It is September 15. Biden has declined to do 15 pushups for NYT. They are endorsing the abstract concept of Youth for President. Trump, just out of frame, is listing NYT columnists he intends to have Seal Team 6 assassinate

🙄 This is not the first time we've all been embarrassed for Tim Ryan and it certainly won't be the last.

It's nice to finally hear from someone who has done a lot of on-the-ground work in voter turnout in a swing state. That's a critical part of the process that many pundits totally ignore (probably because they've never lifted a single finger to get out the vote in their lives).

Great alternative to doomscrolling: writing letters to the editor of your local paper.
These can help pressure your congress members on issues you care about, and also help news outlets know what really matters to readers (Project 2025, SCOTUS corruption etc)

I am seeing people talk about it on all socials, and I'm seeing some of it from people and in spaces where I don't usually find a lot of "policy talk". It's getting regular folks to actually discuss policy, which is amazing, especially considering the mainstream media is all horse race.

I think the slogan "You paid $1400 for this decal" would adequately convey the contempt and unaccountability that we've come to expect from the NYPD.

I'm SDA, but in an unusually progressive community, so it won't go down well there. But it's gonna be a mix overall. Some will denounce it, some have gone MAGA and will ignore the implications, and others will just say it's a sign of end times so 🤷

That must be hilarious. "Uhhhh, insiders say Biden, um President Biden, well, some of them are .... concerned ... they're afraid he's not as ... they think he might not be as quick. On his feet. As, um, well as he used to, once was, before."

Agreed. The mainstream just plain refuses to acknowledge a huge amount of groundwork that progressive activists do, both in advancing good legislation and in getting out the vote. The left is constantly being judged by some annoying online people rather than the folks doing the work in real life.

It isn't about "defending Biden' - it's about understanding that pushing your current POTUS nominee off the ballot, going through a divisive process of selecting new candidate, getting that person on all ballots, and persuading low-info voters to embrace new nominee in 4 months is suicidal.

Just left a round of phone messages for my electeds asking them to get their people in order and stop acting like inept clowns with all the leaks, gossip, and hysteria four effing months before the election because some op-eds made them nervous. Some message discipline, please!

Why do we need op-eds asking Trump to step down? Imagine a person not into politics, an undecided, scrolling the last few days and occasionally seeing articles about Biden stepping down. But none about Trump. They're gonna think, 'Hunh, Biden must've done something really bad.' That's a problem.

Obviously, we've already known since last year, but Haaretz has confirmed earlier reporting by Electronic Intifada on Israel's use of the Hannibal Directive.
This admission deals a heavy blow to American and Israeli propaganda. 🔻🇵🇸

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

Yes, totally. And I could almost understand it if the target voters were MAGAs, who are obsessed with the appearance of strength (or their version of it). But it's the undecided votes we're after, and their votes will likely be based on a range of factors, including a preexisting distaste for Trump.
