it's kind of funny how the Abundance types have found a kind of affective allegiance with centrist establishment Democrats -- as both have gripes about aspects of left-liberalism -- but if you look at the primary obstructions standing in the way of Abundance policymaking, it's establishment Dems

Who could have possibly predicted that “abundance” would immediately become a Trojan horse for right-wing ideas

There’s another scandal buried in the Trump-Republican budget plan that’s not getting enough attention: massive giveaways to Big Oil.

I'm old enough to remember when supposedly serious people mocked Biden's pause on new Energy Department approvals of gas exports. Maybe there were real economic impacts that needed to be studied? Maybe dont just take industry talking points hook line and sinker?

#ResistanceEarth #BlueEarth Trump has declared a “national energy emergency,” asserting that the U.S. has an “inadequate and intermittent energy supply.” But most new gas pipeline capacity under development would go for LNG exports, not domestic energy needs. insideclimatenews.org/news/0206202...

Not a lawyer but I assume it's less than optimal for the government's case to be labeled by a judge as kafkaesque

“I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected. That child deserves our support. Don’t worry about the pollsters calling it distractions, because we need to be the party of human dignity.”

We’ll keep saying it: the Jewish community’s legitimate fears and concerns should not exploited to undermine core democratic norms, or otherwise advance discriminatory & unconstitutional policies. Doing so only makes Jews - and all communities - less safe.

Our Federal agencies are facing dire threats. The cuts to staffing and programs across the government has already been devastating. And now Congress is working towards further destruction. Today I spoke at a rally outside NOAA. Keep up the pressure. #SaveNOAA. Save Science. Save Lives.

we’ve learned today that the path to victory for Dems is crapping on labor unions, gay people, progressives, trans athletes and illegally deported immigrants … a magic mix that will pump up the electorate and propel Democrats to victory. Matt Yglesias for DNC chair!

Congressman Jake Auchincloss just said he “won’t take a lecture about corporate power from the left” because the left is “carrying water” for the big tech companies, who are the most powerful of all. What? Is “the left supports big tech” a weird new criticism I don’t know about? Mystifying.

love that it's called WelcomeFest and the agenda is "people we need to alienate to win"

i think this new york centric worldview helps explain why these people see national politics the way they do. parochialism of thinking that politics everywhere is the same as it is in manhattan.

Speakers at WelcomePAC have mentioned being dunked on by BlueSky posters no less than a dozen times in the first hour alone. This site has broken their brains

this story is just a great illustration of NIMBY nihilism. at core, these people have no vision for anything. they simply oppose change for the sake of opposition. (i also think there is an element of death denial here — if i can prevent all physical changes i can deny the reality of my mortality)

i've been a housing YIMBY for years. These yahoos seem to want to ruin that (awesome) movement with a bunch of sloppy national politics nonsense that is so so so cringey and embarrassing.

Peak NIMBY brain is trying to keep a neighboring airport open, even though the planes that land there are literally spraying toxins over your home, because if the airport closes then they're going to build affordable housing there. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/sant...

No one could possibly have predicted, at any point during the Obama and Biden presidencies, that the Republican Party would stop caring about debt, deficits, & the debt ceiling the next time they were in power. Absolutely no one. Totally unpredictable.
