if there was a rulebook to this merry game we play in concentric circles, running around the same pyre like some ancient ritual but if there was a rulebook laws, of some sort that dictated what love was and that what we were feeling was something on the contrary that everytime we gazed into the empty pools of the other's eyes something was lost i think we would end up throwing that rulebook into the pyre continue running in our fibonacci spiral, throwing the ashes into the sky watching as they settled over everything we once loved

The disregard politicians are showing especially to those who they hired to help them succeed and to their constituents…corrupt and rotten.

Kevin McCarthy losing four five six seven eight ten consecutive Speaker of the House votes (so far) is legitimately one of the funniest things to ever happen. This is 2023's boat stuck in the Suez Canal. Something important has ceased working for the most hilarious possible reason and we are all watching desperate attempts to get it working again while secretly hoping it does not, and I think that's beautiful

It was a really, really good political news day today in the US (4/4/23)

For anyone who hasn't heard, not only did Trump get arrested, but also:

-We found out that the legal case against him in this prosecution (stormy daniels hush money case) is SIGNIFICANTLY stronger than people had speculated. Like, wow do they have receipts.

-In fact, the evidence was so entirely there that the new question on prime time news (well, at least on msnbc lol) is "Hey, why didn't the federal courts prosecute him for this already???)

-Trump FAILED UTTERLY in his attempts to rally mass protests and demands for "death and destruction" if he was arrested. There was no violence at the arrest at all, and as for Trump supporters? They failed to show up in any kind of numbers--reportedly only about a hundred people were protesting the arrest

-We (aka Judge Janet Protasiewicz) WON what is widely considered to be the most consequential election of 2023, a Wisconsin state supreme court election that handed control of the state supreme court to the left

-Because of that election win, it is now extremely likely that abortion will be legal in Wisconsin, and that Wisconsin won't be able to throw out electors in the 2024 presidential election

-ALSO bc of this, Wisconsin, the most gerrymandered state in the country, will probably get nonpartisan, accurate maps, which COULD FLIP THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES in 2024

-In Chicago, Brandon Johnson, union organizer and former teacher, won the election for mayor, in a decisive win progressives, esp for meaningful criminal justice reform and investment in mental health (whereas the other guy was campaigning on hiring hundreds of new cops and being super tough on crime)

The same, old mistake.

April 6, 2023

Back in December of 2019, we suggested Joe Biden was not the best choice for the Democratic presidential nomination because he was (based on his decades-long Senate record) too center-right for the Party’s rank-and-file of young, liberal voters. But while he certainly hasn't been the second coming of FDR, President Biden's first term has been far more energetic and progressive than we (or anyone else, for that matter) ever expected.

The Biden administration has definitely accomplished a lot for liberals to cheer about. Like his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act, his support for Ukraine in its war against the Russian invasion, his repeal of some of Trump's most odious edicts, and his legislative successes in reducing climate change. But now, with an election year approaching, Biden appears to be returning to his familiar centrist ways.

One example is his recent green lighting of the Willow Project, a massive ConocoPhillips oil-drilling venture on federal lands in the Alaskan wilderness. GOPers will still declare him a woke radical socialist, of course. But meanwhile it's enraging environmentally conscious, young voters.

Then there's the budget proposal that was released last month. One of its main themes was curbing the deficit, while keeping some of the expiring Trump-era tax cuts. In a statement, the White House said the fiscal plan would strengthen the country by “reducing the deficit by nearly $3 trillion over the next decade” compared with current projections. Strangely, this was a concern he never mentioned when he was running in 2020 and courting liberal voters.

And the New York Times has even more examples of Biden's veer to the right.

Not only is he increasingly focused on deficit reduction, Mr. Biden last week abandoned fellow Democrats by rejecting a new District of Columbia measure reducing mandatory minimum sentences for some violent offenses, rather than be tagged as soft on crime. And more and more, his administration is turning toward tougher policies to stem a near-record-high tide of illegal immigration, including possibly reviving the practice of detaining migrant families who cross the southwestern border illegally.

Said one Democratic consultant in The Hill, “It’s just another reminder of who Biden actually is. That’s his instinct.” Unfortunately, it's the instinct of all too many Democrats who fall into the Party's long-standing political miscalculation of moving to the right in order to claim a non-existent center and assume the ever-elusive mantle of "bipartisanship." Biden may think commanding the political mainstream while Republicans inhabit the radical extreme was what worked for him in 2020. His error now is in not realizing how popular progressive ideas are in 2023.

‼️Call/Write your Senators to STOP BILL S.1409 (KOSA)‼️

This is not my normal content but the word needs to spread

‼️KOSA IS A MASSIVE ONLINE CENSORSHIP BILL‼️

This bill is proposed by, Richard Blumenthal and Marsha Blackburn, who is very vocal about being against LGBT ppl!

It will force everyone online who wants to use a website to UPLOAD THEIR GOVERNMENT ID AND AGE TO THE PUBLIC!

Yes they did change the language of the bill but the sentiment is still the same. It will be used for censorship no matter what they say.

THIS BILL COULD PASS THE SENATE AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK AND THEN THE HOUSE THE SAME DAY
