You literally cannot have a “deafening” crowd in a half full highschool gym!!!!! This is a highly regarded member of the DC press making an absolutely ridiculous claim and it’s just a typical day in journalism now

It is really remarkable that in a time of historic impasse in Congress, with both houses have been reduced to complete standstills despite a mounting number of political, economic, and ethical crises, both parties have spent months working to pass a bill limiting the pay of college athletes

Excellent choice sir! I think you should rally with as many GOP candidates as you can, especially the ones in the close races, the libs will be so owned and in no way will be celebrating you being poison to these campaigns

Giving a small, well-organized minority of people a heckler's veto over new housing that follows democratically-enacted zoning laws is not "democracy."

it’s so cool that Crockett isn’t campaigning for Talarico because she is “focused on downballot candidates” and then refused to do anything for downballot candidates and instead gave an award to Chris brown

If Republicans want to feel better about the electoral environment, all they have to do is come hang out and bluesky and theyll be treated to loads of doomers who are convinced theyre actually about to do great in five weeks

Seeing USC’s conduct after the play was what put me over the edge…they were high fiving, Stephens was talking shit and this was all when Dante Moore was very clearly seriously injured and still not moving

Dante Moore hit was brutal. Football had mostly phased that type of guy out and not only does that protect the players but it makes the sport more fun to watch. I did not need them to come back.

The targeting penalty by USC was one of the dirtiest hits I’ve seen in a long time and the fact that he was talking shit AFTER he almost killed Dante Moore and who was clearly seriously hurt, he should be suspended for multiple games

Under the current structure of the US Senate and the two-party system, I fear impeachment has long since ceased to be a real thing. Maybe the current two party system collapses and a window opens. I wouldn’t hold my breath though. None of this is a good thing, it’s just a thing that is.

I’m gonna say it: the NY Mag story on Troy Jackson is some stupid shit and perfect example of what frustrates me most about political media. Jackson is on a path to win and has had zero notable scandals some staffers are whining about how the candidate isn’t paying attention to them; who cares?

I don’t care that he met with Trump (he probably made the right choice!) but it is extremely irritating to know this would not be the reaction, especially this site, if it was Jeffries or Schumer doing the same thing. It completely exposes how many people use performative outage to gain clout here

Cities are living things and neighborhoods change as newcomers leave their mark. This is okay, even if it is often uncomfortable. The best thing we can do is build a lot of new homes so that new people can move in without displacing long time residents.

The thing is you’re actually allowed to move where you want and to mold your community to address your wants and needs. This is absolute. If your culture is so fragile that it can’t handle others’ in proximity to you, your culture sucks.

Yes what @alsorae.bsky.social said.
I would also add, they're moving into more and more spaces that are outside of the areas that transplants traditionally lived in.

Transplants are called transplants for a reason. They specifically don't engage in the communities they move to but aim to control and mold them to be more palatable to their own wants and needs.

Exactly why the reaction on here to the settlement is overdramatic. Yes, overall it sucks and bad that the conglomerates get bigger but WB is not the missing piece to the creation of an all powerful right wing juggernaut. The Ellison’s literally just bought a major news org and how did that work out

This came up in class the other day & my response was basically that on the impact of the news end i was less worried bc a) CNN already sucks & b) bc, ala CBS, audiences have agency too. But on the "should media conglomerates be this big" side its yet another dispiriting move in the wrong direction

This ad is a pro-trans dog whistle virtuously designed to mislead hogs. “Washington needs to stay out of it” the only thing Washington is doing is trying to impose a national ban, Washington staying out of it means “no ban”

Not one person on this website would change a single opinion about anything the Democrats have done or will do if Schumer and Jeffries made a big show about being mad, and it baffles me people think they would.

I am driven to distraction by how *not angry* so many of my electeds seem. When they sit around and blab about policy this and policy that and blah blah blah, what I hear is "This is an interesting intellectual exercise for me." You should be barely able to contain yourself in public. 4/5

If you'd like to know why Democrats taking the senate this year is so important, theres a high chance that both Thomas and Alito vacate their seats in the next few years.
