My political opinion is that direct action gets the goods, the rest is (at best) harm reduction.

A lot of liberal strategizing is based on the correct assumption that liberals won't hold their politicians accountable in meaningful ways as long as there is always a Greater Evil™ to worry about. If there were no Republican Party, the Dems would have to create one.

I disagree. Even Feinstein had plenty of advanced warning when she knew she should have retired. RBG certainly did.

If you criticize Biden's obvious mental decline, you are being ageist and ableist. You're also being racist and sexist because it's clear that you don't trust Kamala Harris to take over.

Biden does not need to drop out of the race now. He needed to drop out a year ago. Nobody in the caucus has the courage to speak the very plain truth. They'd rather lose 2024 than to risk the wrath of Blue MAGA and fuck their own career down the road

Mayor Karen Bass included an InfoWars host and known Islamophobe in her closed-door press conference alongside Jewish leaders in Los Angeles.

Mayor Bass made alarming false claims of "antisemitism" and asked the City Attorney to draft a law banning masks at protests. www.cair.com/press_releas...

It feels like poor political calculus on the DA's part — alienating the coalition that got him elected. And guranteeing that victims will now turn to the press to have their stories told rather than trusting the process — which is going to make Gascon look really bad.

Personally interviewed Gascon when he was running as a “progressive prosecutor” etc and it’s these constant little betrayals that ring out when people exhort us to engage the process and trust the system.

These days, I open BlueSky about once every two weeks, and within 60 seconds it feels like my timeline is full of people at each others' throats about something new ... erstwhile friends and allies fighting each other, so I just close the app and find something less stressful / corrosive for my mind

I'm not surprised, but this is bad politics on Gascon's part. Gascon was elected only with the help of a left-wing coalition, he remains extremely unpopular with the right and center-right, who have already tried to recall him. He's spitting in the face of his only supporters.
