I work at the newspaper and just wrote The Great Awokening is over, I’m both 79 and 12 years old and make 260,000 dollars a year from a man who sent Katy Perry into space on a rocket ship. As you can see, everyone else is the problem.

The real distinguishing feature of Grant and Sherman was that they fought the Confederacy to fuck them up, not to placate them. That’s the exact energy Democrats need to have with the ideological heirs of the Confederacy in the GOP.

Side note: the NYT will edit out the filler words of every single male politician in a quote, but here they’ve left in every “like” and “kind of” in her vocabulary. Which is a choice, and not one I like.

That 2025 stint when every institution scrambled to bow before the eternally beloved god emperor's million-year reich was weird at the time and only looks weirder and weirder in hindsight. Way way way weirder than any of the alleged excesses of Woke 1

"This election is about the threat of trans kids" is the worst possible messaging for Dems yet so many candidates are leaning into it. No voter will flip R->D over it. Low-info voters read this as "you're focused on bullshit that doesn't affect me" while the base reads this as "you're an asshole."

a standing joke between me and my wife is that Americans reelected Trump because they think there’s a big PRICES dial on the Resolute Desk and Biden just wasn’t turning it down. it turns out the dial is real and Trump has spent eighteen months cranking it to 11

It's fascinating, to me, how many columns and articles were written after Biden's withdraw from Afghanistan about the looming humanitarian catastrophe that Biden caused and how many fewer were written about Trump slashing US humanitarian aid still being sent there from $3B/year to $0 in 2025.

we can argue about how to appeal to 51% of texas voters on issues, etc, but this Dem obsession with "winning republican voters by getting endorsements from 'elite' republicans" is bizarre. you don't throw the bums out by pointing to all the bums who love you, actually

"Post 9/11 unity" is such an insane thing to pine for. Every post-9/11 action that the unity provided was a terrible idea, either racist or authoritarian or both. Less unity after 9/11 would have been much better in both the short and long run

This is why I find so enervating the old centrist two-step; “Republicans are an existential threat to our democracy, and we will work together with them to find bipartisan solutions—as the voters desire” the fuck we do. We desire consequences and repercussions. We desire investigations and trials.

The news media instead told us that "it's not clear what Elon Musk's politics are" right before he became the #1 Republican donor in history then told us "Elon Musk is leaving politics" right before he was going to become the #1 Republican donor for a second consecutive cycle.

Republicans' largest donor (by far) is hosting a robust debate on his platform about whether Jews are white. Corporate Media will ask precisely 0 Republicans about their largest donor's all-consuming misogyny, xenophobia, antisemitism, he will instead by referred to as a visionary industrialist.

Yet another issue where every single person who touched it needs to end up in jail for us to have any semblance of the rule of law. You cannot have a functional democracy where the government creates a plan to literally throw away votes from places that don't support the incumbent party.
