"Is it eye rack or ee rock? Eye ran or ee ron? Sear ee uh or sire eye ay? Leb uh non or lee bay non? They never taught me this at Yale."

We done voted. And while I sat here uploading this video, I saw over a dozen others depositing their ballots. About half of them took photos of themselves depositing their ballots.

As I was saying about Iowa... It's sad, because there's a *conservative* argument for trans rights, centered on "mind your own business, keep govt out, personal freedom", that purple state / red district Dems could've run with, along with some "WWJD?" If they weren't personally anti-trans, I mean.

Yeah, why not? Just get to the end of it all where there's The Very Big Corporation of America that owns and runs everything and gets all its labor from The Master Gig App for which everyone toils as an independent contractor.

But also, don't for a second think that they're Drmocrats. Bring them along for the pro-democracy coalition, win power, and then tell them to sit down and shut the f up, cuz they're part of the reason we got to where we are in the first place.

Yeah, Brother West lost me in 2024.

I am really concerned that this story about the thieves that are electronically targeting the shipping of copper and other precious metals bound for data centers is really running the risk of getting them caught.

So close to getting it.

Angel Reese got some late 80s Detroit Pistons era elbows.

Remember, the person who has told you they are not going to vote for your candidate, regardless of the reason, has done you the favor of freeing up your time to go try to convince someone else who doesn't usually vote to vote for your candidate.

There are two outcomes, MAGA. 1) You will be deeply ashamed to friends and family that you voted for him three times. 2) You will have no more friends and family.

Got to fix the sword, otherwise perfect.

Of all the interviews I ever did, my favorite was with Jesse Ventura.

music.youtube.com/watch?v=osP-... Yes, I caught the "Fred Garvin: Male Prostitute" reference there from back in the days when you could name every SNL cast member from memory. One of Aykroyd's best characters.

I'm waiting for Democratic Leadership to explain that it's different for politicians in Brazil because they don't have reactionary right-wing morons and Trump +20 districts to run in.

He can't be talking about the "strong Republican party" full of our "colleagues" and "friends across the aisle" that the Democrats long for and seek "bipartisan consensus" and "common ground" with, can he? Not the party of universally loved Ronald Reagan! ("Seem to be"? Atwater, Buchanan, Duke...)

If they are not going to obey USA courts, why would they obey Scottish courts?

Here's Lula celebrating tonight with Erika Hilton, a transgender politician who led the drive to end the six-day work week in Brazil. Erika showed workers solidarity, they showed her solidarity back. Solidarity is how fascism loses.

Everything Trump Touches Dies #ETTD

Halloween candy is so expensive this year it's finally cheaper to give the kids edibles.

If you read far enough into the accompanying article, the other parents were bringing up "questions of fairness." Fairness? Your 5-year-old kids were getting smoked by a three year old. "If the trans kids or the Black kids are too good, it just ain't fair!" ⚪️🗑🤡

I'm going to guess that Abdul El-Sayed also knows that calling JD Vance "boy" is going to rile up all those MAGA hat morons.

Why not? A charismatic populist with an ear toward the party's base and the mandate to tear down the establishment managed to completely subsume the Republican Party in less than a decade. (He didn't have a Jim Clyburn to get all the party moderates to settle on one of them to beat him, though.)

"Don't boo, vote" and "when they go low, we go high" is why we're on this mess in the first place.

Spotted in Medford, Oregon (aka, "not the Blue part of Oregon").

This is exactly how you handle this. If there's follow-ups, ask, What's the name of the transgender athlete we're talking about? What sport do they play? How long have they been on HRT?

And the Democratic party is nowhere to be found in this metaphor. Spot on.

AI don't impress me. You wanna impress me? Make a printer that works every time, all the time.

Repeat it with me again: The only Democratic civil rights victories have come through the relentless advocacy of people against Conservative Democrats. The *only* way we advance is by chasing cent-dems with hot pokers like demons through hell. We have a century of evidence for this.

He's fake, wrong, and smarmy.

The guy who was reticent to support gay marriage and is currently speaking for a transphobe has a word for you about rediscovering your moral compass.
