I absolutely despise that I pretty much need facebook to do outreach for my city committee.

And now I have to try to make a facebook account.

Let me find my surprised face.

And this is exactly how the oligarchs want it.

Qualified immunity could get relooked at, but the timing seems bad

My feed is full of lefties this morning who are:

1. claiming there is no major constituency in the Democratic party who is pro Israel (there is. They're wrong, but they're there, and unlike the lefties and protestor kids, they vote CONSISTENTLY, not when you find the magic single issue of the moment, so they have to be heard)
2. literally using Biden doing popular things that the oligarchs don't like (student debt relief) to complain about. .. Biden not doing popular things to get elected

Loud motorcycles should be illegal, just like every loud engine should be illegal. If you don't have the spine to ride quiet, don't ride at all.

I like to follow rational lefties because I often get good news from them that I don't see even with my fairly left leaning, definitely not centrist set of stuff. But they seem to go off the rails at a fairly high rate.

Palestine has them jumping the shark at like 5x the normal rate, though.

Russian influence ops are just reveling in this shit.

Something I realized I actually super appreciate these days is people I disagree with who aren't insane, idiots, or other types of conservative dipshits. People with GOOD REASONS and GOOD FACTS behind their conclusions.

These folks do exist. My personal slack group has a bunch of folks that I don't agree with, and it's FASCINATING. These folks do sometimes change my mind, though it's rare. But I respect where they're coming from.

Imagine politics like that.

"Biden's 15.4m jobs are 8 times as many jobs as were created in the 16 years of the last 3 Republican Presidencies, combined. Since 1989 and the end of the Cold War, the US has seen 51 million new jobs created. 49 million of those 51 million jobs - 96% - have been created under Democratic Presidents. Just 2 million jobs - 4% - have been created under Republicans. There has been one and only one American political party good at this capitalism thing and it sure isn’t the party of Trump. "

Biden's presidency is solid proof that "just do good things and people will want to vote for you" is yet another fantasy from folks that don't want to participate in governance, but want to whine if things aren't perfect.

If doing good things made people want to vote for you, Biden would be top 5 most popular presidents in history and no one would be worrying about his reelection.

I remember a few short months ago when various #Ukraine supporters didn't see the difference between republicans and democrats.

I think that's largely been cleared up now.

We want to tear down a dilapidated old garage that's collapsing, covered in lead paint, and an attractive nuisance for various critters that can be slightly difficult to live with, and replace it with a nice pre-fab shed that's slightly smaller.

Which we were told by a city planner we could do by right.One of our neighbors has visited the planning board about this twice, and now we are going to have to get a special permit

Zoning is a curse
what the actual fuck is wrong with people?

Oh great, some local townsfolk are basically gearing up to go to every committee meeting and run the CIA's simple sabotage playbook.

This is what I mean when I say we aren't giving them what they need to win and we should be.

We're simply helping them not lose.

This is POLICY. And it's bad policy. We need to give them overwhelming firepower, immediately.

At the very least, get them all the shells and himars rockets they need to overwhelm the russians. That's probably all they really need!

I'm very glad we're giving #Ukraine aid, but we're still giving them "don't lose" aid.

We should be giving them overwhelming fire superiority aid. They should be able to fire 10 shells to Russia's 1. They should be able to launch himars every time they see a vatnik.

You really gotta read this. It's really very, very good.

Also, it makes the point that the CEO of Boeing has killed more people than Timothy McVeigh, which gets me back to my mantra "Capital punishments for capitalist crimes"

This is irresponsible, and the data we have actually shows it won't erupt in violence. Despite Jan 6, there have been multiple other threats of violence, like the mar a lago subpoena, and literally nothing has materialized. They're making violence MORE LIKELY by making folks thinks other people will participate.

Not that we shouldn't be ready. And find out whose side your local cops are on.

I'd really like someone to write up a study of whether Biden's excellent work on student debt relief is translating to any appreciable vote bumps.

I feel like all the people who used to make a big deal about this (Berners) have been quiet about it, but instead of quietly appreciating that he's gotten a lot done they've quietly switched to calling him genocide joe.

The west should work with our companies to add a little addition to the chips being used by Russia to cause them to target the point of origin.
