I love to see a local business with its phone number on the sign with no area code. Real street cred right there. A pillar of the community.

It would be nice if elected Democrats start speaking up about the regime seeking to nullify the will of hundreds of thousands of voters in the city where masked armed agents did street executions in front of cameras

I'm going to jump gleefully into the discourse about the apparent need to prove written works are not AI: at last my idea is coming to fruition, it's time to film a reality show about writers. Just making tea, checking Bluesky, occasionally tapping things into a laptop or whatever.

The moral is, if you’re appointed Ambassador to Greece as an unqualified nepo hire, don’t try to do bonus grifts. The grift is being Ambassador to Greece. You are being paid to hang out in Greece for 4 years. Grift accomplished

NEW: The US theft of Venezuelan oil resources appears to bring the Pentagon its own source of money — something that should be understood as another milestone in the collapse of constitutional government.

It's not like the military is cash-starved from Congress. But it looks a lot like it's going to make money off Venezuelan oil

Ossoff is one of the very few people adequately channeling Evelyn Normielib these days
the base doesn't want to hear entreaties to our better natures, they don't want to go high while the other side goes low, they want someone to come on the TV and go "these people are garbage"
he's good at it

Figuring out why Ossoff is so effective is an interesting task.
I think he's mastering a kind of stern dignity that is uniquely compelling in contrast to the clownish cruelty of the other side.
I think the other person who's kind of hit on the same thing is AOC, though in a different register

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

It’s very simple and it’s been said over and over but I guess it needs saying continuously: if you deem one group too small to have equal rights you are enabling fascism, not fighting it. The people saying Dems are GREAT on trans rights are not paying attention and/or saying stuff like this.
