The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Friendly reminder that James Carville hasn't won an election since 1996 and we should treat his takes accordingly.

There is a style of management which does this, almost entirely defined by its lack of sufficient theory of mind to understand how other people would react to this.

The irony is that I was actually VERY skeptical about the files or the existence of a client list. After reading this, I'm not skeptical at all.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

As protests gain momentum, it's important to recognize and call out COINTELPRO-style behavior Many people who engage in this type of behavior aren't feds. They probably mean well. They are also engaging in behaviors that are so good at disrupting movements that the FBI literally weaponized them

$100 invested in the S&P 500 on Oct 27, 2022, when the Twitter acquisition closed, is worth $142 today. $100 kept in Vichy Twitter just paid off at $73. Almost exactly a 50% loss vs an index fund for his co-investors but Musk gets ever wealthier! Funny how that works out!

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

Can someone who's not Schumer explain why helping the GOP pass their terrible spending bill is a net positive? Because it will force them to break the government 10% slower or something?

It is 100 percent their fault. They intentionally shut out AOC in favor of an old white guy with cancer. They turned Harris's "fuck those people are so weird" campaign vibe into standard James Carville pablum. It is their fault. And we are all paying the price.

Sorta pitch-perfect Bidenism: take a high-profile Trump stunt, turn it into bipartisan law in the name of national security, defend it to the hilt until queasily attempting to walk it back last minute, then let Trump reverse his original position in a way that is both popular and corrupt

I think Americans who weren’t on TikTok don’t understand how thoroughly Democrats shit the bed on this one over the past year. Don’t worry though, that’s just 170 million people, including 60% of adults under 30.

My digestive system is like Aaron Rogers: A hall of fame career that peaked 10 years ago and has been on a slow, steady decline ever since, which it blames on everyone else on the team, and will go on delusional rants about soy if you call him out on it.

In the absence of public airing of the evidence of what apparently made TikTok so much more of a national security and data privacy threat than FB, IG, X, or YT, it just looks like those companies lobbied/donated their biggest competitor out of business.

The Berlin Wall coming down and the end of Apartheid in South Africa were basically the first world events I was really aware of. It really felt like things were getting better for everyone, and in terms of improved living conditions outside of the West, they absolutely were.

The thing that is bothering me the most about the post election coverage is the fact that Trump won the popular vote this year with fewer votes than he got in 2020 and somehow this means he has an overwhelming mandate.

Oddly, you never hear Fox News viewers criticized or even questioned for inhabiting a hermetically sealed bubble. It’s almost as if this entire canard is about the right’s ability to infect, infest, and dominate us.

Let's strive to make this a place conservatives would call an "echo chamber." Bluesky is full of diverse voices; the reason *they* hear an echo isn't because there aren't perspectives to hear, it's because they only listen to their own perspectives and we're no longer interested in absorbing it.

It's absurd and counterproductive just how hard Democrats work to portray themselves as bipartisan and happy to work with Republicans. There's no evidence it helps! All it does is normalize and validate Republicans! Lean into to negative partisanship. Tell your constituents the truth about the GOP.

Does anyone figured out how to explain how Harris got so many fewer votes than Biden did in 2020? I'm definitely not suggesting there was anything nefarious, and I'm sure there were potentially 11 million different reasons, but I'm really curious if there's any data yet.

The second one is Trump's primary strategy. The Trump team knows he's unpopular, hence minimal ground game and no interest in moderating message—the goal isn't to get votes. The goal is to gear up supporters for violence and to inspire GOP judges and legislators to overturn results.

My biggest complaint with NYC early voting is that the "I voted early" sticker came off my jacket after less than a day. Unacceptable. It should last at least the entire early voting period so I can feel smug.

In April, USAID and the State Dept.’s refugees bureau concluded Israel had deliberately blocked humanitarian aid. By law, Biden would be required to cut off weapons shipments to Israel. But he ignored them. 📽️ See the full video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV9J... 👀 Read the story: propub.li/3Xxtvfe
