They prefer to go down dead ends, because the alternative could possibly yield results. Dead ends make sense if they believe that results will only harm their position. It's not an inhuman behavior to lie to save your own skin, it is merely contemptible when it creates or sustains injustice.

It makes perfect sense if the party's intention is to be unproductive in its pursuit of the investigation.

I don't know, 'evil' seems like it's been the appropriate description for a decade now. Doesn't over or under sell it. They're bad people, and they do bad things for bad reasons. They're setting a new bar for contemptibilty. They're creating a karmic black hole.

How moonlight hits me. I am of many words, but I have none that can capture that... whatever it is.

Honestly, it must feel like such a relief when one of these villains says something halfway sane. I could understand why Bernie would want to celebrate a postage-stamp-sized sliver of common ground.

That said, they are still villains.

As an American, I can affirm that it's a pretty standard playbook by now. Literacy is the best inoculation against this tactic.

Democratic leaders have one job; stop SAVE from passing. Everything else will come down to you and I organizing. Get with your neighbors, plan to protect polling places from ICE and militias. Whistle when you see them, then film and don't let up.

They're going to *try*. I see a vision of friends and neighbors, posted up at polling places Minnesota-style, watching for ICE and Militias. Whistle when you see them, then film and don't let up. Voting is our right, organizing is how we keep it.

If I could render a magick upon you, it would be this; your hope emboldened, your joy sustained, and your eye for the world's ineffable beauties never to fade. 🫂

The word without the listener is just noise. Perhaps it is the listener that has changed.

Perhaps they have seen too much of the ugliness that sleeps in the human soul, the depravities and horrors that we are capable of.

She shines bright here. In the waxing gibbous, she seems like she is nestled into the evening sky as if it were a vast, oversized blanket.

The diplomat in me: The sentence is fine, you understood the meaning, just like it and move along.

The editor in me: They should have written *soullessness, cowardice, and moral bankruptcy*.

The apologist in me: I can't go anywhere with you guys.

Imagine believing that the SOtU had any non-negative educational value.

Well, I mean, you're the guy with a finance newsletter. But if I had to take a crack at the primary root cause, it'd be the decline of union membership. The minimum wage hasn't increased in 20 years, and wages as a percentage of gdp growth just keep getting lower.

Newsom<Harris<literally any progressive.

We need someone on board with M4A, campaign finance reform, SCOTUS expansion, and prosecute the villains, to name a few. We need an organizer, not someone who fundraises first and asks questions later.

Dispatches from MN: it's getting really hard, guys. The media has left, the donations are drying up, and ICE is still here kidnapping people. It's hard not to be resentful that other people have the option of setting this aside for.other things.

Cut to Musc's recent interview, where he said his vision for Twitter was to make it an image of the collective consciousness. When asked why that was important to him, he had no idea.

I guarantee you, most of them offset the hike 100% or more with price adjustments. Either they upped the price and ate the drop in demand, or kept the price and ate the tarrifs. They may have a case for loss of business, but consumers should be made whole first.

No company should be able to sue for tariff refunds unless it can prove that it did not raise prices on any products or services as a result of the tariffs. All other refunds should go directly to the public.

Drink on "like you wouldn't believe," "never seen before," or "any other president in our nation's history."

Newsom is the Musk of the left. Concerned always with cultural normativity and self-promotion, with an all-consuming, desperate need to be liked.

When we strongarm the DNC into nominating one of us, which, come to think of it, is exactly what happened in New York. Expect heavy resistance from people who think the U.S. needs only a right-wing corporate party and a moderate corporate party.

You want a Democrat to win the Democratic primary? If that is in fact what you meant, then I have wonderful news!
