Didn’t expect this from Kos…

Well…cripes we lost twitter when ole elon took it over and now it looks like we’re going to lose Daily Kos, too…one of the last progressive sites left on the internet but they are now threatening the writers guild that represents the writers there that they are going lay off 30% of the staff and it looks like Kos is not operating in good faith or is willing to work with the guild to try to figure out how to make the site profitable again….all this from a progressive? I guess that once you build a business with the help of lots of others, you turn into an asshole and abandon the very things that made the place profitable in the first place…support of workers and unions and you learn to treat people like crap…shame on you Kos…geez…

A little good news…

Well…on a day where the stolen supreme court seat gave the repubs just what they stole it for, to gut unions across this country, there was a little good news hiding in the primary elections that were held yesterday. In every state, the dems got their turnout up by from 120-160% as compared to the repubs whose turnout was up by 30-40%. With the fact that there is more of us than them, this type of turnout, if translated to the November election, starts to telegraph that there may be something big going on…and we may even be able to take back the senate…and it that happens, there will not be another SC justice approved during idiot boy’s term…using the McConnell rule that the seat kept open until there is a dem president.  There is a an enthusiasm gap and I hope we can keep it up until November…impeach…
