always weird running into people who believe the party that lost the election ran a perfect campaign, made every choice correctly and in fact there was nothing they could or should have done different, the voters failed THEM actually

Even with his usual self-serving spin, that’s a telling formulation. Check the excesses. Not stop unconstitutional things. Just trim around the edges sometimes, a touch of hey now that’s a bit too far on occassion, for appearance’s sake. That’s how he understands his job.

It's neat that instead of taking on entities that have been gradually eroding the quality and very concept of education for profit, politicians and pundits have spent the last decade focusing on threats to higher ed like "the existence of trans people" or "people who oppose race science on campus."

Never forget how hard they fought to steal the election. A party deeply committed to ending democracy and ruling against the will of the populace.

We need an aluminum statue of Steve Albini here. Unlike Columbus, he was an actual Italian American, was a great musician and recording engineer, and never committed genocide. Any Italian American group who would disagree with this is probably actually Swiss

When I said that genAI is inherently fascist, this is what I meant -- not just that only fascists are making use of genAI, but that genAI has a specific aesthetic that is now inseparable from modern fascism. Both genAI and fascists are anti-art, and as such they are ideologically aligned.

This is the kind of confident assertion that's so glaringly, obviously wrong I can't help but wonder what game-of-telephone mangled factoid was the original source of it. Tons of countries have civilian nuclear power without having nuclear weapons.

Just going to put it out there that appointing a CTA President with no transit experience, after the public has lost confidence in both the leadership at CTA in the past and the current Mayor, may not be the best move.

If you're available at 3:30pm on Thursday, and are interested in a transparent, nationwide search for transit leadership, this would be a good time to sign up for public comment.

you primary EVERY democrat (if possible) or more likely just primary as many as you can is because there is faction with an iron grip on leadership that needs to be displaced and you don't know who owes them what favors and need to put the fear of god into EVERYONE about the need for change

my priors on primary challenges is I'm far more skeptical of someone who hires a James Carville or Lis Smith than I am of someone like Kat Abu. because I want a different Dem Party and it's hard to signal more clearly "I'm establishment friendly, actually" than hiring people like Carville and Smith

The usual centrist approach is frame the issue around the question around whether the left or the right has “worse” antisemitism, but this approach ignores that the narrative structures of US anti-left and anti-intellectual discourse derive from antisemitic conspiracy theories.

So infuriating that the same people who were so wrong and who so many of us told very specifically why they were wrong are using the occasion of being proved wrong on exactly those terms to explain to us, in exactly the same sanctimonious tone they initially used, why they were right all along.

Being a leftist is fun because it's mostly you and your buddies very loudly saying "this system doesn't work and if we don't do anything about it shits gonna get bad" only to be told "shut up don't be unrealistic" and then shit gets bad and those same people are like "wow I hope you're happy."

Broken Record: You cannot sustain a functioning constitutional order if the general population is blasé about open violation of the Constitution. If voters don't care, your job is to make them care. This is not optional. If you don't, you lose even if you pick up seats in the next election.

Great, so Senate Democrats can come out refreshed with the hot new battle plan of trying to be watered-down polite Republicans then blaming progressives and the left when this fails to rally the Dem base, fails to pick up swing voters, and gets laughed at by GOP voters.

We can flip some if we run candidates who follow the tried-and-true strategy of "attack, attack, attack" instead of the proven-loser of "emphasize your common ground with Republicans."

A small but potentially decisive slice of American elites seem to think it is possible to have an authoritarian state regarding criticism of Israel and a free liberal democratic society on everything else. I think it is increasingly clear this is untrue. It is a package deal.

A world historical crime, taking place in full view, with the perpetrators so convinced of their impunity that they can brag about genocidal intent, and it’s hard not to agree with their calculation that no one will stop them and no one will be held accountable

It's darkly funny how little attention the masked secret police receive. Last year it seemed that the chattering class would never shut up about masked undergraduates. Perhaps they saw the encampments as more of a threat to their interests than the jackboots?

Cuomo's campaign is a conspiracy against the voters of NYC, to trick well-meaning liberals into electing a corrupt conservative. Ackman and his allies worked with the media to oust Claudine Gay from Harvard, and they're doing the same thing for electing Cuomo (inevitability narrative)

So Israel has announced their plan for a further attack on Gaza and included is the fact that they intend to force everyone out of the North and no aid will enter until everyone complies. International law is a joke.
