I genuinely think this particular aesthetic trend (Good Art Is Didactic And Also Assumes You Are Very Stupid) is a non-trivial source of anti-woke backlash, like unironically. It is really really annoying, and I think it has provided wedges by which anti-wokes can radicalise nerds.

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.

Typical NY Times bullshit, they claim this cover every type of dad, but "left-wing history dad" is not included. Where are the sweeping popular history style accounts of slave rebellions, Spanish Republicans, suffragettes throwing stuff at the PM, things like that? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/09/b...

If I were on the JCS and saw this (clearly identifiable soldiers helping enforce domestic law) I’d be shitting my pants rn but my guess is they’re all just going to pretend it’s not happening

really good piece by @wertwhile.bsky.social on the state of the NYC Mayoral primary and the game theory of ranked choice voting coordination I would really like to know more about how different candidates poll against Cuomo head to head! www.natesilver.net/p/can-anyone...

My strong instinct is that Trump's threats against Americans' first amendment right to peaceably assemble is going to massively juice attendance at Saturday's protests. www.nokings.org

two things I think that are actually the same thing -tactical and messaging discipline generally makes protest actions more effective -a President threatening violence and creating chaos in response to protests is acting without tactical or message discipline and people probably won't like it

I'm immensely proud to be the #1 choice for Mayor of Senator Robert Jackson. "As a lifelong advocate for public education and working families, I know that when students are hungry or housing-insecure, they can’t thrive in school - or in life. Zohran understands that too."

"I have a masters in public administration. I have a PhD in Andrew," Eric Adams says about Andrew Cuomo. Argues he panders to Black voters - "I'm gonna go eat at a soul food restaurant and let everybody know I eat chicken. 'Black power.'"

the whole point of the military parade & all of these threats is to intimidate people out of peacefully protesting, which is not going to work

I have no particular idea whether this kid is any good or not, but if he succeeds we will get to listen to middle-aged British people attempt to say "Charalampos Kostoulas" many times every week so I think it's fair to say I'm rooting for him

Cannot be understated how corrosive this conspiratorial thinking about every minutiae has been. “Menswear guy is a paid op” is insane. It’s indicative of a populace that has no courage, self-respect, or confidence to have their own beliefs, and so therefore anyone else’s must also be insincere

People really don’t like violent protests…who they blame for having to be exposed to violent protests (real or imagined) is not straightforward though.

the outer borough machines and traditional labor orgs immediately buckled when it appeared Cuomo was popular after he announced if it turns out he's not that popular, and in particular if he polarizes center-left voters to rank a socialist to beat him, they'll have only themselves to blame

Adrienne Adams is a well-regarded and broadly competent moderate who came out of the Southeast Queens Democratic machine and she's basically getting more attention and support from the left than from anyone other than Tish James and the Clarke family
