It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids. Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

This guy has kicked so many people when they’re down, I just know it.

The criticism of Matt Yglesias isn’t clever or thoughtful. It’s either meaningless reactionary anger or just made-up gotchas. I had hoped that was exclusive to the right, but Bluesky has shown me that Dems have a solid base of dipshits too. Maybe red and blue America is more alike than I thought!

The weird leftist pile-on of Matt Yglesias makes me feel hopeless about our chances against the right. If he’s the guy that liberals want to kick out of the tent what the hell are we doing here? How do you propose to win independents if he’s too right-wing?

Bluesky needs more ideological diversity, a thread: 1/8: I think the question of why commentators like Matt Yglesias, Lakshya Jain, Noah Smith, Nate Silver and Richard Hanania don’t post more, or at all on Bluesky is important. This would be a better platform if they did.
