She’s going against Debbie Wasserman Schultz and is explicitly anti AIPAC and progressive
I do not doubt or counter the terrible things he has done and continues to do.
He is a despicable person.
Don’t dehumanize him. He’s a human just like you and me, and we must stay vigilant to our friends and our selves to not become like Andrew Tate or any other people who have terrible unchecked thoughts and actions.
God I hope it’s Walz, it’s a dream ticket for progressives
If you’ve only got a year left, do some wild stuff different from your current life, experience all the things you won’t be able to experience after. Do all the things that you’d say no to like traveling cheaply/hitchhiking/walking, falling in love carelessly, speaking freely, and even starving, and disappointing people.
There are no experiences once you opt out, so, yolo it unironically.
Potentially at some point you think it’s still worthwhile living, but, if not, at least you experienced as much as you could.
The sky’s the limit, most people don’t do things because of their long term effects and chance for death and harm - if you don’t have that limit - use it to your advantage
If Kelly gets the VP, the democratic governor of Arizona gets to pick his replacement, it’s not a special election or a tossup!
Mark Kelly seems like the right pick to me, he’s got the overview effect and has unique experiences and leadership, already has experience in the Senate which is their main job, can probably take his swing state blue, and his seat can be easily replaced.
Shapiro is too pro-Netanyahu IMO, I’m neutral on Beshear, but his seat isn’t as easily replaceable, and losing a democratic governor would suck, and he might not take the state blue.
17·17 days agoI eventually quit, I finally cold Turkey’d it, I combined it with quiting nicotine.
I’ve tried to quit many times in the past, but this time has been the longest at 5 months or so
The advice I have: Don’t plan to quit, at some point you’ll have the impulse to quit after it weighs on your head for a while, that’s when you just lean into it - in the spur of the moment, toss your stuff or put it away someplace that’s annoying to get it back out of. Be as fast about this as possible as to not give time to the little voice that says “one more”: catch your brain off guard.
Then importantly, ensure to not substitute your habit with something else, like binge snacking or another drug - just accept that you’re gonna be uncomfortable - and embrace the discomfort - potentially make use of a fidget toy - but I found success in just destroying the habit rather than replacing/redirecting it. It took a couple weeks before it no longer was on my mind.
Finally: don’t beat yourself up if it takes a couple attempts to break the habit, each time I quit I got better at quiting.
It took a few weeks before I felt like it was all out of my system, and I started feeling healthier and better and more productive and more myself, and now I actually decline weed when offered because I like my sobriety. Mama Ganja taught me a lot, and she’s taught me all she can, and no I have moved on.

She was a prosecutor before becoming an attorney general, then a senator, and then of course a VP.
While she has enforced the law as a prosecutor, as was her job, when it came to policy making she has been consistently progressive, and much more aligned with Bernie and the left than the center.
I don’t think this is well known, and some people think she’s just another centrist neo-liberal, but that is not the case when you look into what’s she’s done
When the headlines are about random maga types being quoted calling her “little whore” and n-words - it’s clear that yeah, the -isms are indeed out and about, the media is just reporting it.
The reality cannot be denied, they aren’t deep faking the clips.
The maga crowd dosnt counter her policies, her voting record, her career, her speech, her age, her cognitive function
They go after what she was born with and what that crowd has been indoctrinated to hate.
That’s where the ism’s come from.
I’ve seen something like this referenced a couple times now, what is it?
Technically… yes
