This is not a monarchy. This is a movement. You don’t get to storm the Capitol, lie to our people, steal our futures - and demand a crown. We say NO.

All Senator Padilla wanted was to do his job and get the questions his constituents had answered — instead, he was thrown to the ground and handcuffed. This is Donald Trump's America, where they attack our freedoms. We cannot be intimidated or scared by their abuses of power.

This is an insufficient statement. Is the problem the disrespect or what he was asking about? Get your shit together Senator.

Unsurprisingly, Rs are releasing montage videos that combine Dems calling for protests with footage of WayMos burning = ie, THIS is what they called for. But we're about to have a ton of peaceful protests that clarify what Dems are calling for.

Beyond the clearly ridiculous framing, the fact that this is a push alert is just obscene. If I shared analysis like this at work, I'd no longer be allowed to share analysis.

The message from the Left should be: tariffs bad, industrial policy good. Sure, there are niche cases where tariffs might be useful as part of industrial policy, but it really weakens the message to add qualifiers. Fight unreservedly against the thing destroying the economy.

Remember the task now is to disseminate the images of the protests to people who didn’t see them and project a sense of their size and significance. Huge numbers of people turned out today, let’s make their dedication count!

So much of post-material politics is that those who care the least about changes to their own material condition are the ones with time and energy to drive political content.

Goddamn I love a first principles argument. I also think that's the kind of argument that R's are quietly making - you should be safe. You should be rich. America should be first, etc. People seem to respond well to it!

Really interesting evidence that economic evolution that moves faster than accompanying social evolution can cause significant societal upheaval. Feels intuitive ofc but good to be backed up and especially in such a high stakes case.
