Man big political news: Washington’s primary ballot dropped this week. You should have it in your hands this week. If you’re paying attention, you probably know how you’re voting on some big ticket races. But what about further down the ballot? Good news! Other people have put in the work.
– Fuse does great work statewide.
– The Stranger has Seattle area endorsements.
– The Sierra Club has endorsements for environmentally minded people.
If you have any other voters guides, feel free to leave them in the comments. And while you’re waiting for that ballot, maybe go wash your hands. And get vaccinated or boosted if you’re eligible.

After losing in November and launching another failed pipe-bomb attack on Congress, Trump won’t be able to live out the rest of his life in New York. Hell be forced to liquidate everything to pay off his still mounting debts and bankruptcies.

Where J.D. Vance Gets His Weird, Terrifying Techno-Authoritarian Ideas
https://newrepublic.com/article/183971/jd-vance-weird-terrifying-techno-authoritarian-ideas
In 2008, a software developer in San Francisco named Curtis Yarvin, writing under a pseudonym, proposed a horrific solution for people he deemed “not productive”: “convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.”
Yarvin is the chief thinker behind the “Dark Enlightenment.” Among other things, it openly promotes dictatorships as superior to democracies. Yarvin seeks to reengineer governments by breaking them up into smaller entities called “patchworks,” which would be controlled by tech corporations.
“The basic idea of Patchwork is a global spiderweb of tens, even hundreds, of thousands of sovereign and independent mini-countries, each governed by its own joint-stock corporation without regard to the residents’ opinions,”
Each patchwork would be ruled by a “realm”: a corporation with absolute power. Citizens would be free to move, but every other realm would also be ruled by corporate governments with chilling impunity. For example, Yarvin says the tech overlords of the San Francisco realm could arbitrarily decide to cut off its citizens’ hands with no fear of legal consequences—because they’re a sovereign power, beholden to no federal government or laws.

There’s a big general problem with all this racist, misogynist shit flinging that goes beyond its incoherence and vulgarity.
The corpo media all found it pretty comfortable to report on, analyze, and amplify the ageist criticism directed at Biden. And that’s really because ageism is still very fair game in the general culture. But it is especially fair game in the media world. It’s an absolute obsession in media.
Racism and sexism not so much. Which isn’t to say that the media world isn’t both racist and sexist as fuck. Hardly. But within media communities and workplaces those things have to be handled with lots of careful, nuanced language and reasoning to keep from being bankrupted by litigation and driving away key audience. And this is precisely the sort of “politically correct” and “woke” language and reasoning that MAGA have built their brand to oppose and cancel.
So it’s going to be a real challenge for MAGA to summon attack rhetoric targeting Vice President Harris that gets spread uncritically through the large audience media.
One good example we are seeing on our pages here is how the Village Idiot’s tiresome racist/sexist “Boxcheck Momala” tag has been turned around on him. Racist/sexist shit bags have certain specific images stored in their brains about what a “DEI hire” means. It can be lots of things. But universally it is someone undeserving, and unaccomplished, who contributes nothing. So beyond flipping the rhetoric, all it takes to upend these criticisms is a demonstration of getting shit done. In particular getting shit done that no white man has ever done.
And when that becomes the response to the MAGA sexist/racist “Boxcheck Momala” rhetoric, then that’s what the media will often report on, or they won’t report at all.

Vance argued that conservatives needed to take action against corporations that, say, defended abortion rights or punished employees who spoke out against abortion access. “If we’re unwilling to make companies that are taking the side of the left in the culture wars feel real economic pain, then we’re not serious about winning the culture war,” he said.

