I'm so on board with Alex for mayor. We need change for the most vulnerable here in Albuquerque and he's smart, independent, and driven enough to do it. #abq #nmpol

"I want people to be safe and protected. I want to live on the right side of history. I am an immigrant. My parents are refugees from Chile. We fled a dictatorship and I was privileged enough to grow up in the United States after asylum in Denmark. I stand by those protections, always."

Also helpful to think about long run vs. short. In the long run, immigration increases economic growth and the growth in GDP per capital. All immigration.

I don't know how Bouie is so out of touch on this issue. The voters supremely disliked Biden's age problem even before his first debate. The Party and Team Biden circled the wagons until it was too late and got us trump. Why is that so hard to accept?

🧵 I was an Amazon shopper for years, but a few months ago I cancelled my account, and I’m finding that there are lots of benefits to doing so. Let me tell you why… Now, every time I want to buy something, I first go to Amazon and search the item. I see who’s selling it at the best price… +

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

Melanie is a bland, generic Dem without much original thought. Notice the below focuses on process and procedure, not results. This is how Dems are missing the mark.

This commentary is like hipsters: fundamentally misunderstanding everything they're commenting on and having no meta analysis whatsoever including that that's the world's shittiest Margherita pizza and thinking someone cultured would eat it in cultured company, and having bad taste. Jazz rules.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

There are legitimate issues with the pharmaceutical industry and how it's regulated; the wellness industry is even more predatory, like it's not even close. Woo woo bullshit on par with leeches and humors

A truly depressing account of the enormous time, effort, & resources that go into building anything in blue cities. Can not be exaggerated how much this phenomenon is crippling blue politics in the US. www.inquirer.com/real-estate/...

The default Dem position should be that nothing under Trump is valid. Trump didn't honor his predecessors' agreements. He didn't even honor his own trade agreements. He didn't honor Congressional appropriations. He doesn't follow laws. Clean slate. If you rely on him, your loss.

We’ve learned over the past eight years not so much that conservative content is more appealing, but that it is still trying to make an appeal. From @anamariecox.bsky.social:

If you’ve seen a Christian bemoaning the “sin of empathy” or Elon Musk talking about “suicidal empathy” and wondered what that was about, I have an essay for you tldr version is that they are wrong but I think that the details etc are pretty interesting and scary and speak to our fascist moment

I'm only lucky I work for a civil defense law firm. Our clients can't really afford to fire us during a recession lol. I'm bracing for the hell that's going to rain down on everyone though.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.
