The issue (for me at least) is that they have an enormous communication network that they use.. not to organize protests or lead discussion or bring us to together in communities, but instead to beg us for another $5. And another. And another. The core of the party is clearly a fundraising machine that has no purpose other than to support itself, using the rhetoric of the left but not the spirit.

@petergleick I feel the exact same way. The 2026 Senate race in Texas is going to be a difficult one.

I'm uninspired: https://www.terryvirts.com/

I hate when I go to a candidate site and they don't say anything about their positions. Like am i supposed to vote for you because you went to space?

@petergleick For what it is worth, I received the following in my inbox. No request for money at all, although surely it is needed.

Dear Dems,
Stop asking. No more money. None. Until you get your act together and respond with the fire and fury and action the times demand.

An iPhone app called ICEBlock, which allows anyone to lawfully and anonymously report ICE sightings and get notified about nearby ICE agents, went viral overnight after criticism from the US Attorney General.

FYI: The app doesn't collect or store user data. (I checked by doing a network traffic analysis of the app.)

The Trump administration has accomplished something that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and other dictators desired. It destroyed the Voice of America.