Maybe birthright citizenship?
About 23 percent of children born in the U.S. in 2016 — more than 910,000 children — had mothers who were born in another country.
More than 4 million current minor U.S. citizens currently living in the U.S. are living with at least one non-citizen.
In 2019, 38.3 million people in the United States (12 percent of the country’s population) were native-born Americans who had at least one immigrant parent.
It’s a whole lot bigger than Project 2025 wants you to know.
And that’s of course why they do not want to tell you what the plan for that is. Oh, they have one. But it’s not the one involving the concentration camps and mass deportations.
Instead what MAGA and the Heritage Foundation promise to do is revoke citizenship from nearly 40 million U.S. citizens overnight. Then grant them provisional permission to continue to reside in the U.S. – the nation of their birth and the only home nation they have ever known. Stripped of their citizenship, and with no other claim to citizenship in any other nation on earth, these 40 million former U.S. citizens instantly become a permanent underclass ripe for exploitation and abuse.
And nearly all of them are “The Hispanics” that the stupid fucking Village Idiot wants to threaten us with.

Elmo’s defective tech simply can’t keep pace with Vice President Harris’s soaring popularity and exploding interest in her campaign. Her savage memes are breaking his shitty platform.
It’s okay. You and Nads can relax. She’s got 20 million followers on her grams. And she’s blowing the fuck up on TikTok with hundreds of spawns sharing millions of videos and views in just 48 hours. X is a platform for olds and fascists. If you relied on X you would have completely missed the last 48 hours – like the MAGA Village Idiot did.

Reuters/Ipsos uses a 42/37 registration advantage for Democrats in order to claim that Boxcheck Momala has a 2-point advantage over Trump.
The problem is, last year there were more Republicans than Democrats.

Tryna find a silver lining by looking at year old data…
The closest we get is March based on Primary partisan registration in the 30 states where it happens and remember, our Dumbfuck was assuring us that hundreds of thousands if not millions of Democrats were crossing over to vote for Nikki to make Trump look bad.

While it is certainly no indication of outcomes and of little predictive value, the one thing the Reuters/IPSOS does probably indicate is that the rapid, consensus unification to support Vice President Harris was the right move.
Obviously I did not want to see any of this. Very few of us probably did. But that was born out of a profound concern about a food fight process unfolding among twenty or so ambitious wannabes and their supporters/staff vying for the commitment of 4,000
professional button collectersdelegates.But it was all over in less than 48 hours without a shot fired or a single hint of declared opposition from anyone. And if that obvious quiet ground work and rapid consensus building is an example of the work of Vice President Harris then I’m all-in. Democrats can be real shitheads quite a lot of the time. And it requires a rare grasp of diplomatic and political soft skill to pull off what she apparently just did in under 48 hours. I think there may be more than a few very prominent Democratic men who are searching around in the bleachers for the high tops right about now. I’d love to know which ones they are. And maybe some day we’ll find out. The smart ones see the train pulling out and get the fuck off the tracks and get on board.

underrated reason the U.S. was forced to withdraw from Vietnam:
U.S. troops simply stopped pursuing mission objectives.
In a practical sense, and especially in a hot combat zone, there are a surprising variety of ways that troops can obey orders in a legal and technical sense without accomplishing much of anything. Those after action reports of B52s mowing down hundreds of square miles of empty jungle did not come about because of incompetence, lack of training, or lack of capability. Inflated body counts relying on scraps of clothing, boots, or fingers are easy. Fire missions on imaginary “bunker complexes” don’t leave enough evidence one way or another. Within a year after Tet probably 25% of the front line infrantry were essentially in a quiet state of mutiny, just doing whatever it took to complete their deployment in one piece and get out. And it would grow steadily from there, just as the conscription numbers were rapidly beginning to fall and the political support for the war at home was collapsing.
And none of those guys had smart phones or TikTok.
Russian armor and infantry officers (at least the ones who aren’t in rebellion themselves) are executing Russian infantry in the field. Often enough that there is drone footage. They are welding chain link fence onto 1950s tanks and putting them into the field. It’s becomming infantry performance art. And just like the U.S. in Vietnam, once the rebellion has gutted force capability they abandon conventional tactics and shift to an indiscriminate air campaign.
