A widely predicted victory for the far right in France has instead turned into a victory for the left *because people turned out in record numbers to vote.* Defeat is not inevitable and more progressive elected officials means more progressive policies.

I don’t know if @drfarls.bsky.social coined the term “Great Power Suicide” for his post about Russia’s standing in the context of its invasion of Ukraine, but it resonates in reference to more than just Russia.

We see a lot of family-style groups in the various residential intersections in the South Delridge/White Center area. I am curious about the law enforcement priorities in Seattle proper, because there doesn't seem to be much attention to it.

My mother had family on San Antonio at the time, and my father had and still has a brother in Austin, so it was relatively straightforward to board up the house and go.

The house I grew up in is a couple of blocks from South Bay Park on The Oso, so we were very close to the water. My parents and sister all have separate households not far from there now.

Dating myself: one of my childhood memories is evacuating to San Antonio for Allen; my limited recollection is that at the time 37 was a two lane road, and it took something like 12 or 14 hours.

Personally, I’d much rather pick the slightly addled friendly old man over the actively deranged addled old man who talks all the time about ushering in a bloody authoritarian reign of global terror. It makes me feel insane that this does not seem to be obvious to a lot of other people.

I have no idea the best path re Biden but I do know a solid week straight of “Biden Old” and “Rich Dems Worried” above-the-fold stories are *obscene* in the face of SCOTUS using the Constitution to wipe their asses purely in the service of reinstating a felon rapist as president. Crazy-making shit.

Not to be corny but I do think the ongoing aspiration to make America a pluralist democracy of equals is righteous, beautiful, and worth honoring, even if it has more often been the struggle of minorities & dissenters than the policy of the government. 🇺🇸

Suprise: unwashed fascist ghoul Matthew Walther - who wrote a column that the New York Times just published advising Americans not to vote - did in fact vote in 2020 and 2022. It’s time for us to stop tolerating these ratfucking liars.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.
