"the excesses of wokeness" as a broad social phenomenon is one of the most made-up things that ever happened and every single time a progressive person did something obnoxious or mean or stupid it got blown up into evidence of cultural rot, down to individual college students and Goodreads bloggers

The other party is still largely occupied by people who think it is rude to raise your voice too loudly and are more concerned with ensuring that the whippersnappers stay in line and don’t challenge their sagely authority for accepting promises of debating rural healthcare policy.

Moving algebra 1 from 8th grade to 9th grade isn’t a good idea but it is not the same as banning middle school math cuz black kids were bad at it

one thing that's nice about canceling your New York Times sub is every week you get at least one or two stories shared on here that make you say, "yeah, it rocks that I did that, I only wish I could do it again." highly recommend you cancel yours if you haven't already

Virginia state Senator Louise Lucas (a Democrat who is the chamber's president pro tempore) just tweeted this:

Remember when Republicans drew Virginia's Congressional map so Black people were packed into one district and said we should be grateful they gave our community this district. NOW they can have one district and see how much they love it.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

But you shouldn't be too surprised when they say stuff like this: "You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today."

I don’t want to take any guidance at all from the secular society around us. And the reason I don’t is they killed 60 million babies. I don’t want to hear any more lectures from these people about slavery. You were better off being a Black person in Charleston, S.C., in 1850, when they had an operating slave market than being conceived as a Black baby in New York City or Baltimore today.

Huey Long told Standard Oil they didn’t have to pay taxes if 80% of oil refined in Baton Rouge came from Louisiana Fun fact: Long owned the company which leased state land to oil drillers. Sounds like a real warrior for the people, right?

Jon @jonparker24.bsky.social · 08/10/2025

Huey Long hated unions, was pro child labor (picking cotton was too much “fun”) and anti pensions (black people would have to get pensions too). He opposed anti lynching laws. His philosophy was “a quarter to the white kids and a nickel to the niggers” Sure Gabe, sounds pretty universal to me

Lorem isn’t wrong and, like he said, he’s being autistic because my problem is that I am tired of arrogant white men who are abrogated from any of the consequences while lecturing, with consistently barbed condescension, on what is and is not reasonable.

This is an underrated part of why Democrats are being stupid. A very significant number have not adjusted to the reality that small donors are a multi-billionaire in aggregate. If you can get them on board, you don't need the cocktail party set. So there's tension between the old ways and the new.

Even in the interview, he is pretty delulu about what Kirk was doing. He was going to campuses to humiliate liberals, not reach out to them, and Ezra uses this crazy-pants interpretation of what Kirk was to argue for what he wants the left to be and the framing just makes him wrong.
