Bad faith engagement begets bad faith responses. See you at the revolution

You think we handled that badly, check out operation paperclip for even more bad news.

Dunning-Kruger moment

Don’t bother, this fucking dingdong’s other takes include Billionaires are Fine Actually, Leftists Are Bad, Trans People Aren’t Being Erased, … the list goes on.

Not a lawyer, but I don’t understand how there’s a legal basis for this one. There are many cases of the PEDOTUS threatening to sue people but not following through because he didn’t actually have legal grounds to file a suit. This might be one of those. We’ll have to see.

That’s a great question I don’t know the answer to. It might be that many left-leaning folks are disillusioned with the political system at large and choose to disengage. The country does have a fantastically low voter participation rate, which itself says things about the citizens’ faith in the system. I’m hopeful that current events, and victories like this one, will push more hopefuls to run as challengers.

Save you a click: he’s dead Jim! Nothing much to report, really.

… [McConnell] hasn’t made a Senate vote since before [June 14], but a Senate Agriculture Committee meeting earlier this month did include a vote by proxy. The chair said he had spoken to McConnell about the farm bill and tried to vote on his behalf. It didn’t count.

Save you a click: overthrow of the establishment DNC is possible and it’s happening. Also, AIPAC money can’t buy everything.

Progressive California state Sen. Aisha Wahab has won a special election to serve the remainder of disgraced former Rep. Eric Swalwell’s term in the US Congress, defeating a centrist Democrat backed by millions of dollars in AIPAC spending.

… In November, Wahab will face Bay Area Rapid Transit board member Melissa Hernandez again in a race for a full two-year term in the US House.

Save you a click: the descent into a fascist police state continues. Plus, a reminder that the state apparatus exists to leverage force against its own citizens.

In Homeland Security Investigations lingo, CUC refers to “Certified Undercover” (CUC) operations in which DHS — typically in consultation with the Justice Department — grants agents and informants authorization to engage in otherwise illegal activities as part of the investigation. A CUC also exempts the agencies from laws that would typically prohibit them from actions like creating shell companies, setting up fake bank accounts, and other types of aggressive investigative steps.

These authorities are typically granted for operations against drug cartels, international money launderers, and other dangerous targets of federal law enforcement, experts told TPM. Now, the Minneapolis documents show, HSI is deploying these tactics against protesters using their First Amendment rights to oppose the Trump administration. Undercover agents monitored a No Kings Rally, a protest of the Iran War, and entered a local church in which a court had barred DHS from conducting some investigations. It’s part of a broader effort that the federal government launched after the killing of Charlie Kirk to criminalize opposition to the president, enlisting terrorism and anti-gang laws and tactics against non-violent protesters.

… The investigations into Minneapolis protesters ramped up in March, filings show. Since then, the DOJ has also run an initiative called Joint Task Force Vanguard, which reported to then-Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, now the Senate-confirmed attorney general. Vanguard is the task force through which federal prosecutors are implementing National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 (NSPM-7), the September 2025 White House directive to law enforcement to treat progressive beliefs as indicators of domestic terrorism.

… House Democrats have begun to respond to the mounting revelations around how NSPM-7 has prompted government surveillance on protesters. In a letter released on Tuesday, more than two dozen House Democrats led by Reps. Delia Ramirez (D-IL), Jim McGovern (D-MA), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA)asked the Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to provide details on how it’s being implemented.

Shocked, I tell you, I’m shocked!

This is the answer. Capitalism and its brother fascism also require violence and exploitation to maintain these hierarchies because they go against the actual human tendencies toward freedom, equality, and community.

Save you a click: AIPAC-backed establishment Dem beats out DSA challenger, and will be running against a Republican. A bad day for normal people across the country.

Moskowitz, one of the most prominent Jewish Democrats in the House of Representatives, will face Republican … Scott Singer Nov. 3 for the right to represent a district whose boundaries were recently redrawn by Florida legislators to favor the GOP.

… The two-term incumbent [Moskowitz] was backed by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), while Oliver was endorsed by far-left streamer Hasan Piker and former Bronx and Westchester Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY).

… Moskowitz has voted in favor of US aid to Israel and condemned members of his party who refer to Israel’s war following Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on the Jewish state as a “genocide.” He declined to debate Larkin, telling a local radio station last month: “I’m not going to platform him. He’s running against me solely on my religion.”

“Skin in the game”. Getting people dirty and having dirt on them is foundational for any crime ring, but especially pedo freaks.

Standard revolving door paradigm; the departure itself says little about the admin’s health. What’s interesting is where she’s going.

I’ll leave the interpretation to the reader…

“death to x”

Remember kids both parties are exactly the same, they’ve caused the same amount of damage, both hate gays and immigrants the same amount, both have destroyed the same amount of regulations on businesses that harm us. So don’t bother voting because they’re exactly the same. That’ll fix things for sure.

Exactly right.
