The Democratic leadership seems convinced that they’re doing the right things despite ample evidence they’re not. Someone comes along and tries to get them to realize they’re on the wrong track and their immediate reaction is to shut them down/out. There’s no self awareness. There’s no introspection. Democracy itself was on the ballot in 2024 and they acted like it was just a normal election. They’re still acting that way. They’re responsible for this mess, and until they realize it and get their collective shit together it’s only going to get worse.

Prelude to deploying the Army domestically and bypassing the Posse Comitatus Act.

This is actually an incentive to buy oil from Iran. Congratulations, Donny, you played yourself.

I ask myself this simple question: Are you making things better? I find meaning in helping others, and this is my guiding principle. I hope that when my time comes, I can say that I did make things better, that I did help others.

I can still remember when antisemitism only had one definition.

Is Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead only for women?

Jimi Hendrix’s version of All Along The Watchtower by Bob Dylan. It’s likely to be the only version of the song most people have ever heard.

But he didn’t shoot her, so there’s that.

Wait a week.

They’re not getting it. They haven’t been getting it for a long time. A shakeup at the top is long overdue.

On a service Putin isn’t on. Now he can claim he “tried”.

Ah, yes, X. The platform that reduces your visibility if you criticize Musk.
