I don't really see too much of a gulf between "revenge on the rurals" and "reduce subsidies on rural areas somewhat" policy. A mild pullback is an extinction-level event for these areas, and people are mostly choosing their preferred branding

see also: the idea that there is a strong contingent of people who are dooming too much and whose apathy is hurting climate solutions. by far the super majority of people are not worried enough about climate change and not doing enough to stop it great thread, this brain poison is everywhere

problem with this is that the level of consequences is different on a neighborhood level site than one ostensibly meant to be the global town square. the negative outcomes are greater and the resulting consequences should be as well. canceling as a thing cant take place on nextdoor like it can here

Meet Crumb, Button, and Clover. A friend in the Bay Area found them behind a gas station. Unfortunately, she isn't able to keep them, so if she can't find someone to adopt them, they will be going to a shelter. Can you help me find them a home? They are in good health and very tame.

right, that's the basic issue: you think that this is a bad idea for a good reason, and you imagine that the strength of your argument can be bolstered by adding bullshit to it, which it can't be.

if orgs like AIPAC and the ADL work for decades on a rhetorical project to conflate Judaism with Zionism and then the world's only Zionist state commits horrible war crimes the already racsist and the uninformed will either choose anti-zionist and anti-semitic or pro-zionist and not anti-semitic.

Absolutely horrific details about an ICE shooting in Minneapolis. A witness says a woman was trying to drive away from an ICE operation and the ICE agent "reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times." Bovino was there. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Emily Heller lives near 33rd and Portland and said she woke up to a commotion outside her home. She said she saw a car blocking traffic on Portland Avenue that appeared to be part of a protest against federal law enforcement operations.

Heller said she heard ICE agents telling the driver, a woman, to “get out of here.”

“She was trying to turn around, and the ICE agent was in front of her car, and he pulled out a gun and put it right in — like, his midriff was on her bumper — and he reached across the hood of the car and shot her in the face like three, four times,” Heller said.

Heller said it appeared the woman then accelerated and traveled about 100 feet before striking a utility pole and some other vehicles. She could be seen slumped over inside her car.

3. Leadership is about doing what is necessary, not just what is popular. Read literally anything our founders wrote about virtue, and the inherent risks to a society based on democratic processes to sustain the rule of law to the extent that unvirtuous people gain power.

Bill’s exactly right. 99.9% of climate denial is solution aversion. They don’t want to fix it, but they know that saying “it’s real and serious but I don’t want to fix it” isn’t a great message. So they go with the smoke screen of science denial instead.

Interesting. I was told that both boats that had been struck down were verified to be carrying narcotics and had connections to criminal groups, but we couldn’t see any of the totally real evidence. Surely fishing would be perfectly safe under such conditions?

they are wrong in the details but they are correct in that affordability is a problem, and has been for a while. sure, we can't touch grocery margins but we can go after housing, healthcare, child care and transportation which are the actual largest line items in people's budget.

groceries and gas are expenses that people have to deal with multiple times a week and are very easy to track on a week-to-week basis so any increases, even if they're a small proportion of their income, are very noticeable. these concerns are nullified if affordability generally is tackled.

I agree that people don't know exactly what they want and are not well versed in policy, but I also think it's fair to ask what you would do instead of meeting them where they're at currently? it seems flattening to say that low info people only care about groceries. they care about affordability.
