Coates told Chris Hayes that the Democratic Party cannot continue avoiding the issue of Gaza and Palestine, saying the party is already facing a political and moral reckoning ahead of 2028.

People need to understand that Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben Gvir are open and enthusiastic supporters of genocide. It should be career-ending for an American politician to appear with either. Ben Gvir, for his part, idolizes Baruch Goldstein, the terrorist who murdered 29 Palestinians in 1994.

I dropped Roku ages ago. They were cheap, but they just kept getting worse and trying to squeeze any monetization possible leading to a downward spiral. Do yourself a favor and ditch them. An old PS4 or XBone are better streaming box options, or a Raspberry Pi 3 with Android TV if you're broke.

One last word before I reconfigure: Whatever you believe about the ultimate nature of reality...what we have now just CANNOT be the best we can do. It CANNOT be a state of righteousness. We know better. We've done better in some ways before, and we can still do better in other ways in the future.

This is why terms like "productivity" and "efficiency" are meaningless without context. It turns out AI is allowing software developers to be more productive at creating dog shit.
Plot that shows agentic AI has led to an increase in the volume of iOS apps since 2023, with a corresponding decrease in the volume of apps with significant usage and positive app reviews.

While publicly shaming bigots can be useful towards equality, after a certain point, you are just amplifying hate speech. It's a delicate balance that too many in media fail miserably at.

I really couldn't say it any better than @virginmonkboy.bsky.social.
The uncomfortable truth is that Stephen Miller accidentally named the weapon, he just uses it like a vampire with a law degree. “Federal law is supreme” can mean ICE cosplay raids and authoritarian theater, or it can mean the federal government finally stops letting red-state autocrats treat democracy like a suggestion box they can set on fire. Reconstruction failed because America got tired of defending freedom before the enemies of freedom got tired of attacking it. The next redo cannot be vibes, brunch, and another strongly worded norm. It has to be law with teeth, democracy with a spine, and a very clear message to every Jim Crow reboot artist in a statehouse: no, you do not get to gerrymander your way into permanent minority rule and call it liberty.

Populism is not automatically democratic or inclusive. Especially American populism. The U.S. has a long history of movements that mobilized “the people” against elites while defining “the people” in racially and patriarchally exclusionary ways. This is also a monetary history. 1/

People wanna say "Covid is over" or the "pandemic is over" or whatever, but I talk to people all the time who have been profoundly affected by it years later. People who get fatigue, people who can't walk, people who can't function.  So please miss me with this over bull, and start listening to disabled people.

A lot of work goes into mass harm, including the part in which blame is deflected or shielded. People imagine genocide has to be an active "hate" instead of simply "We are going to make you die and we don't care" as if there's a difference to the victims. bsky.app/profile/harm...

Yes. If you're a Democrat running for federal office and aren't on board with expanding the Supreme Court, or some other reform that similarly achieves an immediate end to the power of the court's conservative bloc, you're not serious about your policy agenda or governing.
