jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 15/09/2026So the both-siderism compares an actual candidate for higher office who doubles down on racist views with an activist podcaster who made a controversial statement. Those are equivalent? 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Can't read the article for the paywall, what do they say the Democratic equivalent is to saying an entire group of people don't belong in the US? 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My kid's a recent grad from a small liberal arts school and his experience was that different from my 90s experience -good teaching, connection with professors, engagement withsubjects. My professor friends at land grant schools despair about the lack of support for history and humanities teaching. 052
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 04/09/2026The current trade deficit is the same as early 2024 and going up. So no, not better than ever.... 010
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 20/08/2026And of course when Dems are in office they scream bloody murder about debt and deficits to thwart actual social spending. Hypocrites all the way down 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 18/04/2026Yes, funny how irreparable harm to the administration only happens with a Republican president. Biden's clear application of clear legislative text ("waive or modify" student loans) was of course a bridge too far .. 0174

jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 06/04/2026Among all the other clusterf***s of this war, almost missed this shambolic evac of military families from Bahrain - unplanned, no military resources available, dumping responsibility on local non-profits. Example 1 billionth that Repubs don't care about troops. www.npr.org/2026/04/03/n... 120
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 05/04/2026WaPo has had some terrible headlines (trump is "unorthodox") but this is bad editing 030
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 02/04/2026ask your guest why we haven't made a blanket policy to get rid of uncontrolled crosswalks like they did on sloat boulevard only aftermultiple fatalities? Driving and walking around the city. I'm always amazed at how many uncontrolled crosswalks there are still especially across larger thoroughfares. 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Funny how evangelicals have nothing to offer on issues like family formation, civic unity, etc. Those in power in red states and Congress do nothing for family leave, daycare, public education, etc but instead focus exclusively on culture war issues like trans in bathrooms and abortion. 050
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 03/03/2026The one truism for the entire trump-maga era: every accusation is a confession. 020
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 16/02/2026But it had some roots in reality. As a well off person who does all the grocery shopping, I do notice when eggs went from $4 to $6, as an example. Not Biden's fault (see bird flu), but noticeable. And big ticket items like used cars and housing also went up a lot, very visible. 010
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 16/02/2026I generally agree with Will that the specifics of inflation didn't drive political changes. My sense is vibeflation was a right-wing-media-driven narrative that helped change political outcomes (see how rw media studiously avoids tariff inflation). 030
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 07/02/2026Not just SF, reality in general is different from what Faux news and it's ilk project.. 010
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 01/02/2026Every accusation is a confession, coming from the true jack booted thugs who have repeatedly tried to steal numerous elections. 0160
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 29/01/2026Note the veiled racism/classicism. "People who didn't work hard"= poor and working class people who need affordable housing, and who in his mind drag down the property values of existing homeowners. what a conundrum - how to drive down prices without letting the "wrong people" get in the door? 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 28/01/2026But not going to reveal the names and faces of officers shooting people? Perfect DHS upside-down logic.... 010
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 23/01/2026I (and any sentient person) knew what you meant. And maybe they should be a bit more introspective before knee-jerking. As in, if it is happening in TX how come there's no public uprising like in MN? Maybe they should get off their a** and phone and hit the streets. 060
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 10/01/2026Too bad he gutted the CFPB which actually protected consumers from rapacious lenders. Oh and he pardoned a bunch of financial fraudsters too... 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 10/12/2025And they win!!! How? By being clearly FOR something (vile), and actively communicating across many platforms. That's the right lesson 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Let's be clear that the Rs have no compunction about both shaping public opinion (see trans panic, election security, economic ruin) often with a flood of lies and disinformation, and ignoring public opinion and ramming through unpopular policies ( abortion, health care, tax cuts for billionaires). 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Fundamental lack of knowledge that trade deficits are not a subsidy.....actually shows the opposite, that we NEED (ie consume) more of their goods and services than they need from us ... 000
jpknh.bsky.social @jpknh.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Of course it was ok when repubs ran to Amarillo Texas to get the injunctions they wanted...now it's a constitutional crisis. 000
