Salman Paak is my Glup Shitto of all time. Community organizer type guy with an illegal radio and hinted-at Separatist sympathies? RIP king we hardly knew ye
#there is a world where this dude gets almost as much screen time as luthen#andor#my posts#also#my separatist feels#the separatists as a political movement (as opposed to the palpatine patsies/self-interested predatory capitalist leadership#which is SOMEHOW mad at the republic even though the republic gives their corporations senate seats)#remains THEE most interesting SW worldbuilding thread which Star Wars itself has 0 interest in engaging with lmao

I know that the chance of my state going blue is astronomically low, but there was a moment in the last presidential election where i thought Texas might go blue and I want that so much more.
#the latest poll I’ve seen for wv had trump with like 60-some percent#but that was against Biden so maybe the gap has closed a bit now#we’re losing our dem senate seat this year so you know…bleak

oohhh.... feeling evil might mess with some roman genders.......
#i read this book when i was little where one of the characters was born a girl but their mum brought them up as a boy and hid it from them#to avoid discrimination or something/i can't fully remember..... so obviously im now thinking of that .with some roman guys + their mothers#looking for opportunities to socially advance. like if the family used to be great but had fallen into obscurity and they needed a seat in#the senate to claw back some dignity and the mum has like six girls before saying 'fuck it' and just bringing the last one up as a boy#to get that seat.like#idk im finding it intriguing to think about..... obviously there would have to be a lot of precautions taken and stuff but i think it would#be interesting to explore!#not sure if i should make my own guy to do/explore/write this with or make up a sneaky little backstory for an already existing guy#either way. thumbs up emoji#blah blah

It is funny to me that the West Virginia Senate result reporting is calling it a flipped state because it's technically true but it's also a situation of "well, at least we can stop pretending we had a meaningful hold on that seat"
#uspol#like lmfao @ joe manchin caucusing with the democrats. the most useless fucking seat in the Senate#it's not good that we lost the seat for senate leader reasons but jfc as if that ever translated into getting anything done

I’m starting to think a lot of y’all (USAmericans) would be chiller about voting strategically for an imperfect candidate if you did anything political besides voting a couple times a year or, realistically, MAYBE once a year
#us politics#more realistically once every 4 years ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#and no this doesn’t include posting online#calling a senator once about something you care about will change their mind WAY MORE than sitting an election out#hell even if they’ll never agree with you (like my transphobic rep) you can let them know their seat isn’t necessarily safe

gotta say it feels like over the past ~3 weeks the Democrats suddenly realized this is a winnable election and are acting like it
#walz was far and away the best choice but i was bracing for shapiro or at best kelly#kelly is alright as mainstream democrats go and frankly better than you'd expect given political realities in arizona#but forcing an election to defend a senate seat in arizona in 2026 seemed like a very very bad move for democrats to make#and i'm glad they did not make that move and chose someone that can appeal to the progressive wing of the party

quite interesting that after frothing at the mouth about foreign interference during elections for the past 8 years none of these liberals have anything to say about israeli lobby groups publicly spending 23.5 million dollars to ensure primary losses for just two congress members who spoke up about an ongoing genocide....

who is barbara thompson?
she's my oc and the Love Of My Life, aka jack thompson's future wife, aka peggy's girlfriend, aka the political acumen behind the senator thompson ticket.
she and jack met in the canon that lives in my head in the mid-50s because she was a young lawyer and political advisor in dc and he was running for a senate seat that his father set up for him. she ended up being one of jack's campaign managers and they casually date for a while until they both just kind of ... decide to get married.
she is definitely the driving force behind senator jack thompson. everything jack says, does or lobbies for is run by barbara first and i love that for him.
"I think," Peggy says slowly, considering her words. "That you are much preferable to Vernon Masters, in terms of being the person pulling Jack's strings."
part of why i love barbara is that she's probably aromantic very much someone who is very matter of fact in appreciating people for their good traits without being blind to their faults. this, as you can imagine, is a good skill to have when you are married to jack thompson.
she and peggy sleep together on and off for most of the time they know each other; jack's aware of it, he's a bit jealous because he's jack but mostly thinks its kinda hot. jack and barbara end up having four kids, all of them girls, who grow up considering peggy to be like an aunt.
#redvanillabee#answered#i love barbara so fucking much. she's everything and more to me#i'm usually not a huge fan of creating ocs but i do think that she is a wonderful character and i adore her so much#she's mentioned in ''a thousand words'' and i think ive posted snippets about her too#barbara thompson#barbara is a political genius and she's tough as nails and she knows she will never win a seat as senator in 1956. so.#her husband is gonna get there in her place. goddamnit.
