Looks like China will be kicking our ass for the foreseeable future. All because rich people feel like they don't quite have enough.

I still think the best idea for progressive donors is to just revive every alt-weekly in the country and staff them with 10 reporters each.

A reminder of how these assholes behaved when we stole THEIR shit. They came for kids’ MP3s. House raids. Absolute terror. So no, we’re not gonna let you steal OUR shit.

Democratic voters issued a massive rebuke of their own party last year by just refusing to show up on election day & instead of a major shakeup its leaders are spending big on consultants to find a Youtube salesman that can help a small group of septuagenarians no one likes cling to power.

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

“who are Republicans spending time with online and what do those people believe” is a story that the media has completely ignored for years and we might be in a different place if the public was actually aware how many of those people are outright Nazis

The Democratic Party’s age problem isn’t just bad, it’s much worse than Republicans’. Half of registered Democratic voters are under 50, yet half their senators are over 67. Despite claiming to represent the future, party leadership systematically blocks younger voices from gaining power.

We need an escrow option for donating to politicians. I put money in when I feel good about the candidate but I can take it out when they vote for stupid shit. The money releases at a date prior to their next election.

We need a fundamental re-education of what we call news in this country. Does it effect people's lives? That's news. Does it only hypothetically effect people's lives? That's drama.

This is a great way to never innovate from within. If you don't give people a chance to breathe and relax and be more than work, you won't be inspiring your employees to think outside of the box. They will always just be inside the box.

Dems are so lazy in their assessment of politics. They continue to believe they lost because they supported trans rights. They lost because they lack integrity. They continue to cede moral, emotional, and intellectual grounds to think tanks and polling and so they end up sounding like politicians.

This is the tactic of shitheads. They do awful shit and then, when they’re called out on it, they retort with a dumb technicality. They get to be shitty and then feel like they’ve won because they’ve made some dumb-but-thinly-accurate point.

I heard Stephen A. Smith tell CNN yesterday that "people are afraid they're going to lose their job for messing up a pronoun" and it really amazes me how many people don't realize they are awash in intentional propaganda designed to make them afraid of the wrong things and angry at the wrong people

Probably the purest distillation of Trump’s neomercantilist ideology that any time you import something you’re automatically losing. He can’t even grasp the concept of a mutually beneficial transaction.
