this is a good wake up call for elected Dems to realize what’s happening and what’s going to happen not generally, not in the abstract, but to them personally shut it all down and start acting like you’re in immediate danger, because you are

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

I haven't really followed this case, but Baldoni's lawyer thanking the "Internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity" kinda gives the game away on their end, right?

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

I’m one of the people who left Twitter because of “unregenerate racism” but I sure am comforted to know that Megan McArdle thinks I could do better

There is no way to construct a “popularist” immigration policy because what the public wants is literally impossible. They want mass deportations without a crackdown, criminals disappeared without impacting due process, and nobody to be above the rules but exceptions made for the good ones.

Yes every conservative social media site becomes a tropical rainforest of school shooters and Ponzi schemes but did you know that there is a left-wing social media site where people are rude to the nation’s center-right political pundits

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

An active stretch of weather continues in the southern Plains today with very large hail possible in west Texas. This will be the third consecutive day of operations for #ICECHIP. Again, if you find any very large hailstones, please refer to the following:

This is what "anti-DEI" means to the Trump administration. It's not "some corporate DEI measures are pointless or counterproductive," it's "women and people of color are presumptively unqualified for important government jobs"

Obviously Biden was too old but the idea that the only possible explanation for saying something nonsensical while speaking extemporaneously in public is “dementia” clearly indicates you have never spoken extemporaneously in public. Record yourself speaking for an hour and see if you flub anything

RFK Jr. says the CDC will no longer recommend COVID vaccines for healthy pregnant women. Yet doctors have found that stillbirths can result from COVID directly infiltrating the placenta — even for people whose COVID symptoms were mild or nonexistent. @deldeib.bsky.social‬'s story from 2022:

I hate that Brooks and others like him have positioned themselves to be heroes when they finally speak what they knew to be true all along about Trump and his political movement. We are forced to applaud their stating of the completely obvious because we need them on our side, unfortunately.

Fake-populist reactionaries are forever demanding that broad political coalitions that include advocates somehow force those advocates to shut up, supposedly in the name of maintaining a broad political coalition

They attacked, traumatized and fired the competent public servants, and now want your sympathy for being out of their depth.

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.
