Josh’s post is worth reading in its entirety. The points:

1) kill the filibuster
2) court reform
3) DC/PR statehood
4) clean up laws on presidential power
5) outlaw extreme gerrymandering

These strike me as a really good starting point of foundational necessities.

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders. After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

The only path to a real opposition party is through a cleansing primary season. We have spent a year trying to convince the Democratic Party to unify and fight back — but at some point, you’ve got to either change your leaders’ minds or change your leaders. And the time for changing minds is over.

i don't think people really understand how insane a democrat winning NJ-07 **ON THE STATE LEVEL** is

under these lines, NJ-07 went to the GOP candidate by double digits for every single governor's election for the past few decades (including 2017 and 2021)

and sherrill straight up WON it

how they just voted would not make the slighest dent in the excitment a credible challenger for Warner, Hick, or Reed would get immediately. and the right person could take Booker.

DHS takes credit for crime being down in Chicago. Data shows that was happening before they arrived. Immigration officials on Tuesday said a drop in crime numbers was thanks to their work. Police data show the decrease was taking place before federal agents arrived in the city.

Trump is a liar. Tear gassing kids in peaceful neighborhoods makes no one safer.

He cannot steal credit from our violence prevention and law enforcement efforts that have reduced crime for four years straight — long before his masked agents showed up. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

another huge win

better things are possible

With the added bonus of further radicalizing rank and file Democratic voters and prompting folks across the entire party coalition to condemn the cave in a single fiery voice.

Dems *are* unified...against the Senate caucus. That's worth something imo.

things take time to percolate but truly the weirdest shit keeps percolating and resonating. I interviewed a super normie at no kings last time and he had a sign joking about being antifa and the number one thing he was mad about off the top of his head was venezuelan boat strikes

Hey guys since Utah is on a lot of people’s minds today I created a fundraising link to help the Utah House Dems, Senate Dems, and Salt Lake Dem County Party. I’ll be updating this later next year to include the battleground candidates

Some do it to "both sides," but others do it to deny GVH fans space to search fan art.

I tried finding GVH fanfics on AO3, and it's hundreds of SG fics tagged as GVH, and I can't filter out the SG tag because it's not an official tag.

Zeteo founder Mehdi Hasan asked El-Sayed how he would respond if and when he faces questions on the campaign trail about whether he supports Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state. El-Sayed initially responded by calling the question hypocritical and again dodged when pressed. He said that most U.S. presidents have expressed support for a two-state solution, and “Israel exists. Palestine doesn’t. And so I always wonder why nobody asks me why Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist.” El-Sayed accused the U.S. of supporting “the very people in Israel who want to foreclose on the possibility of Palestine existing.” “And so to me, frankly, it is about our principles and how we apply them evenly. If you believe in a two-state solution, then what are you doing to make it possible?” he continued.

“Israel exists. Palestine doesn’t. And so I always wonder why nobody asks me why Palestine doesn’t have a right to exist.” - Abdul el-Sayed, candidate for Senate in Michigan.

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

I think Schumer has to go because the trust just ain’t there, honestly. Like, whatever your opinions on the respective matters, the Israel/Palestine thing followed by the Mamdani thing followed by this one right after another… We need someone who can unite the party somehow. IDK who that’d be.

there are a lot of Dems out there who are finally drafting their own dog to play basketball after being dunked on over and over again instead of just complaining to the refs

The anti-woke crowd are like that one child on the playground. When asked to share, they throw a tantrum. And when someone gets something of their own, that kid will steal it for themself.

Nope, you got it in one. And far too many big furry artists are fans of the "parody."
