“An astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions” and the “largest theft of labor in human history” is what a Microsoft executive privately said about GenAi as shown in newly unsealed court filings. And these court filings get worse. These execs knew all along the immense theft they committed.

The challenge as I see it: 1) making sure the election isn’t stolen; 2) cementing this unpopularity not as a unique Trump feature, but as an intrinsic part of the Republican brand. Republicans must be made equal to failure, corruption, incompetence, cruelty, and authoritarianism in the public mind.

The media gave more coverage to a totally fake, invented idea that the federal government was withholding aid to Hurricane Helene victims in 2024 than to Trump actually doing it in 2025/26. Why did the fake story get more coverage than the real one?

After FDR cleaned up the mess created by Calvin Coolidge and blamed on Herbert Hoover, Democrats spent decades reminding voters what the two parties had done. In recent generations, that basic act of politicking has been deemed impolite by Democratic leaders. That needs to end.

holy moly the comments on this about dealerships
was trying to buy a car--a Ford, as it turns out--last year. I was prepared to pay cash but with effectively a small bonus to reflect the lost financing wins for the dealership. Two dealerships ghosted me, one didn't even try to sell me a car when I visited the dealership in person, one threatened me with physical violence when I walked out after they insulted me for wanting to pay cash, and the last (which was actually a minimally acceptable sales experience) threatened baselessly to repossess my car if I didn't give their sales team a 5-star review. And that's just the Ford dealerships. Toyota didn't know where their inventory was and couldn't answer basic questions about the car. Lexus refused to sell me a car (what?). Mini has taken on way too much BMW in their sales experience.
I'm not a regular car buyer, about once every 7-ish years on average, but I was astonished how bad it's gotten, and that's starting with a very, very low baseline expectation.Mazda dealership basically kidnapped my wife a few years back when she went without me. They took her keys to get the value of the trade-in and wouldn't give them back.
She had to threaten to call the police to get her keys back.

After the threats of physical violence from the sales manager, I started a shouting match on the sales floor to get my keys back, including recounting in detail what they'd threatened to do to me. I was happy that I saw a couple of people walk out.
The behavior amazes me from a pure sales perspective, but then I remember criminals are dumb and car salesmen are maybe a half step above criminals.

whenever someone tells you that it's simply impossible for police to be charged with misconduct or criminal charges, you can tell they're wrong because some cops do get charged regularly — when they are whistleblowers or reformers prosecutors are actually extremely eager to help drum them out!

Great point Matthew
Speaking of the former, none other than Yglesias himself — in reflecting on his support for the Iraq War some years later — once offered a genuinely perceptive comment about the nature of centrist contrarianism:

Being for the war was a way to simultaneously be a free-thinking dissident in the context of a college campus and also be on the side of the country’s power elite. My observation is that this kind of fake-dissident posture is one that always has a lot of appeal to people.

The Ohio Democratic party is censoring its own members from criticizing Amy Acton. This even includes the Pride Caucus chair who has to criticize her from their personal capacity. They've threatened to kick caucuses out that formally criticize Acton over her transphobic positions.
Holding the Line: An Update on the Fight for Trans Rights and Accountability in Ohio
​Over the last couple of weeks, our community has taken some incredibly painful hits from people who are supposed to be our allies. Hearing a statewide candidate validate anti-trans narratives and write off our rights as "settled law" is a flat-out betrayal. Let’s be entirely clear: absolutely no boys are playing in girls' sports. Trans girls are girls, trans boys are boys, and transphobia and misgendering must be condemned, regardless of which political party it comes from. The anger out there right now is completely justified.
​A lot of you have reached out asking why I haven’t made a loud public statement yet, especially given my role with the Pride Caucus. I want to be very clear: the public quiet right now is not compliance. It’s strategy.
​Behind the scenes, the work hasn’t stopped for a single day. I, along with many other advocates, have been on the phone constantly with state party leadership, coordinating with allied organizations, and pushing back hard. We are forcing these conversations to happen, and we are not going to let this campaign run out the clock or sweep this under the rug hoping we just forget about it.
​The harm was done in public, and I believe that requires a public resolution. I will not settle for vague, backroom promises. We are demanding real, public accountability and an absolute respect for our community's right to exist. Anything less is completely unacceptable.
​
Disclaimer: To be entirely transparent, I am posting this strictly in my capacity as a trans advocate, a legislative candidate, and a trans Ohioan living this reality every day. I am not writing this on behalf of, or as a representative of, my official role as Vice Chair of the ODP Pride Caucus. So, to the ODP compliance team: you can save yourselves the phone call, because I will not be taking this down.
