In a stunning upset, Democrats Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard unseated Republican incumbents Tim Echols and Fitz Johnson by record margins β installing Democrats on Georgiaβs Public Service Commission for the first time in more than 20 years.
The GOP is now responsible for untold deaths, a possible worldwide economic collapse, and allowing a mad false king to retain power. They. Own. It. *Do not play nice!* They all get chased out of DC with pitchforks, honestly. Charged with high crimes and misdemeanors.
By trying to.pksu nice, "work across the aisle," they just gave cover to fascists for Project 2025.
Make them all own it. They own the war, the economic mess, the loss of rights - all of it. They. Own. It.
Stop trying to be the good guys and play pattycake.
If the Dems played hardball: they would have offered no succor to any GOP member who did not become an independent or Dem. Force the GOP to have the internal fight and split Repub/MAGA. Send the fascists into a splintered hinterland.
The GOP believes they will be rewarded for this illegal, immoral action. Why? How can we break this psychotic cycle?
The cruelty is the point. It is anti-human rights. But this carpet bombing in the Middle East is feeling increasingly like genocide. The purposeful destruction of people and culture.
And as long as the right sees the creation of refugees as a way to grab more power, they'll keep creating more refugees.
There is a vicious circle: rightwing groups create war refugees, then grab more power by being violently anti-immigrant. I've yet to see anyone solve for this doom loop of aggression and power consolidation.

It is absolutely insane that the US appears to have targeted desalination plants first β putting them onto the board. Iran seems to have already retaliated against one in Bahrain. This is one of the most obvious ways this could spiral.
MAHA coming for Dunkin' in New England was not the regional civil war I anticipated
Do. Not. Come. To. The. US. I don't care how much you love soccer/futbol. Stay safe. It is not worth coming here rn.
Actually those creepy people circles around Tr*mp? Let's do call those exorcisms

"Fair Market Value" lolz. Lies upon lies upon lies. Tantrummer in chief wants his police state NOW.
There is zero chance any of this is true. How do I know? Because fed funds flow slowly. DHS wants to move fast. So: there are emails with developers somewhere that basically say "what's your $$ number to sign this contract tomorrow with zero restrictions?" Time to FOIA.

Crow gift?
NEW βWeβre celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You canβt keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, itβs ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.β

this is what it feels like to post on bluesky
Let's maybe not call people who think women should have no rights "traditional." Perhaps "anti-equality" is a more accurate frame

When you are looking for it, it is amazing how often news sources owned by zillionaires try to make normal people upset about things that mainly (or only) affect other zillionaires.

The ability to give a rousing speech is not the only metric for leadership, but it is one we overvalue, culturally. So perhaps lean into that more? I think when we veer too much into the squishy "likability" chats we miss that what people are responding to is story.
Why did people like Bill Clinton? Great communicator. Why do people like Michelle Obama and Oprah? Great communicators. JFK? Great communicator.
I increasingly think that the American public equates leadership with communication. Reagan wrecked people's lives but he could tell a story! Obamas: great communicators, both.
In the absence of a great communicator, people will gravitate to a Tr*mp, who uses sales language to manipulate.
