“the north went too far with some of the stuff in the 14th amendment, and we should reconsider some of the policies that were used to end slavery and being black americans into full and equal citizenship status.” -> if your argument can be reduced to this idea you should go fuck yourself forever

Dems already did this on immigration and got painted as open border communist globalists anyway. This simply does not work. Dems need to have a back bone and actually argue from their differences with conservatives rather than bending over and adopting conservative lite positions because of polls.

We spoke to bus riders who PAID THE FARE to ride the city's buses and still got farebeating tickets because the fare enforcement officers couldn't figure out how to check their OMNY accounts. Really makes you want to PAY THE FARE.

one thing about Chaya Raichik that's frequently ignored is that she started out targeting Black people—especially educators—before focusing on LGBTQ people.

Ugh, one of my grad school courses is making us do a group podcast applying the lessons of Nudge. Which means I may need to buy Nudge. Wondering if @ifbookspod.bsky.social episodes can substitute 🙃
