After @levernews.com published my essay about @thebulwark.com today - and it trended across social media - The Bulwark’s Sarah Longwell pretended there’s no data suggesting neocons’ election strategy of embracing Liz Cheney had anything to do with Dems’ 2024 loss. That’s false. See the data here👇

The Bulwark Now Tries To Rewrite History

On the defensive, Sarah Longwell pretends Democrats campaigning with Liz Cheney was fine. Polling data suggests otherwise.

I've seen men run uphill charging .50 caliber machine guns, so I have a slightly decent idea of what courage looks like. This isn't it. Courage will never come from someone is a suit surrounded by bodyguards.

Only one of the words in “artificial intelligence” is relevant to the technology being described, so of course that’s the word they want to get rid of. Then again, the new term is now 100% inaccurate bullshit and deeply pathetic, which is at least thematically appropriate.

I’m seeing a lot of people hang their hopes and all their attention on the midterms. Electoral organizing matters, but full-time spectatorship won’t build the power we need. I wrote about checking in with yourself about where your attention is going and what you’re doing with it.

Resisting Total Electoral Absorption

It may be worth checking in with ourselves, from time to time, about what, if anything, our attention is cultivating.
