Joseph Fink, we're going to win

[whispering to Miller] He'll throw you to the wolves. You'll never get a pardon. It's now or never! [slithering over to Trump] He plots against you sire! Throwing him in the dungeon will send a message to the others!

when I say Dems, I'm not talking about posters, I'm talking about the party leadership

(Dude suddenly stops pushing his broom across the floor of the Death Star)

Does this look like a big laser to anyone else

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

A lot of Dems are going to take Bovino and Noem being fired as the finish line, and it's very important to make it clear to them that it is a starting line

so bari definitely got the heads up that noem is being shitcanned, right?

Their basic model of the world just doesn't have bravery and decency in it, and those things confuse and terrify them

There have been so many videos, including just today in Los Angeles, of ICE pigs openly threatening to execute protestors and every time the protestors just respond by yelling at them louder, and it clearly unnerves them so much

gee whiz it would be really great if the opposition party smelled blood in the water right now and went on a full offensive to harness this spark of momentum

if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

if you think it's stupid and inflammatory, consider that you are bad at thinking about what politics is and what it's for

yep, and I think it's probably worthwhile getting better at that! we all could improve at that!

I don't follow him and he seems like a bad poster, but I think maybe some of you need to take a second to consider whether "is he annoying" or "do I like him" are interesting or useful questions in a political movement

guys who get really mad about Will Stancil seem to care a lot

The kinds of guys who yell at Will Stancil handling this development very normally

Spooky coincidences of history: Robert Redford founded the Sundance Film Festival. But in the movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, he plays a character whose name is also Sundance!

They shouldn't allow videos of podcasts. That content should get taken down

Oh no he's smug and can only operate within the bounds of physical space do you even hear yourself

1/26: 10:15 a.m. CBP 🧊 cluster raids starting in Koreatown, Pico/Union, Salvadoran Corridor this morning.
ICE also in Riverside

it's kind of funny that Will Stancil turned out to be a better and more committed activist than all the internet leftists who yell at him. Maybe "posting good on a niche site" is not actually a useful rubric for judging someone's political commitments and worth as a person

btw big shout out to Hakeem Jeffries for having worse political instincts than John fucking Fetterman.

Fetterman fundamentally doesn't believe in anything, but he's also a coward and he can smell what's coming

rats that jump from the sinking ship are still rats, but at least the ship is sinking

Apologies for yet another Irish Revolution comparison: the Irish population was very much opposed to the Easter Rising in 1916 because downtown Dublin was destroyed for, seemingly, no purpose. Until the British executed James Connolly as he was dying of gangrene. He was strapped to a chair and shot.

this message to minneapolis from comedian zach woods is profane and also wonderful

A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

obviously it shouldn't have taken the killing of an All American, virtuous white guy in order to make even the most committed psychos start to panic, but it did, and now they're panicking.
