Folks would Trump ever do something unlikely and stupid for the sake of cruelty? Experience and time say yes, but this guy condescendingly says no.

To all the folks out there saying fears over being back the draft are dumb because it's illegal, counterproductive, grossly unpopular,.... Y'all looked around lately? I'm not going to scoff at kids thinking our government might do something stupid and evil.

Just to state the obvious position as soon as possible, bombing Iran was a bad thing that killed civilians and made Americans less safe. The greatest threat to my family continues to be the Republican party.

The Democratic Party using racist smears against Mamdani, digitally altering his image, and accepting Trumpworld money to elect a right wing sex pest like Cuomo is a clear message from the Old Guard Dems: "We are fundamentally opposed to progress and we think our voters, who we despise, are stupid."

the thing with Mamdani is that he’s obviously an incredible political talent - the campaign he’s run has been extremely impressive even if you don’t like his policies the party should be delighted, and that they’re instead pulling out all the stops to beat him speaks volumes

No Congressional authorization of war. No national security reason to bomb Iran. Massive potential for blowback. If there is anything less than 100% uniform elected Democratic opposition to this, with outrage and promises of impeachment, I just don’t know what to say besides vote the bums out.

this is an extremely important point. “everything is up for debate” is moral rot. I am emphatic about telling my students that there are not always two defensible sides to an issue. sometimes there are! but sometimes there are more than two. and sometimes there’s just one.

I lowkey hate New York. Smells bad, it's ugly, and the cool things to do there can be done is any of the other top 30 cities in the US. If Mamdani wins I will take the time to reconsider this opinion. If it's Cuomo that shit is set in stone for at least 20 years.

NYT: To clarify, we reserve the right to withhold an endorsement when we are afraid of the consequences of offending a petty sociopath. However, if we know the guy we very badly want to lose won't exact revenge we're going to hit him with both barrels.

So a good use of moral hazard here is the next Dem president simply using eminent domain to take this land back at the original sell price (less any value removed, not counting any value added) and screwing the buyers to dissuade future buyers if the GOP does this again.

Is there any legal obligation to comply with the orders of federal agents that provide no identification? If a bunch of masked dudes in tactical gear and guns show up on my doorstep my first instinct is going to be protecting myself.

four of Brad Lander's political opponents praising him and speaking out in his defense shows that not only does this crew understand the stakes but also the incentive structure created for candidates by ranked choice voting is dope

There's a debate about if Lander getting arrested was a stunt? Of course it was a stunt, and it was a good one. He's got the race's best photo op, he raised awareness that they will arrest anyone without a warrant, and most importantly he put his body on the line to do good. Nothing wrong there.

We're capturing children off the street at gunpoint to get one last ride of garish nostalgia for an America that never was. A future dramatically better is available at the end of this, and the choice will be stark for anyone with a brain, but we've gotta be loud and uncompromising in the meantime.
