It is possible for us to have this, too, if we throw our weight in sufficient numbers behind people with the will to see it through

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

I think it's really an underrated moral issue (let along a political economy one) that we've sort of let scams and scam adjacent activities (sports betting, car dealerships, most retail interactions with skilled trades, crypto, etc) pervade the economy from top to bottom.

An armistice can take weeks to negotiate. A comprehensive peace treaty can take months. No one on Earth who knows a thing about history or diplomacy thought anything could be resolved in six hours. This will confirm for everyone the extreme incompetence and bad faith of the American regime.

I’m very proud of my wife for sharing the details she did. I’m disgusted by all of it. She found herself in one of those moments where she didn’t care what she lost if it helped one other person. The reality is the truth don’t care who tells it, but she told it. Love you @allysammarco.bsky.social

Pushing 4 Trump’s impeachment is not abt impeaching & convicting him w this Cong. It’s about staying on offense with a visceral narrative that spotlights the reported crimes and corruption of this regime in the context of affordability hell. Dem leaders lack the strategic acumen to stay on offense.

I don't think I've ever seen an editor's note like this. Would be interested to know how the NYT decides this story, and not say any of the anti-trans stories for example, gets this kind of "we goofed and missed a lot of info" editor's note.
Editors’ Note: April 9, 2026
After this article was published, many readers noted that Medvi was facing legal and regulatory actions for its business practices. Our piece should have included that information to give readers a fuller picture of the scrutiny that the company was facing. We have updated the article to note a warning letter from the F.D.A. and a pending class action lawsuit accusing Medvi of violating California’s anti-spam law.

Ok, I’ve tried doing your setup with my own hands (ambi-snapper here, not to brag…). I think it might help reinforce my right hand snap, but I can’t even get the left hand to form that way. Obviously, I’m now way off-topic with regards to your original question, for which I have no explanation…

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Also, invest in shoes! Good, sturdy ones. Ideally running/walking shoes, but they make plenty of good shoes that look more professional if you need them for work/dress requirements. Starting too fast in bad shoes is a recipe for disaster!

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

Boise took its Pride flag down. But new art has popped up at City Hall. What it cost

There is no ceasefire, the U.S. is the only one not bombing. Israel is bombing residences in Beirut while Iran is bombing the UAE and infrastructure in Kuwait. All this, while the Strait is closed.

Thank you! This makes so much sense! If you read the article, that was the one county that swung right this election and I went to check it out and was shocked by how blue it actually was! But now that makes sense (and I’m not gonna read too much into that one rightward move)…

What we fail to say is also a message. Not calling for Trump's impeachment and removal conveys he has not committed offenses that warrant these actions. Or, at best, that you feel he has and are unwilling to do your duty and use the remedy written into our Constitution for presidential crimes.
