I'm okay with people getting their mad out. I'm not okay with people thinking the Democratic Party feels that way. I'm not gonna miss him that much, but I'm not going to celebrate death.

Likewise! And you got to see why I call myself Grumpy! What are you working on these days?

If you don't see me by 0800, then please make sure that the Eat Something, Drink WoTer, take your meds reminder gets out. I'm not running away, just absolutely maxxed on time. I love you all! 2/2

If you haven't noticed, I've been too busy to really get over here. Work is working me, and political campaign stuff is ramping up. A Small Change, my family's nonprofit, is also taking off. Our mayor is now referring people to us. 60 to 70 lunches, plus pantry items, are gone in 30 minutes. 1/

South Carolina Democrats are looking for organizers!

If the Dem Party is doing a selection convention, you've got a good shot. Democrats can get all kinds of progressive at a convention. Get your ground people to start talking to County Party Chairs and Precinct leads. (If you haven't already, I'm assuming you have)

For people in Maine. Y'all need to be pestering Andrea for stump speeches and getting in touch with your local County party to advocate for her. Every County in Maine needs at least one aggressive advocate who has her 1. Stump Speech 2. One sentence response for policies

I wouldn't sleep on us. Everyone hates Wilson. Johnson is out there doing the work. We have Dem candidates for every single SC House District (124 candidates) and the ground game is strong. It's going to be tough, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

She needs to make sure her policies are refined and clear. But the biggest most important thing is face to face meetings with as many people as possible. She needs to hit that stage like she owns it and is ready to fight hard. If she inspires people, they'll vote for her. 2/2

I wouldn't make that jump... If they are getting delegates in from the county parties, then she needs to get out there and start her politicking. She needs to be shaking hands, working on her speech and presentation, and gathering up as many of those delegates as she can. 1/

And South Carolina.

There are also reports of ICE simply following the police around. Police will respond to a report. ICE just follows them and checks for papers. The Police are not formally involved, and can't stop ICE from doing it. idk if that is the case with LA, but they did it in Minneapolis.

Works for me. It's got some gravitas to it.

Our legal system. Laws: Paid for Cops: ACAB Prosecutors: Rogues Judges: Rogues Jury: (people tend to believe this still) Supreme Court: Corrupted DOJ: Weaponized There's not much trust left in our legal system, which occasionally aspires to a justice system.

My air conditioning was just crying.

Basically, there's a lot of truth to Democrats currently "acting like Republicans" because Republicans were typically conservative (Status Quo). Now there are no Republicans, there's only MAGA (Regressive), and Democrats are trying to hold what they've got (Status Quo), which is boring.

Going off of dictionary definitions. Progressive: Move forward and yay change. Moderate: I'll think about it. Conservative: Change bad (Status Quo) Regressive: Go backwards Social Democrats: Progressive Democrats: Conservative (at the moment) MAGA: Regressive 3/3
