It's understandable given the monopolized state of the internet now, but it kind of sucks that nobody's been able to bring that back in an accessible way

If you really want to open a depressing line of thought consider how many people in these cohorts only support liberal politics *because* the alternative directly attacks them. Like all the Republicans would have to do to convert them would be to just stop attacking them directly

this isn't some abstract argument either: all of our decades of experience with large, complex safety-critical systems shows that building a safety culture is the only way to manage and mitigate risk responsibly... and that's impossible to reconcile with a longtermist utilitarian perspective

And I'm sorry but I don't trust an org that hasn't even looked at the guy's Facebook page to have done this due diligence. And this context matters if you're going to let the guy claim he was a lifelong Democrat

In Ohio primaries are open in that you can show up on election day and request either party's ballot but when you vote the party of the ballot that you choose is recorded, available publicly, and linked to your name.

Someone should make a public records request and see if he'd registered as a Republican in any primaries. In fact, maybe it should be someone who worked for The Atlantic before they ran this stupid article!

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

This is a better epilogue to my January story about the private equity firm profiting off of ICE's cruelest flights than I could have ever possibly hoped for. CHICAGO: You went to the mat and protected (at a minimum!) thousands of immigrants from torture. Take a bow. prospect.org/2026/10/02/i...

In Chicago, progressive alderpeople held up a contract until a private equity firm was forced to dispatch Omni Air International, protecting thousands of immigrants from deportation.

To some people, books are somehow exempt from the same mechanism that slopifies every other cultural product. If I had to guess, it’s because they still associate it with being rewarded with pizza for it.

One day I hope to convince conservatives that we should enforce the rule of law, reduce the deficit, and not carelessly tear down the institutions prior generations built, but today is not that day.

The GOP literally cut funding to IRS enforcement so more people could commit tax fraud.

It cut funding to IRS because the assumption that the way to catch tax fraud is to hire tens of thousands of auditors to look through paper tax returns by hand is insane
