He represents everything wrong w the Democratic Party.

"Let me tell you something else about the character of God. If necessary, God would raise up a tyrant--a man who might not have the best ethics--to protect the freedom and the interests of the ethical and the godly." - Rev. James Robison (1982)

The physical abuse was extreme (though made for a great splash page) but Ollie's angry response as a father was-sadly- very human.

War is profitable to the wealthy and there are a lot of wealthy people in the halls of congress.

Netanyahu declared that the "combined effort with the United States enables us to do what I have long hoped to do for 40 years — to decisively strike the terror regime [in Iran]".

I’m utterly uninterested in “debates” about whether AI can do things well. I wouldn’t care if it could. 1. It stole from me. 2. I prefer me having my job to a computer having it. 3. I don’t teach “with” Lockheed or Raytheon; why wld I teach with Anthropic or OpenAI?

7 out of 10 Americans did not support attacking Iran. Are you seeing their voices reflected in the news coverage much?

N-n-ned? Is that you?

I predict this man has a very bright future.

She's in the right party.

Tulsi Gabbard: "A war with Iran would make the war in Iraq look like a cakewalk. The devastation and the costs would be far greater than anything we've ever experienced before."

America literally refuses to learn any lessons from its many foreign policy disasters in the Middle East.

It's actually remarkable.

The same stable of neocon warhawks, Christian nationalists, and Islamophobes - who exist within "liberal" circles as well - still parrot the same talking points.

I'm shocked.

Here’s another piece from 1978, inspired by Wally Wood as well as the Frazetta Buck Rogers covers from the 50s

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Cult of "manly men"

The challenges we now face must be met by a bold progressive populist movement that strengthens democracy and shakes up the system.

We can’t simply return to the path we were on before Trump.

We cannot accept the status quo of billionaires and Big Money dominating our politics and economy.

These dogs are having the time of their lives following this week's historic blizzard in the Northeast. Please enjoy. 14/10 for all

Baseball-wise, it's hard to beat ole "Table for One" but Steve Carlton was a huge disappointment when he started talking again.

Meanwhile, authoritarians gain more and more traction because the liberal system, minus reforms, leaves people hurting, frustrated, and increasingly more disillusioned."

Liberals are lashed to the systems that have served them and, therefore, they can’t imagine them changing. This is why so many liberals don’t really worry about reform.

@jysexton.bsky.social summarized how we got here in 1 succinct paragraph-

I haven't read the whole article (and I won't 'cause David Brooks) but, from these snippets, he seems to be calling out the Never-trump/always Neocons, many of whom have seemed happier now that trump is invading countries for their resources.

I know about Plaskett from the Virgin Islands-- who were the other Dems? I've been poking around and can't find them ...

Divide and conquer is not just a trite truism. Solidarity is the only tool to save multicultural democracy and too many groups are unfortunately now learning this the hard way.
