you have to do good policy because it's the right thing to do, and then you have to find a way to sell it* to the public because democracy and accountability are important, but you can't go chasing the public. *or, frankly, to do it without them noticing.

85% of our potash comes from canada. My favorite factoid about how important potash is to agriculture in the US is that the first patent granted in this country, in 1790, was for "a novel method for the production of potash."

Every new Fetterman pants-shitting is treated as evidence that he is now a bad person. But long before this & long before his stroke, he chased an unarmed Black jogger in his truck, detained him with a shotgun, and continued to insist he had done the right thing. That somehow wasn’t disqualifying.

i get the sense that a lot of people don’t know that the term “ethnic cleansing” isn’t limited to mass murder. mass deportations targeting a race/ethnicity/nationality counts too. and we’ve been doing that for over a year now and our politicians won’t call it what it is

A photograph credited to Chris John Photography - featuring a guy dressed as Spider-Man at the top of a fray. Although he’s surrounded by goons in helmets and face masks, he’s reaching back to throw a punch at a white guy in a white tee with sunglasses, while a huge white cross looms teetering behind him. Also: a Black veteran in sand fatigues carries an American flag with difficulty, like he’s trying to raise it at Iwo Jima. I hope he’s not with the goons.

i don't think this is a hot take but if it is, it shouldn't be. opposition to GLP-1 meds is an attack on body autonomy the same as being anti-vax, anti-abortion, or anti-hrt. the existence of GLP-1 meds is a breakthrough for both T2 diabetes and obesity. wishing ill and rejecting it is anti science.
