Has Trump not already gutted Biden’s biggest legislative achievement (IRA)? Kinda hard to say Biden got the results if that is the case

"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

Crazy when Spanberger just won on a campaign of “don’t let crazies tell you how to run your school” after Earle Sear’s trans fear mongering One would think Warner could take the temp of his state. But dude hasn’t had to win a competitive election in like 20+ years

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.

Just told my 10yo daughter about #DickCheney. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Dickanda forever"—which is the sort of pop culture cross-over I can celebrate.

Why does Will, who is a smart guy who likes to get into internet fights, deserve a presumption of good faith? He could’ve worded it like you did. He worded it a manner to invite angry replies that he could triumphantly dunk on. This is the stancil MO. I’m not new, he’s done this for years.

I'm a fucking historian of American social movements, Will. My complaint with you here isn't that you're sullying untouchable mythology. My complaint with you is that YOUR COMPARATIVE CLAIM IS A CATEGORY ERROR.

If I say Michael Jordan was bigger than LeBron, am I talking about literal size or figurative importance? I think you are smart enough to know how people may read (or misread) your words on the internet when you write them. And to anticipate the reaction they’ll have afterward.

The end of Section 2 of the VRA means that House elections need to be totally restructured. There’s no other choice. We’re not going back to no Black representation in the US House. Beyond unacceptable.

Talia makes a dumb argument that normies can’t center an effective protest movement Will says they can, because no kings (which has yet to achieve its goals) has more people than the most effective protest movement ever I’m incorrect to interpret this as putting the cart before the horse?

Jon @jonparker24.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
And he’s only talking about size to piss people off who will assume by “bigger” he means more important What other value does making such an argument serve?

Jon @jonparker24.bsky.social · 16/10/2025
It’s literally a pointless distinction. Like yes, the Women’s March in 2017 had more attendees than the March on Washington in 1963. No one serious says the Women’s March was “bigger” than then March on Washington. Doing so belies the importance of the latter and inflates the effect of the former

That No Kings could evolve into a movement with a similar impact of the civil rights movement is a fundamentally different claim than what stancil posits. And stancil’s claim, beyond inaccuracy, is genuinely offensive. People died to make each other free. Let’s pump the brakes on the navel gazing

In 2004, they would call black people “ghetto”. In 2025 they call us “watermelon people”. Equally racist. One is more crude, less risk averse. I’d say it only matters cuz the feedback loop which increases their crudeness also encourages them to act more audaciously in creating their ethnostate.

It’s a crime we don’t get much fantasy with that aesthetic Especially since it seems like most fantasy takes early modern politics and slaps a medieval aesthetic on top
