"For the child born this summer in Texas, whose parents receive no documents, whose name never appears in any system, and who grows up asking why she can’t go on field trips, apply for scholarships, or open a bank account, the consequences are not legal theory. They are her life."

it's important to understand that they want to threaten the very essence of public education. the conservative plan - the plot to enslave america - requires them to destroy public education and replace it with private academies for the rich, religious instruction and prison-like schools for the rest

I'm so old I remember when Zohran Mamdani's policies were mainstream Democratic positions & not 'socialism' The party has been pulled so far right in Reagan's wake it views the simple idea of helping people as something to be suspicious of and hostile toward

This dovetails into a take ive had w/ regards to entering the 'failson' economy. We are ruled by a class of rich failsons that look back at their fathers / grandfathers and thinks; "How did those rubes suffer the indignity of having to pay for BOTH Bread AND Cricuses?!"

For months now we have been hearing Democratic pundits say, "Democrats need to meet voters where they are." Tonight, New York City voters seem to be telling them pretty clearly.

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Since the NBA season ended last night, here's my self indulgent take on where Sports Bluesky is atm. The TLDR is that crappy Resistance accounts are working like antibodies to flush casual sports ppl off this platform and the devs should address this if they actually want sports to take off here.

Nothing is ever enough. Palestine gave up 78% of its land and it wasn’t enough. Hamas offered to release the hostages and it wasn’t enough. Iran stuck to the nuclear deal and it wasn’t enough. No amount of peace, negotiation, surrender, cooperation has ever satisfied the Western war machine.

It is kind of darkly funny that Donald looked the American people in the eye and said “You know what? You people aren’t even worth the effort of selling the war,” and we looked him right back and said “Yes, you are absolutely right.”

Remembering this story from 8 years ago, about the differing values of rural & urban people. One reason I remember it is that every single factual assertion made by a rural person in the piece is false.

In some ways, what's sold to us as «generative AI» feels like a distorted mirror universe version of the promises of the internet. Instead of free and unrestricted access to all the world's knowledge, we got tech-oligarchs monopolizing it and turning it into an exploitable resource 1/

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

The problem is very simply that America - the nation - espouses that empathy and kindness are weakness. I don't know how you fix a nation that is institutionally proud of how cruel it is, how smugly it sneers at the rest of the world, of how its perceived superiority grinds everyone to paste.

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

I think I'm just old enough to see that the only thing that society norms have done is hold people back from their true happiness. Love who wanna love, fuck who you wanna fuck, live how you wanna live so long as you're happy and not hurting anyone. A lot of "normalcy" was designed to hold you down.
