Scoop: DNC officials working on secret report found Gaza stance cost Harris votes The DNC's research on what went wrong in 2024 has been under lock and key since party leaders decided to hide it from the public.

Top Democratic officials who worked on the party's still-secret autopsy of the 2024 election concluded that Kamala Harris lost significant support because of the Biden administration's approach to the war in Gaza, Axios has learned.

@atunshei.bsky.social - "Checkmate, Lincolnites!" or any of his videos are great for leftist American history lessons. Also great movies.

@pillarofgarbage.bsky.social - great media analysis all around

@fdsignifier.bsky.social - Black Leftist theory, hip hop history, media analysis, the works

How are you supposed to explain to people how this entire social, political, and economic reality is entirely downstream from anime getting banned on some dipshit's forum 25ish years ago

This sucks. Oddnon was a real gem. While sick, while suffering, they were always there for creators; fundraising, encouraging, sharing, and apparently listening and holding space and consoling and yet more than I knew. The Oddnon I did know was a welcome brightness at premieres. One I will miss.

You either live in a democracy, in which case you, as citizens, are responsible for the actions of your democratically elected leaders...or you have no choice in who gets elected, in which case you don't live in a democracy and you should definitely do something about that.

The world is sick of hearing 350 million Americans say they're helpless and nothing is their fault
