    Progress is possible, it’s just not inevitable.

    That’s the death that #democrats are going through now. The end of the enlightenment, in which discovery and exposure would cure all ills.

    (But it’s mostly been marketing since about 1998.)

    Now, with nowhere left to run and no one in the complete dark (social media’s cuckoo bird, carrot/stick), we’re entrenched.

    And now we fight. From the trenches. Not from towers, classrooms, or ballrooms.

  4. From Candice Bernd: Jon Rosenthal's opponent Bo French is a fascist proponent of the so-called "Great Replacement Theory."

    We asked Rosenthal about his pro-regulatory approach, French’s far-right rhetoric and deregulatory agenda, and the importance of local control. texasobserver.org/railroad-com

  5. Anybody else notice the total absence and complete silence on the part of #Democrats about the overt plans to steal the election?

    Headlines mark its march through the courts as though each step is a normal formality.

    No comment. Maybe some whining on Sunday mornings? For all I know, hand wringing in the fundraising spam?

    Not even so much as "we're watching." No support, not even rhetorical, for the real infrastructure of local volunteer poll workers, sure to be the main arena of fuckery. Certainly no threats: not of lawsuits, and absolutely not mass action. Zero local organizing, tepid support even for the biennial pussy-hat marches.

    This is a party who thinks its function is to take crumbs from billionaires and then to pass legislation for billionaires. They have forgotten how to POSTURE, much less how to build anything with the even the faint aroma of politics. (Incidentally, this is the context for Jeffries meeting with Kushner.)

    Meanwhile, all my rich comfortable white friends in "No Kings" Indivisible meetings continue to cling to this party's skirt.

  6. From Gus Bova in our magazine: Going back to 2022, the Lone Star Left blog offered misplaced hope and progressive, but disproved predictions to Texas #Democrats.

    But now, reality appears to be catching up with the positivity ... texasobserver.org/the-year-for

    I'm afraid I don't have time to read your story, but I'm hardly "scapegoating one politician", if you were jailed during the #Biden years, I doubt it was due to legislation he initiated, and as for "hushing investigations", WHO exactly needed investigating? #Republicans or #Democrats? 🤔

    Republicans have controlled either the WH or Congress for 42 of the last 46 years.

    Republican hypocrites have ALWAYS held Dems to a higher standard.
