I think these were more internal affinity groups than anything. Not something you would have heard of unless you actually worked for NBC News.

Thanks for the tips. I haven’t made it yet, mostly because I’m not sure what I’ll do with a half sheet of school lunch pizza. I may save it for the next potluck I attend.

Thanks for that recipe. I think I saw his episode on this when he made it, but never went looking for the recipe. I’ve been kinda wanting this pizza for a while, and I think I may actually try making it now.

I remember one of the schools I went to as a kid serving a version of this pizza with exactly two pepperoni on it, looking out of the middle of the slab like greasy little eyeballs.

I mean, California is also going backwards on LGBTQ+ rights, so it’s not all wine and roses there.

This. If Cuomo wins somehow, suddenly Trump will go around talking about how he’s a leftist agitator and send troops in anyway.

See what’s happening to the ADL right now for an object example.

That’s hilarious. They weren’t even demanding anything substantial, like the abolition of ICE or the removal of National Guard troops for cities. They staked their claim on budgetary issues related to healthcare… and Trump couldn’t even stomach that.

The primary is over. The general election is in November.

So far, Mamdani is out in front by a wide margin, though. I don’t want to count any chickens before they hatch, but it’d take a lot for anyone else to beat him.

I don’t know, I feel like if that was the case, he would have dropped out of the race and accepted Trump’s offer of an ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia. I think he’s crazy enough to think he can beat this rap.

Starts another show where? Paramount’s not an option for the same reasons they canned Colbert. Doubt WB would take him with the rumors that they are looking to sell out as well. He could go to an indie like Dropout, but that means a smaller scale production and no way he can hire everyone back.

The problem with media consolidation is that it limits options.

My Disney+ and Hulu subs just got pulled “indefinitely”.

And is known to murder criminals.

They are honoring Charlie Kirk by carrying on his legacy of hate and coercion.

Again, tell that to JB Pritzker.

That’s silly. There are a bunch of ways to effect change other than begging 535 assholes in Washington to do it for you.

These protests can also reach state and local officials like mayors and governors, who can effectively resist and repel federal incursions like Pritzker and Johnson just did in Chicago. They can drive awareness by getting the attention of people unfamiliar with or apathetic to the issues at hand. They can enable people to network and lay the groundwork for future actions. Hell, at their most basic level, they remind those of us fighting this fight that we are still sane and we are not alone.

If you’re going to just sit and wait for Congress to change things, good fucking luck with that, no matter which party holds your seats.

Who said these protests were to get the attention of House and Senate reps?

I mean, that’s definitely a useful thing, but it’s certainly not the only goal of a protest.

So how is that different for red states?

I live in a red state, and I plan to be at my local protest. But I take offense to the idea that protests in blue states are somehow too “safe” or not worth the time. The shit that has gone down at protests in Los Angeles should counter that notion pretty handily.

Honestly, the protests I’ve been to in my red state were way safer than the ones in LA, with way less push back from law enforcement. Probably helps that ICE isn’t operating in my city either.

Yeah, that’s the point of these protests.
