As Americans and Brits experienced the Summer of Love in 1967, Japan was swept by what might be called The Year of the Kaiju. These photos give a taste of how ever-present kaiju were in society that year, from schoolyards to labor protests.

As reported, the entire staff of 538 was laid off this morning. This is a severe blow to political data journalism, and I feel for my colleagues. Readers note: As we were instructed not to publish any new content, all planned updates to polls data and averages are canceled indefinitely. Huge loss :(

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

The "trolling" is also part of the point. It allows them to insist they're not doing what they're actually doing, until it's too late, and then they admit "of course that's what we're doing." Just like the "we're not doing Project 2025" -> election -> "of course we're doing Project 2025."

The nowadays feel like we are on the precipice of an American version of the Chinese cultural revolution. We are about to see former federal agency professionals paraded around and made to stand on chairs while a chorus of howler monkeys criticize them for their elitism.

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Lotta stuff you can urge federal Democrats to do right now that’s effective and useful, but the scale and impact of the constitutional crisis is so severe that they should be abusing parliamentary procedure to hold the floor in the House and the Senate until the coup ends. Waiting is dangerous.

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
