Not only was Brian Wilson a genius with immeasurable impact on popular music, but the entire album Surf’s Up feels like it could’ve been written for this moment. Give it a listen today. RIP to a true legend. music.apple.com/us/album/sur...

Cuomo already sounds defeated by Trump's authoritarianism. I will stand up for our city of immigrants because I'm not funded by the very same MAGA billionaires who put Trump back in the White House.

Our whole society is going Nazi, and it's not because Trump has mass popular support - his support has barely changed in years - it's because our elites are unable to tolerate the uncomfortable experience of opposing bigotry, authoritarianism, and conspiracism in their own social circles.

This is two global elections in ONE WEEK where the conservative candidate trying to become prime minister not only led his party to a big loss but lost their own seat in parliament (!) in huge upsets. We are global pariahs unseen since the end of the Cold War and need stronger domestic opposition.

Pro-Trump billionaires for Cuomo. Do not rank him.

One thing that is clear from these headlines is that the big news orgs don't have a vocabulary or strategy for how to report to readers when the President claims to do something he not only lacks authority to do but even the power to do. That's a very basic, foundational thing.

Schumer is incapable of acknowledging the extent of our democratic backsliding. He’s in denial because acknowledging it would require him to do his job in a different way than he has done his whole career. Being a senator in a democracy on the brink isn’t for the faint of heart. He’s gotta go.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

This is the most wretched campaign of deliberate, explicit persecution the United States has perpetrated against a minority group in decades. Many of the most important people in politics and journalism are busying themselves trying to figure out how little to say or do about it.

How are Democratic politicians so bad at politics? Trump is calling himself a king. That's a bad thing normies can understand. He's also taking actions to make himself king. Those are bad things that are harder to understand ... unless you have an easy way to explain it like him ... just saying it

if the president can say “i don’t like the department of energy,” and within a week it’s closed, then the constitution means nothing, and the president’s entire claim to power is the loyalty of the military. either he is constrained by the constitution or he’s a dictator, there isn’t a middle ground

Amazing that the lesson the media is taking away from all this is that American democracy is in crisis because we've all failed to be sufficiently deferential to the oligarchic class.

one thing not getting enough attention is how the space of possibilities is really quite open. we are one Senate vote from cutting child poverty by ~40 percent. unions are stronger and more militant than at any time in 50 years. the IRA lays out enormous potential subsidies for green public power

Some people have correctly identified that it's actually bad if Biden makes any positive case for the country, the economy, or his performance, because that would just hurt voters' feelings. Instead he should delegate all messaging to a committee of depressed 23 year old too-online leftist doomers

robert kagan is…not great, but the overall thrust of this essay — that there is a pretty clear path to outright autocracy — is basically right. and i continue to think that trump’s great advantage is the entrenched american belief that “it can’t happen here.”

Joe Biden is a perfectly fine, solid center-left president. The guy running against him is a corrupt proto-fascist criminal oligarch. The US economy is strong, wages for the lowest quintile are rising fast, wage inequality falling, inflation is under 5%. So naturally it’s a toss-up

I have very little patience for doomerism in general, which I tend to think is an embarrassment to every ape that ever threw a rock at a bear to protect the tribe. We are social creatures and the work never ends. Doomerism is a selfish concept that aims to destroy solidarity, and thus it is my enemy
