Someone just asked me "but is political gain (vs Trump) worth seismic political risk?"

Allowing Trump to function as a lawless dictator without any pushback from Congress IS the seismic political risk here.

Chuck Schumer and the corporate Dems aren’t just not up for this fight, they have no intention whatsoever of doing anything that will actually address the material conditions that gave rise to fascism.

More people are waking up to this and that’s hopeful, but that recognition is everything.

"Democratic Party leaders like the Clintons, who have scorned Mamdani, have heaped praise on Dick Cheney. And they wonder why they poll worse than Trump…" -- Jeffrey St. Clair

Wyoming (population of fewer than 600k people) has just as many Senators as California (population of close to 40 million people). That seems like quite a lot of influence.

There is no such thing as "middle class." There are two classes: working class and capitalists. If you work for a paycheck, you're working class, no matter how big that paycheck is.

Since Standard Time is now the minority of the year, I suggest a change in names. What we currently call Daylight Saving Time should now be called Standard Time. What's now Standard Time would be called Daylight Wasting Time.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.
