This is why I am not the Democrat.

New Orleans church’s proposed settlement with abuse survivors lays out ‘point’ system Archdiocese has proposed a system based on type of abuse suffered by victims as part of its ongoing bankruptcy case

“Claims that a Catholic church employee raped them will be worth twice as much money to abuse survivors as having a priest masturbate in front of them, four times more than if a cleric touched them under their clothes and seven times more than being shown pornography...”

Or deliberate in its bad faith.

Absolutely. For a variety of reasons, this is a personal favorite.

Maybe it's just me but the mouse doesn't seem all that happy at the end.

Is that Natalie Portman?

A dog with enough talent could theoretically hang 20.

My man.

Full list of senators who voted to block Israel arms deal Senator Bernie Sanders' resolutions to block arms sales to Israel garnered record support from Democrats.

We are pleased to note that New Mexico's two senators, @lujan.senate.gov and @heinrich.senate.gov, were on the right side of this vote.

‘Self-termination is most likely’: the history and future of societal collapse An epic analysis of 5,000 years of civilisation argues that a global collapse is coming unless inequality is vanquished

“Collapse isn’t just caused by structures, but also people. If you want to save the world then the first step is to stop destroying it. In other words: don’t be a dick. Don’t work for big tech, arms manufacturers, or the fossil fuel industry.”

I was there and Senator Sedillo Lopez was amazing.

George Washington warned of a political structure in which allegiance was to party rather than country. His warning was ignored in its day but speaks precisely to the situation in which we find ourselves today.

I was always in awe of Joe Cocker but at the end of his life he'd reached a level that was breathtaking. What a voice.

Maybe it just me but I believe that when people make a courageous and significant move in the right direction, it's more productive to simply voice your appreciation than to dump on them for what they didn't do two years ago.

At least they're arguing in good faith, right?

Today’s ruling in the Abrego Garcia case is important to upholding the rule of law against a lawless president.

It’s clear Trump would rather deport him to a third country without regard for his due process rights than argue the case in court — but it just doesn't work that way:

That is definitely how I remember it.

The weird this is NOT that #Epstein is getting so much coverage right now. The really weird thing is that it it got so very little coverage in 2007 and beyond. What world would we be living in today if we learned then what we are just beginning to learn right now?

The standard for truth with this regime is whatever Stephen Miller can say with a straight face.

No way to know for sure but I'm hoping for whichever outcome is worst for Trump.

This is just my personal political fantasy but I like to imagine that the next meeting between @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social goes something like this...
