    Tea Party time for the Dems. Time for anyone on the far left to be just as annoying about this fascism as the far right was about the election of a black president. Primary as many Dems as possible, especially anyone enabling genocide or Renazicans. Annoy people at your work, shout down anyone trying to silence you, play your communist podcast louder than the guy in the other cubicle plays Ben Shapiro. Unite the Left might not rhyme, but the time is now, the slogan can be workshopped later.

      I just tried to think of some rhymes and all I could think of was heft, bereft or cleft. All of which are kind of the opposite of intended meaning.

        The open zionist who chased a black guy through his neighborhood with a shotgun because he thought he must be stealing was bad before the brain damage, we just mistakenly told ourselves he learned from his mistakes or was saying zionist stuff to stop AIPAC from funding his opposition in the general like they did during the primary.

    I’m not naive enough to think she’d replace him as senate minority/majority leader, but if AOC replaced cowardly Chuck as senator from NY that’d be pretty great.

        California is apparently putting a secession measure on the ballot in '28, not sure why they’re waiting so long.

          California accepted a petition for an initiative to put a secession resolution on the ballot. The state of California agreed that the paperwork submitted was valid and so they are approved to start collecting signatures.

          No one in the California government is seriously discussing secession as far as I’m aware.

          This has been happening since before the first trump presidency, and has consistently lacked support on the ground. I would guess that they’re banking that angst against the rest of the US will be at its peak at that point.

    Tammy Baldwin is my dem senator. She’s might be more of a Hillary Clinton Democrat than Hillary Clinton, but I called.

    Incidently, the caller ID on her DC office line still lists Herb Kohl. He left the office over a decade ago, and died a little over a year ago.

          Yeah it’s a good one actually, a bit closer to ripe than the last couple I’ve had. Getting decent fruit at the supermarket is such a pain these days isn’t it. 🍍 🥳
