@Lis_Smith Change the brand to what exactly? It seems to me that Dems, have no identity. They want to win and then do what with the victory? What is the Dem vision for the country? The brand is built on a vision.

In the short term, we should find Democrats who can run against a Dem brand that is now toxic in 25 (or more) states: "Different kind of Democrat."
In the long term, we need to fundamentally change the Democratic brand so that it isn't used as a cudgel against candidates.

Bad news: this palpable frustration among Democrats and the Democratic base about what's going on in Washington can't be solved by any viral video or protest vote or press conference outside a government building.
Why?
Democrats simply don't have enough seats

What a coward. Have some courage. Take a position and defend it. What is this dissembling response? 😅

Asked if the disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo would be a good candidate for NYC mayor, Hakeem Jeffries replies: “I think he'd be a candidate that a lot of people, as I've heard from the district that I represent, would be very interested in checking out.”

Trump is signing an Executive Order today defunding public schools that require vaccines.

@rolandsmartin And you’re supposed to be an intelligent political analyst? Barf to this kind inane, xenophobic vindictive sentiment.

Oh my goodness. These people were not up to the task of leading an effective opposition during Trump's first term, and by the looks of it, things have gotten worse. I mean who is inspired by this? Who is motivated to organize effectively? Reminds me of a certain kente stunt

Shirley Chisholm actually stood for something, articulated a vision for an America she wanted to see, and worked for it. Months after the election and at the end of a four year term, I have little clue what Harris believes in or what vision she holds.

This is Maria, the little girl I saved when everyone thought she had been martyred. It was a tremendous surprise when she opened her eyes, revealing she was alive. Today, I visited her to check on her condition, and she is doing well. Maria sends her heartfelt thanks to everyone for their support and prayers for her.

@milesofgray I’m sorry Miles, this is devastating to hear. I don’t know you personally but have been a fan of you, Jack and the rest of the show since its inception. You will find a way forward.

Hey everyone, the family is safe but we unfortunately lost our home like countless others did in the Eaton Canyon Fire. I will have more to say once I’m able to process things a bit but for now just wanted to let people know we are safe and we will find a way forward.

@JoshEakle They also don’t institute a couple centuries of race-based slavery followed by decades more segregation/apartheid. When has American society been healthy

Healthy societies don't lionize vigilante killers.

More ppl in the Dem Party who stand for nothing other than to appear to be centrist. Have a vision. Define an objective. Seek to change American life for the better in some area. There’s so much to choose from.😒

@Kasparov63 “A collaborating population”. Dude, does that not constitute genocidal rhetoric? If your argument is that the larger population is collaborating then you can do whatever you want to that population.
English
Innocent lives lost are always a tragedy. But the refusal to distinguish between a terrorist army embedded in a collaborating population with a target nation defending itself and trying to rescue hostages is abhorrent. Any nation would do the same or soon cease to exist.

This disgraceful ICC decision is the last nail in the coffin of the international order based on Yalta-Potsdam arrangements. Politicizing & criminalizing self-defense against terrorism also discredits previous judgments against real war criminals like Putin.
Ritchie Torres@RitchieTorres
The ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants against the leadership of Israel represents the weaponization of international law at its most egregious. The ICC has set a precedent for criminalizing self-defense: any country daring to defend itself against an enemy that exploits civilians as human shields will face persecution posing as prosecution. The ICC ignores the cause and context of the war. Israel did not initiate the war. The war was imposed upon Israel by the unbridged barbarism of Hamas on October 7th. Not only did Hamas wage war on Israel, causing the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, it carefully constructed a battlefield designed to maximize the loss of civilian life. None of that context seems to matter to the kangaroo court of the ICC, which cannot let facts get in the way of its ideological crusade against the Jewish State. The ICC should be sanctioned not for enforcing the law but for distorting it beyond recognition.

Have we actually proven that? The US capitalist system thrives on resource exploitation. And the economic model pushed globally by the US is why the Amazon is under threat. Have there been changes to that model?

We don't have to choose between the environment and the economy. You can do both. We've proven it.

This is interesting to see. It's a bit like what happened with some of the BLM organizations post 2020. The Dem political entity, has coopted, diluted, and neutered the message and leverage of Uncommitted. Sad to see that this political capital has been squandered.

@SMohyeddin I am in awe at the diligence, patience, fortitude of these people, carefully attempting to free those trapped under rubble. The mental toll must be crushing, after more than a year. Their strength is without measure.

Is this not the language and imagery favored by GOP? Who is Harris appealing to here? And does it not represent a break with the left? This codes as something a Cruz, DeSantis, Haley, Gaetz, even Trump would tweet. Barf to this.🤮

As president, I will secure our border, disrupt the flow of fentanyl coming into the United States, and work to fix our broken system of immigration.
