Starting to get this sneaking suspicion that a lot of people who speak very definitively about Marx and Engels have not actually read Marx and Engels

this is really pissing me off. I get healthcare through the Obamacare exchanges. Now I have to worry if these Trump morons will randomly kick me off my coverage bc they’re too dumb to understand how insurance works

Austin Kidwell @austinkidwell.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

I’m sorry am I misunderstanding this? Are they seriously saying if you pay for healthcare each month but never use any services, ie pay a ton in but get nothing out, that is somehow fraud?!? wtf are these idiots taking about!?!!!?

I think we all kind of misremember 2024 polling as bad because we were in denial but as far as I know, polls were pretty much correct

The United States made serious missteps in our relations with Russia in 1990s and after absolutely nothing that we did gave the Russians any justification whatsoever to invade Ukraine

All you need to do to understand this conflict is read what Putin writes and listen to what he says. He is very clear about why he is doing all of this

It is honestly baffling to me how "read a transcript of what the Russians say and take it seriously" is apparently an incredibly difficult bar to clear for most "Russia Understanders"

Troy Jackson getting that nomination easily after he lost a primary for governor and lost a congressional primary by 50 points (in 2014) was probably a bad decision A good candidate on paper, a bad one in practice. He isn’t good at running in high profile elections

One important lesson from my career in politics that I want all of you to recognize: There's no secret polling data. The internals usually say the same thing as the public ones. The actual nonpublic data is which campaigns are a mess and which aren't.

The Knesset barred today the only two Palestinian led parties from running in the coming election. According to an overwhelming majority in the Knesset, the constitutional meaning of a Jewish State is a state where Palestinian citizens cannot run for parliament.

usually when i hear people say that the moon is a planet, i just have to shake my head. like, yes, if it’s a full moon? okay. you’ve got me there. a full moon is a circle and therefore a planet. outside of that, though, a planet either has to be a circle, like jupiter, or a dot, like stars

it’s even worse than this. Roberts cut a deal *with the liberals* to trade the exchanges for the mandatory Medicaid expansion, and they agreed to it because judges don’t know shit about policy or have any policy staff

probably the most heavily debated "policy" in my lifetime was Obamacare and the result of it was not that any of the debates got resolved, John Roberts just randomly took a meat clever and excised like half the stuff in it on a whim. Who cares if that's how actual policy gets made.
