I'm not the audience for the Smith hearing, but the main political issue here is that Republicans want the world to know that Smith subpoenaed congressional phone records as he investigated Jan. 6 etc, and nobody outside the Senate can explain to you why that's bad.

The point I’m making is not “recognize how good you’ve got it.” It’s that the gloom people feel today is *not* some inherent reaction to poor living standards or looming societal risks. Other societies have faced far, far worse. The pessimism is a social construct, an idea being spread somehow.

Future presidential debates should probably feature questions like "are you stupid enough to start a cold war with Canada" or "who pays a tariff"

It cannot be overstated how much Bret does not make an argument in this column. He does not list a single worthy book he thinks was excluded. He clearly has not read the vast majority of the books. His entire critique is just “these books are written by women and minorities, which is bad”.

President Trump inventing military application for his pet projects in Washington DC is the equivalent of Portlandia’s “Put a bird on it.”
Scene from Portlandia’s “put a bird on it.” Spoiler alert, there’s a bird on it.

The median price of a new house under Biden in 2024 was $395,000, and under Trump in 2026, it is $398,000—meaning the price has increased. Notice no effort to correct his false statement. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I'm going to be as clear and concise as I possibly can here. If you think Sarah McBride's presence in Congress, or her running for leadership, is anything except a net positive for our community, you are not actually advocating for trans rights or liberation. You are pissing and moaning.

And the very notion of needing to choose a strategic direction counsels against another idea you see a lot: that every vulnerable individual has unique insight into advocacy that must be deferred to. Those people don’t all agree with each other and effective advocacy requires picking the best path.

After some of the debates on this site over the last few days, I think it’s important to remember: Sometimes activists and advocates have to make difficult, strategic decisions. Sometimes they have to confront internal conflicts and resolve them. This is how they succeed.

Speaking for myself, I find the idea that allowing Ken Paxton of all people to become a US Senator is somehow in the best interest of trans people (or immigrants or Muslims or the country as a whole) to be self-destructive and risks further alienating trans people from our allies

One year ago today, Donald Trump began using your tax dollars for the cold-blooded murder of a total of 227 people so far. It was and is clearly illegal under U.S. and international law. And the American officials responsible for these extrajudicial killings must be held accountable.

You know, ordinarily I’d say centrally planned economies are a bad idea. But what if — and hear me out, here — what if we switched to a centrally planned system, except there was only only one planner, and he was a corrupt, senile, 80-year-old man who had driven multiple businesses into the ground?

Dolly Parton was they type of Christian that Christian Nationalists only *pretend* to be. Unlike Christian Nationalists, she didn't browbeat us with how CHRISTIAN she was. She just lived her life doing things that Jesus asked her to do, like heal the sick, help the children, and care for the poor.
