spent years learning my ABCs and we never sang the fucking song in college even once :/
Strange how in high school students are taught to read literature by just focusing on the text and looking for formal elements (metaphor, irony, meter, etc)...but then in college they NEVER hear about any of that ever again, and instead are taught to read endless "theory", or secondary sources about the author's "political context," or simply to project present-day ideological obsessions onto the story (which they might as well just skim).

Hakeem Jeffries is asked if he will follow the lead of Sen Chris Van Hollen and others who’ve demanded the upcoming spending bill end the Iran war or else the government shuts down.
He says: "We're going to end the war in Iran one way or the other, but with respect to the Appropriations Process, right now, that's in the hands of Rosa DeLauro on the House side, and Patty Murray on the Senate side"
Jeffries feeling absolutely no pressure to end this war, clearly very confident he’ll become Speaker regardless.
it is so important to ppl like lis that you don't have guaranteed health care in america. not a relatable impulse for me but seems like an almost religious dedication for ppl like her

i know we all “know” it but sometimes it really hits you that evil little gremlins like this never actually die, admit defeat or disappear and they will be around for the entire rest of your life trying their hardest every single day to make life worse for everyone who isn’t rich

The children in al-Marajim love these puppies so much. That’s exactly why the settlers are stealing them.

It’s weird to argue that Schumer and Jeffries should be credited with the midterm wave BUT NOT with the 2024 Trump MAGA wave that they also oversaw as caucus leaders. Pick one.
lol soul like khan isn't tunecore-friendly either so seeking another distro platform that isnt being sued rn

The stubbornness of Biden helped re-elect Trump in 24. Joe wanted to go out on his terms. Now we’re supposed to just sit and watch Schumer become Maj Leader for his “Swan Song?” he’s proven ill-suited for the moment. How about leaders put something above pride?
Let’s break this down logically.
Schumer knows these are his last two years in office. If you know anything about him, you’d know that he would want to end his career on his own terms and go out on top.
He knows that if he ran again, he would lose renomination. Which is why I — and essentially everyone that works in Democratic politics in New York across the ideological spectrum — would be absolutely stunned if he runs for re-election.
So why would someone launching a primary campaign against him before January change his plans to run for majority leader?
He likely views these last two years as majority leader as his swan song.

In just 10 days, two New Yorkers were murdered in unrelated incidents by ex-NYPD officers.
If former officers pose this kind of threat, what does that say about the oversight and accountability of the NYPD as a whole? Who's monitoring the people entrusted with keeping us safe?
a jewish individual deciding for themselves that they want a jewish partner bc they want to continue jewish religious and cultural practices in their home is different from "i will not stand for intermarriage for my kids" lol don't act like greenblatt is doing a neutral thing

Here's the clip in HD because it's looking like we'll be using it a lot
Jon Ossoff doesn't support the Green New Deal, he doesn't support Medicare for All, he doesn't support Abolishing ICE
He voted to fund ICE, and to give them the power to jail anyone without due process

Matt arc over the last six months: “Stevens is more electable” → “AES can’t win Michigan” → “OK, he won, but not by enough.”
Heads I’m right, tails you’re wrong. Ideological dogma masquerading as analysis.

Schumer didn’t flip them. The local organizers did that, you prostrating worm.
Schumer flipped literally every seat that was actually difficult. Leftists flipped...Maine, a blue state, in the biggest blue wave of my lifetime.
Schumer won Mississippi, Iowa, and probably Alaska. Leftists won zero elections that anyone with a pulse and a D next to their name wouldn't have taken down

Harm reduction has suffered dreadful definition creep being transplanted from addiction to politics. It was already squishy as is - now it just means “vote.” No policy, no promises even. Just blind fealty in the vain hope Democrats aren’t complicit
