All while pretending it’s about ‘government experience’ rather than ideology. We have an entire intellectual elite that is allergic to clearly stating what they think and providing evidence.

Good thread about one person's experience with the 50501 No Kings protest in Ohio and the peace police in vests. Every city is organized independently but you take inexperienced organizers and give them a high-vis vest, they usually start acting like cops.

Remember: the Pinkertons were evil. Not just "bad." Evil. And Kate Warne never saved Lincoln. The only evidence for the "plot against Lincoln" was in Allan Pinkerton's head. Tell you what: I'll do the Pinkertons thread tomorrow morning.

The Senate reconciliation bill retains the trans healthcare Medicaid/CHIP ban. Call your Senators, we still have a good shot at killing this provision. Hundreds of thousands of people rely on this care.

I wrote about Democrats' obsession with calling Trump's actions a "distraction," and how it reflects their failure to understand the modern media ecosystem.

The advice in this article simply isn’t true in our current environment. The expert quoted here: “And there’s nothing wrong with asking for some identification. A real-life police officer is going to be more than willing to take that extra step to identify themselves.”

Mamdani has one of the strongest pro-trans youth politicies I've seen from any politician this year. There are many reasons why NYT opposes Mamdani in favor of a credibly accused sexual harasser, but I have no doubt this is among them.

what do you want the organizers to order the critical mass of normies to do on what might be their very first protest action exactly? Storm the Bastille? Actions like this help build solidarity and support for more radical acts

this is a fantastic ruling but it's deeply depressing that the clearest-eyed condemnation of this administration's actions has come from the judges tasked with ruling on their legality and not the press ostensibly tasked with speaking truth to power

i am not particularly nihilistic or extreme, but elite impunity increasingly has me ready to spit on my hands, hoist the black flag, and start slitting throats, because so many of our problems are downstream from it

i might put this differently and say that it’s always been a struggle, but if you’re under 30 years old, i could understand if you think elites have always been this immune from consequences

The Times questioning Zohran’s experience kinda just boils down to ideology & racism but the idea of 33 being too young to hold a major political office is so funny. If he was a CEO of a startup that produced something worse than nothing they’d write a glowing feature on his new bold ideas.

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power

we have an elite impunity problem and a lot of the people and institutions that nominally oppose Trump will burn down their own before admitting that this helped produce him

Yes. Similarly, Elizabeth Warren staffers in 2021 getting a few jobs that would have normally went to ex-Obama/Clinton aides and Nikole Hannah-Jones and Ta-Nehisi Coates getting more acclaim than their white counterparts for a few years caused elite panics and endless "wokeness" pieces.

it is instructive to consider the careers of people 'cancelled' during #MeToo vs the women who spoke out.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

Over the next 8 days, you won't be able to turn on your TV, check your mail or watch a YouTube video without seeing a lie about our campaign. But we have the people. And the only thing more powerful than all this billionaire cash are New Yorkers talking to their neighbors.
