If we're doing the I-talked-to-a-guy genre of journalism, then I'd contribute that the most revealing insight from my visit to Aroostook County this summer wasn't in the County, but a quick stop across the river in Clare, New Brunswick because that made clear the difference between Maine and NB

Exactly. This is such a lie. Email had a purpose. The internet had a purpose. Search had a purpose. Everybody loved Silicon Valley in the 90s because they made shit that did what it promised. Now 3 guys who never made SHIT have ALL the money in SV. They're scam artists. Not engineers.

I'm still waiting to see polisci research that explores the relationship between online harassment (frequently gender-driven) over the past 15-20 years and the current political moment in the United States.

The A1 example of this is to contrast ‘16 and ‘20. Lots of liberal handwringing and calls to understand the other side after Trump I ( speaks to a value many on the left have) but after Biden won in ‘20 the other side tried to overthrow the government and the left was asked to understand that too. 😂

We are at part of the cycle where Republicans are about to lose badly, and so they pivot to talking about the rhetoric temperature as if there is no pathology to it. Every dang time, hacking a real desire for dialogue but asking nothing meaningful of the most vicious voices in the right.

And no acknowledgement that there is plenty of room for intense political disagreement and polarization if everyone agrees to the norms and laws of the democratic order. So the begging for dialogue is begging on behalf of people who don’t think, e.g., the reconstruction amendments should be honored

Trump had *lots* of other options for making himself colossally unpopular, and repeatedly TACOed right up to the edge of a disaster he couldn't back out of, each time concluding that he was untouchable because nothing too bad happened. He finally did it properly with Iran, and here we are.

FWIW, I think a fuckup on this scale in time to wreck them electorally was *almost* inevitable from Day 1, precisely because this is the Special Birthday Boy presidency in which there are almost no limits on Trump's madness and every proposed policy disaster has a real shot at going all the way.

When they get back in power, Democrats need to go all-in on higher education. We need a campaign of reinvestment in public universities across the country that makes the Morrill Land-Grant Act look like nothing by comparison *and* a GI Bill of Rights-style program of tuition grants.

One obvious problem here is that both sides are led by bullies who believe the only time anyone would ever make a concession is if they were weak. Therefore any overture or attempt at compromise is interpreted as proof they've got the other guys on the ropes and are close to claiming total victory.

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

The problem with education is that it's a solved problem. Students need small classes, individual attention, lots of writing, lots of feedback, access to a well-stocked library, time to think, and time to talk with their peers. We just don't like the answer, so we keep trying to do other stuff.

I could point to a dozen more instances and data points today that tell us just how screwed the Republicans. But here's my favorite: Suddenly-vulnerable GOP Sen. Roger Marshall of Kansas calling out...ICE! #KSSen

When ICE operates in Kansas, it needs to coordinate with our local law enforcement. Our sheriffs and police know these communities better than anyone, and working together keeps officers and residents safe.

I’m closely following what’s happening in SW Kansas and have been in direct contact with Secretary Mullin and local law enforcement as ICE executes warrants in order to keep Kansans safe.
