This sent me down the rabbit hole but I’m glad it did. Cate McGregor writing for David Morrison.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

To be clear, I’m saying this is a nuanced issue and all (young) people’s perspectives need to be included.

The only thing more reliable than this administration’s lawlessness is your absolute inability to meet the moment. I would tell you to resign but you’ve proven yourself too stubbornly useless to do that either. Everyone else: primary this guy out of orbit.

Trans rights are human rights. Newsom and anyone else who disagrees, Democrat or Republican, can fuck all the way off.

You’re useless and (as usual) you’re ignoring the majority of the American people who want them gone. Resign.

This is it. Tonally a perfect match. No notes.

Primary Every Democrat It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”

If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Totally agree. Blue Jays fought like hell - hats off to them all. It was an amazing (and exhausting) game.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

I realize things have never been great but it does feel especially lately like the main job of many people is to not know things, in an age where every day we're all knowing more things we'd rather not know so that takes genuine effort

Hard not to read this as “she recently raised tens of millions of dollars and hired a few dozen people” as part of her dream.

In which case, yeah, so? I dreamed I flew a rocket made of cake.

This is how it’s done. If you won’t stand up ALL OF US - including specifically helping the most marginalized and powerless of us, you belong with the other side. Take note @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
