Can’t wait to get my new Trump dividend check right after my DOGE savings check and my tariff rebate.
Why isn't Corey Smith playing? The dude is a stud and is sitting on the bench.

It was a pleasure to sit for this interview about the strategic and moral catastrophe awaiting us all if the left abandons its focus on combating the repressive apparatus of the state.
Alec Karakatsanis argues that when the left retreats from Black Lives Matter-era demands, both parties capitalize on backlash to expand police power—enabling far-right “law-and-order” policies.

This is a fucking disgrace and another reason the dyed in the wool life long Dems, like me, no.longer recognize the party. We cannot continue to cocede policy issues to the right.

The biggest threat to capitalism are those who insist that any attempt to manage the downsides of it and share the upsides is somehow communism. The Nordic nations are not communist nations. They simply give a shit about their people who comprise their mixed-market economies.

Democratic socialist label
It’s seen as positive by half the party – more by younger & more liberal Democrats.
It's not negative to other Dems though - more neutral.
The term “Democratic establishment” is not met with much negativity within the party - most call it a positive or are neutral about it.

She came up about 3,500 votes short, but Francesca Hong is a legend. What an incredible campaign. Nobody thought an unabashed democratic socialist would get more than 311,000 votes in this primary.

This is the argument for doing away with a minimum wage too. If people want to work for $1.35 an hour they should be able to.
