Violet Blue"When you can buy your way out of any mistake, when you can fire anyone who disagrees with you, when your social circle consists entirely of people who need something from you, the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark."

A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆DeTrumpification is as necessary a project to the US as DeNazification was to Germany. Everything removed from everywhere, including every person in the Trump party from every elected or appointed position of public trust, with all appropriate investigations, charges, and trials.

Diligence JonesRemember that weird ass Politico poll last week asking folks what they thought about just throwing Black folks' votes under a bus?
A piece of anecdata:
Political consultant: [sharing tea after our zoom ended] So I was in a meeting last week and I need help processing it.
Me: I'm here.
Her: DNC consultants are telling candidates to avoid talking about Black voters having their representation snatched away.
Me: Shut the fuck up.
Her: Yep. The Dems only want folks to talk about the price of gas and affordability.
Me: Those fuckers. They don't want to win ever again, do they?
Her: Nope. I pressed the consultant. Maybe that's a bad strategy, maybe that's not the way to go. And you know what he said?
Me: What?
Her: He said, Look at me. Look at my billables. I'm doing fine.
Me: ASSHOLES.
That's the party, y'all.
That's the Blue Wave that's supposed to save us.
That poll doesnt look so weird now. It looks like a fucking test balloon.
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Mike Johnson thinks the Congressional salary is too low and he wants us to "have some sympathy." I'll give him the same advice he and other corrupt elites give working people suffering on $7.25/hour:
•Get a Second job at $7.25/hour
•Go to college with an 8% loan
•Stop buying avocado toast
•Split rent on a studio apt
•Move in w/your parents
•”Find something new”
•Make coffee at home
•Learn to code
Be Best!
Mastodon MigrationWe are falling so far behind. While our 'tech' industry makes an infinite variety of spyware, the rest of the world is building 400 kph trains.
It took Republicans:
•40 years but they gutted the EPA
•50 years but they repealed Roe v Wad
•60 years but they gutted the VRA
All three are wildly popular policies with the American people. Republicans don't care. Gutted them anyway. Point is, any Democrat running for office for anything short of revolutionary change to the status quo should just stay home. We need a political revolution, not centrist cowardice.
