The political philosophy most reliant on high-trust people being pretty much the exclusive domain of the lowest-trust people on Earth is one of the great ironies.

“Being able to disavow your fellow Christians is a luxury” is something that I’m gonna start bringing up A LOT now cause so many fucking people try to do it when I talk about the evils violence of evangelical Christianity.

So why does Anne Lowrey think adding instant runoff to the primaries make New York not a democracy? I don’t have an unlocked link to that probably dumb column

I cannot imagine defending Al Franken in the year of our lord 2025.

right, shit like this. people still defend al franken and paint Gillibrand as some evil feminazi who undermined the One Good Man. if you want people to speak out against sexual harassers in the party, you need to back them up, not whatever this crap is.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

Gonna be honest I do not think Israel exists for America’s surplus white people, for very basic reasons that you might want to think about for like two seconds.

Everyone is melting into Surrealist paintings and carrying out random "assassinations". I guess that works if the Storm is supposed to take the essence of the era and turn it into a psychotic body-horror farce!

to be clear: when they write "Democrats" they actually mean Third Way and a guy who was a Deputy Mayor 25 years ago

one of the really challenging asymmetries in american politics is that democrats are asked to answer for the actions of every single hypothetical democratic voter in the country but republican lawmakers are not even asked about the behavior of their own elected peers

too much focus on Holocaust memory as central to identity in the US Jewish community too, I'd say—and in US public memory in general. 1

There is no danger of having a "second Holocaust." There is real antisemitism, and the Iranian government is a malign actor whose leaders are antisemitic, but there is no danger of a "second Holocaust," and this kind of rhetoric helps no one.

No, you can RSVP to these protests, it's completely fine. What is your threat model? Are you afraid the government will learn your name and that you hate Trump? They can already figure that out. Begging people to think about their threat model

Sen. Mike Lee surely knows by now that the Minnesota assassin is a Trump supporter and religious Christian. It's not like Lee falsely blamed the shootings on "Marxists" based on evidence or logic. He, and fascists more generally, are anti-truth, pushing blatant lies if it helps fight their enemies.

This is good, @padilla.senate.gov. But an opportunity was missed. Every D should be saying all over the shows that Trump has lost the public on deportations of noncriminals, that he admitted deportations hurt economy and that he's diverting resources from dangerous criminals. @kenmartin.bsky.social

The reason for this is because if it did, it would have to admit that reform of the hegemonic system is preferable to revolution/radical politics for trans people, and we can't have that, because it would threaten radical ideologies.

This is serious, rigorous analysis and it should change the way the media has been covering these protests. These were, in the aggregate, *massive.*

Hey if you wanna see white lady unaccountability in fine form? With gaslighting/ girlbossing/ and DARVO this is the article with a dash of “it’s your fault I’m mean to you because I don’t feel special” Not one time does she say sorry

WHY, though? WHYYYY isn't "the other guy sucks" enough for you fucking people? THIS exact mentality is precisely how we got stuck with the other guy who sucks. You wouldn't HAVE to march if you'd just fucking voted. It's a CIRCLE ON A BALLOT you ludicrous malcontents.

Something for Christian apologists to chew on: Quite a lot of the gospel involved Jesus dealing people who use performative piety to be selfish, authoritarian and harmful while defending spending time with a moral underclass. Can you please stop saying that such people are not "real Christians".

I appreciate progressive Christians asking what I think they should do instead of loudly and publicly declaring right-wing Christians to be “fake.” It really boils down to this: thinking your theology is so important to our society that it must be debated publicly is PRIVILEGE you should put aside
