I’m imagining the barista picking up the weirdo vibes (I’m sure they were obvious) and being like: Time to wear the crop top again.

A little unclear. Are you talking about the excitement around Mamdani here?
I ask b/c you seem frequently to be looking for “ways for the Left to be wrong.”

Big talk. Empty, of course.

(By the way, she said that b/c I’d been discussing with her how a certain ex of mine was flying apart at the seams emotionally and directing all her anger and depression at me.)

When you say “they,” I assume you mean your partner and not both your partner and their therapist.
The fact that you two are in asymmetrical situations mental health-wise doesn’t mean you can’t draw boundaries. As a prof of mine at Cornell said, “Too much stiff upper lip can kill you.”

I’ve also been wondering whether his advisors are manipulating what he sees and knows.
Incoming genre metaphor:
he’s the crippled Theoden and Stephen Miller is his Wormtongue.

Quite a useful fact to bring out, though, when some mindless nitwit dumps on Yoko Ono yet again.

And he’s got the nuclear codes…

Too late, Cuomo.
You silly jerk.

Oh lordy.

Beg pardon?

All I knew about Charlie Kirk before his death was that he was a right-wing personality. I'd never heard him speak until I saw the video from seconds before he was shot.
During which time, I thought: "Oh, he's Rush Limbaugh. Doing the 'entertaining blowhard' schtick. And that's... the whole story."

I suspect he’ll be forgotten due to the quick succession of new headlines that will come as long as this administration is in power.
Sowing chaos and distraction as your modus operandi only works up to a point, b/c it prevents people from hanging onto facts that you actually want them to hang onto.

Dropped cases against LA protesters reveal false claims from federal agents Revealed: records show border patrol gave inaccurate testimony about people it jailed. Prosecutors now face ‘embarrassing’ dismissals

This proves five things:

1. The protests in LA were peaceful
2. The National Guard and Marines were unnecessary
3. ICE officers lie
4. DHS stats on ICE agent assaults are overblown
5. You can not, in fact, indict a ham sandwich if you have no case

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.

Trump and Miller are intent on building an unaccountable domestic secret police force that would be the world's third-biggest security force by funding levels, after the US and China's *militaries*.

That kind of funding dwarfs its stated purpose, which tells you what its real purpose will be.

Part 3:

"Or do you believe that Franco was really good for the Spanish, or Mussolini for the Italians, or Hitler for the (‘Aryan’) Germans? You might also recall the important role played by the Ku Klux Klan in keeping the mass of white Southerners impoverished.”

Part 2:
“If you know any history at all, you know that, when nationalism approaches or reaches the level of fascism--not to mention genocidal fascism, as with Netanyahu's people--it tends to be very bad news for the people whom the nationalists claim to represent and exalt.”

Here’s Part 1 of a public post by a friend of mine on FB:
“As a Jew, I feel far more threatened by the government of Israel than by the government of Iran--or, for that matter, by any other government on the face of the earth.This is just obvious common sense.”

Glad you did, Jeremiah.

Just outstanding. Congratulations!

Beautiful little kitty.

Write that screenplay, Cheryl!

Right? “And now let’s hear what the ‘90s has to say…”

Thanks for that unifying message.

Who do you mean?

Movie title.

Which book?
