A great many people’s politics seem to revolve around suspecting that other people are looking down on them and then determining through their own actions and comportment to bring that outcome about.

Pleased to have been asked to speak at LAMA’s annual convention next week in Framingham about the “do”s and “don’t”s of liberal messaging. Link below if you are in the area and want to check it out! I’ll be joined by my amazing former Dev Director, and great friend, Tara DeSisto.

A way to understand MAGA is that America's most socially and emotionally dysfunctional people formed a coalition not around ideology but around their social and emotional dysfunctionality, then convinced themselves the reason people don't like them is about ideology and not their dysfuntionality.

One of the challenges democratic systems face is that the future is disenfranchised while the past votes with a vengeance.

A helpful key to reading this chart: UK citizens get a $5B tax cut and expanded access to US goods, while Americans suffer a $6B tax hike and British goods will be harder to come by.

Besides prices and joblessness, there’s likely a third thing on the rise — the personal wealth of Trump and his supporters, as they wreck the economy with corruption, self dealing, and economy-wide pump-and-dump schemes.

Because of the White House’s chaotic scramble towards stagflation, the Fed has no good options and has, therefore, today chosen to do nothing with rates. Raising them would accelerate damage to the economy, lowering them would further damage the dollar. It’s the dual mandate’s big trap.

This was an excellent conversation. A special thanks to Chase (get yourself on bluesky so I can tag you 😂) for sitting down with us! Give it a listen, and give Chase a follow on his other platforms!

The thing about firing everyone smart enough to tell you how bad an idea is, how much it will cost, or what problems it’s likely to cause is that your organization then begins to act as if such things are inherently unknowable.

Getting a passport if you do not already have one and making a plan are good advice. Those decrying that as white privilege in the replies are wild. Privilege is feeling like you don’t need a plan.

Trump anounces new tax hikes every week now to the cheers of “conservatives.” Political realignments are so weird to experience.

There is an institutional, as opposed to purely social, way for attorneys to “shame from the legal profession” those of their colleagues who behave dishonestly, maliciously, and/or unethically — disbarment.

Stability and openness are becoming political allies, and that’s pretty cool. A little less so because it’s in opposition to an entrenched administration hostile to both.

If the desire were to privatize PBS and NPR, the roadmap is easy — ease restrictions on their commercialization while drawing down public funding, as Reagan began in the 1980s. This vile and unlawful action has only one goal — to kill public media because Trump doesn’t like its messages and values.

According to a recent PRRI survey, 52% of Americans think Trump is a strongman dictator who should be stripped of power, while 44% think he is a strongman who should be given whatever dictatorial power he needs. www.prri.org/research/dem...

If Canada showed one thing last night it's that the best way to defeat Trumpism is by having a moderate center-left leader who can offer stability. www.welcomestack.org/p/what-canad...

First quarter of negative GDP growth since 2022. Lowest consumer confidence since the ‘90s. Will take another quarter of negative growth before the recession we’re clearly in (and that is entirely the fault of bad policy) is official.

“Hostile and political act,” is the sort of phrase ham-fistedly bodged together to make the peaceful seem violent, the sensible seem offensive, and the ordinary seem like a revolt needing to be put down. Adults suckered by such an amateur linguistic cup-and-balls trick should be ashamed (but won’t).

Exit Stage Right: Four months ago, Pierre Poilievre was set to be Canada’s next Prime Minister. Then, Trump became a cautionary tale, started a trade war, and the Liberals dropped Trudeau for a steady market liberal. Now Pierre doesn’t even have a seat in parliament.

It’s important to understand what words mean. When this admin and its supporters say “illegals,” they mean every immigrant, legal resident, lawful refugee, person here on a visa, and any child whose parents fit those categories. When they say “illegals don’t have rights” that’s who they mean.

Once tyranny clamps down on a people, especially in the era of the modern surveillance state, it is nearly impossible to cast it off without the intervention of external forces. The best defense against it, perhaps the only defense against it, is to prevent it taking root in the first place.
