Josh Gottenheimer finished like 4th or 5th in the New Jersey Democratic Governor's Primary. This is a victory for everything except horrible/disturbing AI. youtu.be/WnTLUYmYfRI?...

"Someone's always playing corporation games / Who cares, they're always changing corporation names." I hate to say it, but you've gotta hand it to Starship?

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.

the overall crime rate in Los Angeles last year was 3,115. in South Dakota it was 3,083.

I don’t know when people/the media switched from saying “immigrants” to “migrants” so much but when people are being raided at their place of work they live here and are building a life here and I think it makes sense to refer to them as immigrants

The only bigger loser than Andrew Cuomo is anyone who votes for him. For this.

State troops sent to Los Angeles by the Trump administration, without the approval of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were expected to sleep on floors or outdoors, a source told the Chronicle.

Jessica Tisch and Eric Adams were built in a lab with the express purpose to make regular civil disobedience into a crisis

I feel like maybe the framing of Trump sending the military to put down protests as a "feud" between Trump and Newsom is a little weird?

This story is horrifying. Scammers got people to pay thousands of dollars to hire a fake lawyer. To keep the scam going and keep the money flowing, the scammers also set up fake USCIS appointments, fake ICE check-ins, and fake court hearings. Worse, they told one guy to skip his real court hearing.

Revenge never feels quite as good as you hoped.

When you're starting to radicalize Josh Marshall...

1/ As a white person who has lived in CA for 20+ years can I explain a few basic facts to white people living elsewhere? A Chicano/Mexican accent doesn’t mean you’re undocumented or even an immigrant at all. Mexican flags at protests/events/businesses…it’s like the Irish flag or harp.
