Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

I swear, each month of 2025 will have its own history degree.

Fear or fury? The choice is ours.

Take hopelessness and turn it into resilience.

Republicans are radicals, not conservatives.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Republicans do not trust women.

I don’t recall signing up for living in a dystopian sci-fi novel.

We cannot abandon the truth and remain a free nation.

Just because you believe it, that does not make it true.

We can’t confuse what’s necessary to win elections with the policies that we want to implement when we do.

Nothing says ‘pro-life’ like letting children go hungry.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

The words do not have to be perfect.

I did not have this on my fuck 2025 bingo card.

This really is a full service blog.

Every one of the “Roberts Six” lied to get on the court.

Also, are you sure you want people to rate your comments?

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

GOP baffled that ‘we don’t care if you die’ is not a winning slogan.

Compromise? There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

It is possible to do the right thing without the promise of a cookie.

I see no possible difficulties whatsoever with this fool-proof plan.

    I just received my voter card this week! I moved from New York to Virginia, at the end of August. I’m so looking forward to making a purple-ish state more blue.

    @eclare: Are you close enough to Florida to come on down? We are phone banking every day and canvassing every Saturday. We’ll add weekday GOTV canvassing in October. Can you remote phone bank for your favorite purple state?

    @eclare:

    You may be able to use the virtual phone bank tool to make calls into another state or you could work for a local candidate. Maybe your state Dem organization can connect you with an organizer in another state.

    @Florida Frog: I’m in Memphis TN, so not close at all. And border states are MS and AR. So no good there. I can remote phone bank as long as someone gives me a little instruction.

    That’s weird, I pulled up Hillary for TN, put in my zip, and the nearest office is Little Rock? I’m going to call my rep, Cohen, I bet his office will know what to do. Thanks for the nudge!

    I have no doubt that had I suffered the beating Lewis and so many others suffered on the Pettus bridge I would have gotten the electric chair for the murders that I committed. The power to forgive is his and that is what makes him special.

    @MomSense:
    I did this the last two election cycles. It was set up so I could call into Wisconsin on Congressional races. I was given an outline to work from (more than an outline but not yet a script). Most of the people I spoke to were great, these are not cold calls. Got a couple of hang ups and a couple people that bitched about getting too many calls, which I have sympathy for so I was prepared to explain why I felt it better to call too much and not too little.

    This year I am doing a local race & not as much of that as life has interrupted my plans a lot this year.

    To be able to harness the force used against him and turn it into a lifetime of service is indeed special. Pretty powerful words.
