Going into voicemail hell with Kaiser Permanente to iron out a problem with my mom's medications and being constantly jerked around, unable to get a human being on the line and then they give you a recording telling you what to do if you're having a mental health emergency is rich. Our "health care" system induces such emergencies.

Explaining the concept of the downwardly-mobile petite bourgeoisie to a physics student

Oh I see what’s happening, Democrats are going to run on “I’m banning trans from sports and then kill them” and then every annoying centrist is going to pretend not to hear the second part and go “He only wants to ban you from sports why do you care so much?”.
still trying to find words small enough to explain to Democrats that they're supposed to run candidates who can win in the general election
Love how two of the few things Dems treat as ironclad principles are "the GOP are fascists and we are the party of #resistance" and bipartisanship
New: Iowa Democrat Josh Turek is running a radical Senate campaign ... to the center
- Opposes impeachment
- Supports Laken Riley Act
- Criticizes Dems for blocking Husted data center bill and farm bill
- Ticks off all the ways he can work with Trump
“Politically, the term moderate can be pejorative. And I say that I’m proudly a moderate," he says in an interview.
His opponent, Rep. Ashley Hinson, says Turek is "going to be voting with Chuck Schumer 100% of the time." But she too is running toward the center, distancing herself from Trump on Iran, Russia and Vivek ad
Turek: Hinson’s “masquerading. I mean that’s a problem for me. I’m genuinely a bipartisan person,” he added. “She has been partisan. … Just be who you are.”
On the throwback race in Iowa, where “They expect us to represent Iowa interests and not just the interests of whoever’s president of the United States," according to Chuck Grassley -->

The transphobia, the turning on us, the "biological male" slurs, the selling out of our hard-won rights for imaginary MAGA votes, the anti-LGBTQ+ laws they'll write and vote for, the healthcare bans. Making the difference the Blue MAGA way!

Polls also show that Democrats are too stupid and cowardly to do anything about it when their party elects them anyway.
🚨NEWS: A new poll shows a majority of voters in major swing states and districts want Democrats to replace @SenSchumer as Senate leader, and a plurality want Democrats to replace @RepJeffries as House leader.

Just FYI: Josh Turek is backed by The Bench, part of the same donor network as Adam Jentleson’s Searchlight Institute.
Jentleson, a former Fetterman staffer, has been pushing the Democratic Party to move right on trans issues ever since his partner transitioned and left him.
another downstream effect of journalism being one of many professions that largely stopped hiring new people by 2005

The only midterm-related prediction I'll make is that after the election, regardless of the results, Never Trump Repubs will try to turn the Dem Party into the Bush-Era GOP, and Corporate Dems will try to resurrect the Clinton-Era Dem Party.
Those trains are always on time.

what really happened:
when MA legalized gay marriage in 04, it was a concerted effort by activists to go thru courts because even in MA, dems were cowards who wouldnt run on it
in the 12 years until obergefell, activists worked tirelessly to do this in every new england state

Mamdani is a huge piece of shit scammer. he really used Palestinian pain as a campaign strategy. genuinely fuck this guy.
⚡️ Mayor Zohran Mamdani's NYPD is poised to sign a three-year, $750,500 no-bid contract with Israeli surveillance firm Cognyte for FalcoNet, an AI-driven device that mimics a cell tower to track phones and can be mounted on police cars and drones or hidden in a backpack, the New York Daily News reported.
Cognyte won a tender to sell intercept spyware to Myanmar's state telecom weeks before the 2021 military coup, Reuters previously reported. Meta banned the firm the same year, saying its customers used fake accounts to target journalists and politicians in Kenya, Mexico and Indonesia.
The firm is part of an Israeli surveillance industry that grew big as a result of the military's monitoring of Palestinians, whose phone calls Israel's Unit 8200 has intercepted and stored by the millions, including to carry out genocide in Gaza and enforce a brutal illegal occupation in Jerusalem and the West Bank.

Disturbing how centrists mentally slip from "let's tactically avoid criticizing Democrats since Republicans are worse" to "Democrats never do anything wrong since Republicans are worse."
VBNMW isn't just a tactic, it's a whole weird epistemology

We're in the stage of the campaign cycle where stuff like this is pushed as "concessions to the left!" so that leftists think they've 'won' something, & elected progressives aren't pressured to use their very real leverage in a narrowly won House to hold up congress until the party's agenda aligns with the interests of the public.
BREAKING: Huge announcement from @BernieSanders:
"If the Democrats regain control of the Senate, I'm going to become chairman of the Health Education Labor Committee."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is not breaking news or a huge announcement. Bernie Sanders has been the Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions since January 3, 2025. Since that date, should Democrats retake the majority, he’d become chair of that committee.

NEW from me
Abdul El-Sayed's longtime comms director, Roxie Richner, repeatedly called President Biden a "rapist" after he was accused of sexual assault in 2020.

this is why I don't believe in "elect them first, challenge them later" nor do I believe in peacefully protesting them. you gotta make them remember who they work for, & they won't do that unless they're afraid of you. stop stanning these mfers.
