When it's all said and done, I think a lot of Democrats will have to come around to acknowledging how much damage Biden did to his legacy, to the party, and Harris with his zealous ideological support for Israel during its genocide.

Science is not truth. Science is finding the truth. When science changes its opinion, it didn't lie to you. It learned more.

Lex Luthor blowing up a cruise ship filled with passengers so that the Justice League won’t pursue him is literally a “distraction.” The Justice League understands this but Superman doesn’t think “screw those people.” He prioritizes the vulnerable, whoever they are.

Typically, I'm a solve one problem at a time kind of person. A sinking vessel can have dozens of problems, but to save the ship you have to start with the worst and work the list. Trump and Vance should be impeached together. Due process is Supreme Law. They violated it, and showed further intent.

"the state can just summarily imprison someone without filing charges or holding a trial" doesn't just overturn democracy it overturns 1000 years of common law, like throwing out the entire legal system entirely and saying all people in America are the state's property.

in a way, everything about Donald Trump can be summed up in the simple fact that he can't just say he "enjoys golfing" every single element of human existence is a zero-sum game to him he doesn't golf like a normal person with hobbies. he golfs because it's a vector of white male businessman power

OK, non-finance people: crash course in bonds. Bond prices and yields moving opposite directions. Yields on US govt bonds [“treasuries”] are surging (ie the prices are falling). Prices are falling because people are selling treasuries at a massive clip.

COVID didn't "turn out fine." Over 1 million people died in just the US. People are still dying. 100s of thousands of people are still dealing with the effects of Long COVID. And the entire country lost its shit and is still unwell. Tariffs will not "turn out fine." Effects will be experienced.

I cannot get over the fact that DOGE is not a real government agency and yet they have the power to fire anyone at will and end entire agencies that are real. Even if they think it's coming from the president he doesn't have that power either. What the hell are we doing?
