if you want to know what 'Zohran filling potholes' looks like at the federal executive level it's this. little but noticeable steps towards accountability. it doesn't make the structural crises go away, but it makes them a hell of a lot less noticeable and buys you good will.

centrists only talk about this stuff to troll Democratic proposals, it's the explicit frame of the Atlantic piece. it's like back during Black Lives Matter when a white guy would get shot by the cops and Republicans would pretend to care for a few minutes

in reality Democrats are the only US party interested in child benefits. conservatives and centrists hate the welfare state, they think the working class must be forced to work by the threat of destitution. so every policy must have a work requirement, which is impossible for stay at home parents

you could do it like a classic European socdem-Christian Dem compromise, we get free daycare, you get stay at home parent subsidy. if Republicans wanted to offer that bargain to, say, President AOC I guarantee she'd accept it in a heartbeat

Norway has solution to this actually, stay at home parents can get their share of the public daycare subsidy as cash, that way parents are not pushed one way or the other. the problem of course is virtually no one on the center or right actually gives a shit about parents

Love how transparent they are about how AI gives them information ecosystem control to spread messaging aligned with their political goals, and that's deeply desirable for population control, with the side effect of destroying all of our structures of information integrity and trust as a bonus.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

How the fuck are any of us functional. We’re 1% of the population, give or take, and we have Great Depression employment numbers
But Democrats in Republican-leaning districts are under pressure to respond. One Democratic strategist estimated that fully half of the GOP’s messaging this year has been around transgender issues — about the same time they’ve given the economy, data centers, immigration and crime put together.

Every single American administration since LBJ's has been opposed to [unilateral] annexation of Palestinian territory by Israel and settlement and settler violence, yet also every single one of those administrations let it continue apace without any consequences. This is by design.
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸A State Department official told me the Trump administration is aware of the overnight events in the West Bank village of al-Jalud and condemns the attack on Palestinian residents
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸“We condemn criminal violence by any party in the West Bank and support appropriate investigations, legal accountability, and judicial processes for those responsible,” the State Department official said
🇺🇸🇮🇱🇵🇸The official added that the U.S. is in regular dialogue with Israel about improving stability and security in the West Bank

Apple was too big to fit in the slicer so I cut the sides off first and then when the slicer started to cut the square apple into 16 wedges I realized I'd inadvertently created a Lament Configuration. 😬
An apple in an apple slicer as seen from above; the apple appears square-shaped because the sides have been sliced off. The apple slicer is a circular device with sixteen blades radiating out from a central point. The apple has been mostly sliced through so the top surface looks like a square with sixteen cuts in it, similar to one of the views of the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser. Slightly lower view showing how the apple is roughly cube shaped
