  • The continuing resolution had to be approved by the house before it went to the Senate. Hakeem Jeffries was certainly involved.

    I’ve never been more disappointed in all my life

    Except for when I learned it that both of my parents were malignant, narcissist and neurologically, incapable of perceiving the concept of “love”, but at least they had the good sense not to run for public office.

    You may call that bias, I just say that it’s further motivation to support a pluralistic and equitable democracy








  • Several satirists, including Stephen Colbert, and John Stewart, and John Oliver have all commented that they are very tired of hearing the whole “the Republicans are in power, so your job must be much easier!”

    They are all, quite vociferously, against this. Each one of them has individually, and commonly, claimed that, “no, it doesn’t make it easier at all. The jokes may be funnier, but we all still have to live through this shit.” they are insist that they hate this as much as everyone else does. They’re just trying to make the best of it.

    They are people too.




  • I’m sure that all of the important people who would never consider us such a thing have suddenly started considering such a thing.

    Shit, Hakeem Jefferies was my District Rep, and I voted for him at least twice because of how “standup“ he was to anything else. But seeing him fall a suit with Schumer and capitulate to the worst of things that must be vocally and outright resisted at all costs Has really changed my view of progressive politics. And I thought I was way more progressive than most. I blame “establishment” Dems like Schumer for ruining his message.

    As a New Yorker, I have attended several Bernie rallies (form 2015-today) and have met him on a handful of occasions. What a great guy! But our entire democracy cannot rest on a single 80-something year-old, no matter how fucking amazing he is (and he IS great!). The entire Democratic Party should be aligned with him, but, sadly, like the rest of our entire government, nobody is aligned with anything other than self-preservation (at best) or self-enrichment (at worst). Except for a tiny few. AOC is part of that best group, and as long as I can draw breath, I will push hard for her and those of similar positions, and show up for protests against anything other than the progressiveness that this country absolutely must adopt in order to survive a larger and global order, especially as the logic global order, itself, it’s to survive.

    Democracy, freedom, and equity. Anyone who supports anything different is an enemy of everyone.
