane. It is completely disconnected from reality. Chamber of Commerce was to the right of Reagan.

CBS spokesperson Phil Gonzales provided The Verge with the same statement claiming Colbert was not blocked from broadcasting the interview that was given to Variety and other outlets, but refused to attribute it by name per The Verge's background policy. Asked for a name, Gonzales wrote, "Respectfully, you don't need to use the statement. We will keep that in mind next time verge as us to reply [sic]."

Phil Gonzalez from CBS, welcome to the Verge’s background policy www.theverge.com/policy/88000...

In fairness, this has to be counterbalanced by the fact that Nader intentionally throwing the election to Bush also led to hundreds of thousands of dead people all over the world

you might be able to come up with a hypothetical D nominee/R nominee pairing where I’d prefer the R nominee if you just get to switch the names or something but there really aren’t any pairings that involve Vance or Trump on the R side and remotely realistic D nominees where I sit out or vote R

correct, “the Biden lane” is not about policy, it is about being the “I’m going to bring back normalcy and lower the temperature and achieve bipartisanship” candidate

nobody believes that anymore, a policy moderate could win but they need to promise fire and brimstone

This is the interview Donald Trump didn’t want you to see.

His FCC refused to air my interview with Stephen Colbert.

Trump is worried we’re about to flip Texas.

“And I say this through the night: Let us not forget there is hope.”

- Jesse Jackson, 1992 DNC speech, “You Do Not Stand Alone”.

Let me explain this like we’re five.

There are two elections. Two!

In the first one we pick who will be the Democratic leader. You can have any opinion about this one! Personally I’d like a progressive.

In the second one we decide between some Democrat, or MAGA. There is one acceptable answer.

Oh it's not a paradox at all.
Republicans hate non-white people, so the residents of Sunnyvale and Cupertino would never vote for a Republican.
But, just because people aren't white, doesn't mean that they aren't also hate filled bigots.
Thus: The middle portion of Santa Clara county.

Aka the story of dealing with that section of Silicon Valley. (Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Fremont, Northern San Jose)
Quite progressive and yet also impressively right wing.

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

Also, for Millennials and late Gen X, part of the reason why there weren't so many queers/trans folks when we were kids as opposed to today is that THEY WERE ALL DYING OF AIDS!!

I feel like we've all lost sight of the fact of the sheer magnitude of the failure of Putin's latest offensive, i.e. the one that began in 2024—mainly because it's been so baked into the day-to-day.

Far and away the least successful offensive we've seen in not just years, but decades.

An excuse!

the thing with Fetterman is that he was a pretty normie lib, got severe brain damage, and became a right winger. the takeaway seems pretty obvious to me

The promise was that by privatizing Judaism in a Protestant sense, Jews could become equal citizens and integrated into the polity. The fact that this failed to reduce racialized anti-Jewish bigotry is a big part of what led many Jews to define themselves as a national group and turn to nationalism.

I’ve never had it explained to me why so many people have a special rule when it comes to Israel to suddenly use emit terminology, when for every other nation we’d typically use terms like “ultra-nationalist” or “nativist” which has clearer definitions for most people.

A Jewish friend of mine in college dated an Asatru girl. At one point, she said to him “unlike you, I worship the old gods” and he said “the Torah was written a thousand five hundred years before the poetic edda, your gods are Johnny-come-latelies compared to ours” and she dumped him

The issue is that all of the other DC titles needed to pick up what it did. It means that there is a 2-3 year period when every DC book just grinds to a halt to deal with Identity Crisis/aftermath plots.

But also the timeline around that time is a bit hazy. Dark Empire really messes with things.
