Counterpoint:

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh. A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable.

Seven hours. All children.

the candidate whose early elimination was the pretext that Minnesota Democrats used to nullify Omar Fateh’s endorsement strongly opposes the move

server asked the neighboring table, “how are those drinks? delicious, right?” and the subsequent convo about the ingredients has included the phrase “an homage to indigenous materials” and it’s challenging some of my abolitionist priors

There is absolutely no arrangement, no social situation, no single human thing you could invent that a dog person could not shittify and turn a thousand times worse by inventing some way to make their stupid fucking dog the center of it in some way.

What’s especially bleak about this is that nostalgia has become a longing for the crisis’s beginning, not its absence.

Democrats are far more threatened by leftists trying to take over their Party than by leftists who argue we must immediately build independent workers party or give up on electoral politics. I get why people want to do both but if you want to terrorize these people, primary them.

Eric Adams raised the rent for 1 million NYC households 4 years in a row

I do not think people are giving sufficient consideration to a very funny and entirely possible outcome: that we genuinely are in for an exhausting interregnum period of failure one-term presidencies, and that Gavin Newsom therefore wins.

As I’ve said umpteen times, this is the only extract from 1984 that could conceivably be seen as the future.

It says everything about the state of our leadership and values that Samantha Power, who won a Pulitzer for her book on genocide and developed a doctrine on the moral responsibility to intervene, has nothing to say about Gaza.

I still expect to see her pontificating for years to come at Aspen and Davos, received as an expert. Burying her head in the sand through what should be her moment to lead won’t cost anything. The US remains and will remain suspended in the same cognitive dissonance.

I think Taylor Swift really loves Travis Kelce. I had no idea who he was or what his thing was before he won the Super Bowl and said something along the lines of “y’all know how we do! DAAAYYYMN!!!” If it was a sham industry thing, she’d force him to stop doing that

Breakfast Club host Charlamagne says of Hakeem Jeffries: "I call him AIPAC Shakur." "I just don't think he stands for anything."

Charlemagne siccing Hakeem Jeffries with AIPAC Shakur could be a death blow

Democrats are going to flip a Trump +11 state Senate seat in Iowa tonight, by a wide margin, continuing a streak of special election over-performances in the Hawkeye State. At the current margin it would be a 19 point swing toward Democrats.

this is perhaps the most devastatingly clever mean nickname I've ever heard. legitimately took my breath away

sometimes a picture of a new little guy will keep you going for days, if not weeks

You can tell always Reuters is dropping depraved reporting when they remove the names from the byline
