Star Trek Voyager scene. Holy hell, okay, so we're in a lush green forest on a planet. Chakotay is in close with another dude. They're in camouflage and look like they're roughing it, looking sweaty and dirty. There's two shots, first is Chakotay looking hard at other guy, and second shot is other guy looking hard back at Chakotay. It's like that thing where two boxers stand nose to nose and get all 'bruh, you wanna go?' with each other before a fight. Closed caption reads, "I was told to drill you, Chakotay, but it's you who've drilled me--"

TRANSITION CO-CHAIR LINA KHAN!?!?!??!

Shotgun shells fulla human teeth.

i hate how we get into these situations and everyone acts like Plattner or whoever is the only person running in opposition to the old guard? David Hogg's got a whole org doing that!! we don't have to fall victim to the sunk cost fallacy, just pivot to someone, anyone, elsewhere.

why are we treating these things as if they're mutually exclusive? I'd hazard that most middle class are working class because, as classes, they describe two different aspects of your work.

if a plane was going down, I wouldn't want to vote on what to do or entertain the opinions of those that think the plane is not on fire. i would want someone to land the fucking plane.

we don't live in a century that can tolerate incrementalism. climate change will kill us if the tech oligarchs don't do it first. this weird glossy-eyed democratic sycophancy does not meet the moment, it just makes you feel good till the contradictions eat you alive.

we are quite literally here due to an "imperfect democracy", one that was co-opted and taken to task by outside forces again and again, first neoliberal capital and now maga reactionaries born of christian nationalism. perfect democracy or nothing, and an imperfect democracy won't get us there.

You can tell how serious Pritzker is about opposing Trump's goon squads. These guys all work for him and instead of having them arrest the ICE guys who are doing all the stuff he says he hates, or even just telling them not to show up and support them, this is happening

"Make cities better" may be the best direction for climate action in these grim times. 80% of Americans live in urban areas. Creating neighborhoods with reliable, frequent public transit, protected active transit, and dense, affordable housing could make US cities *so much better to live in* while..

"comedy is tragedy + time" wrong. comedy is when you sing a well known song but make the lyrics gay. suck my fucking peeeenis white boy and so on

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.
