Never accept the status quo, for any reason, ever.
Fight for a better life, for a better community, and for a better world. Don't accept anything as it is now.
Terrible things will never end, but neither will the fight for a better future.
@BerthaMacc65@EricMGarcia First of all, if you’re using personal attacks to defend yourself that means you’re losing. Second, it was 14 years ago and you’re still angry about it? Seems like you’re immensely butthurt lol
@BerthaMacc65@EricMGarcia Scott Brown was a Massachusetts Republican senator who replaced Ted Kennedy after he died from 2010-2013 before Elizabeth Warren beat him. You’re thinking of Sherrod Brown who is very different.
RIP to an absolute LEGEND. The last thing I saw him in was Wake Up Dead Man, he was playing a very different character than he usually does but my god what a talent.
Best case scenario at DC is that they use what Gunn established thus far as a foundation to build on. Keep Corenswet, Aaron Pierre, etc. Given his MCU history, Latcham should be smart enough to know the value of letting a universe grow as opposed to hitting reset yet again.
@TheDCUSuperman It just seems like they are shilling for Skydance. I get their point but there’s a LOT they cannot speak to let alone comprehend here in their discussion.
Deluzio on path ahead for Dems in @TribLIVE:
“It cannot be the case in a country as rich as ours that people’s hard work does not translate into a good and decent life. Republicans ignored that message after their win in 2024, and I don’t want Democrats to ignore it, either.”
The people voted for a Dem majority in the senate to fight for them on all issues that matter to them. Chuck Schumer is a spineless coward who is VASTLY out of touch with the base. We need Chris Van Hollen to step the fuck up and challenge Schumer for senate majority leader.
New in @playbookdc: A person familiar with Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s thinking about running for majority leader told Playbook he’s “received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode. The door is not shut.”
@LiberateNDs I wouldn’t even say left, a lot of the attacks were purported by so called “moderates” who had issues with him as a progressive but were using personal attacks that lead to disgusting vile Islamicophobic comments about him. I called them out in Twitter spaces recently.
I’m a progressive, but I think different subsections of the Democratic Party do different things very well, and the best version of the party moving forward takes a little bit from each of them.
This will vary by state, district, etc. but this is my ideal blueprint for the national party heading into 2028:
— “Name the enemy” progressive economic populism around billionaires, mega corporations, affordability/cost of living, etc. (à la Mamdani/Bernie/AOC)
— “Root out corruption root and stem” and litigating the case about how Citizens United is poisoning our country (à la Ossoff)
— “Love thy neighbor” empathy and tolerance on trans issues (à la Talarico/Hamilton/Warnock/Beshear)
— “America First, but not in a racist/assholic way” around things like tariffs, foreign wars, and spending our tax dollars at home instead (à la El-Sayed)
— “Reclaim patriotism and the American flag” (à la Ryan/Deluzio)
— “Get shit done” (à la Pritzker/Shapiro)
— “Humanely but effectively secure the border, treat immigrants with dignity & dismantle ICE” (à la Pulido/Gallego)
— “Protect our kids from preyed on by Big Tech” (à la McMorrow)
— “These data centers better pay the fuck up” populism (à la Hinojosa/Hong/Lawrence)
— “Let’s regulate the fuck out of these AI companies so we don’t all die” (à la Bores)
@LiberateNDs There are some pretty glaring issues I have with aspects of his voting record as a senator, but, he’s basically in my top 3 as well. AOC (if she runs) and JB Pritzker are the only other ones I’d actively support. All the rest do not cut it for me.
