This is basically every Dem state party chair, excepting the ones who are hopelessly corrupt and don't really care who wins in November

One of the biggest communications challenges I have as a politically-active socialist is trying to prevent Americans from associating "socialism" with "against democracy." So it's nice when Republicans simply decide to do my work for me.

Yeah it seems like "do a regional trip and use up a ton of PTO" and "pay $1000 for two 24-hour-long flights there and back" are the only options. Sucks! But it does look so awesome and I'm glad you're having fun.

Maybe those party bigwigs should have voted "uncommitted" like I did and they wouldn't find themselves in this mess. Instead, party leadership did their very best to ignore, dismiss and belittle voters who think genocide is disqualifying.

Using public data, ITT conservatively identified 573 extrajudicial killings of environmental activists in 10 hotspot countries from 2014-2024. Nearly half the killings show evidence of state involvement. All 10 countries receive substantial U.S. military training & aid.

Do not scold me about Joe Biden. Go talk to him. He is the president of the United States and I work at the store.

WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power. This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Trust Eric Adams to take an announcement of "we are gonna start doing an extremely obvious thing that nearly every other city in the world does, replacing our previous policy of building massive rat buffets on every streetcorner" and make it extremely weird. Nonetheless this is good news.

What this article leaves out is that if you hand your unlocked phone to a police officer, they can legally search it. Unless companies develop a method that allows you to show officers insurance cards and driver license without unlocking the rest of your phone, don't.

I wrote this in 2017, shortly after Macron's 1st win.

I said: Macron is so open about being hostile to Left, that it salvages a huge path for the broad left to be an alternative... if it manages to unite.

Few things I've ever written have aged so well.

Macron himself is inscrutable but many of his newly victorious deputies surely know they owe their victories to the left. I don't know why they wouldn't just form another minority government again.
