even with all its faults, NATO will def be discussed as an example of how strong defensive alliances can prevent nuclear proliferation; alas -

The confluence of "I'm deeply concerned about far-right units incorporated into the Ukrainian military" and "Critical support for Hezbollah and the IRGC" is really a fascinating one

“Trump spent years campaigning against risky and expensive wars, and criticizing hawkish foreign policy decisions” is just straightforwardly false. It’s completely made up!

Cuomo said he’d have every unhoused and mentally ill person off the street and in some sort of appropriate care within, like, 2 weeks. Which, unless he plans to just stuff them all in Rikers (which is NOT appropriate), is also magical. Did that get the same scrutiny?

Yeah, the goal is to get people who haven't been exposed to the politics of trans rights, not to deal with active transphobes You will not convince the hardened transphobes, but if effective you can get a normie-trans coalition against transphobic people.

at this point, if democrats won 240 seats in the house and the senate majority, it still wouldn’t be a win in teixeira’s book

There's no linear relationship between chaos and survival: the country with the highest % of Jews saved, Denmark, was also the country where the Resistance was extremely organized! Chaos means more potential opportunities for escape, but not necessarily high probability of survival.

I think the time to try and convert transphobes has well since passed. I don’t think they’re susceptible to logical or empathetic arguments

Taylor Lorenz has been on an obvious spiral for a while now, but what the actual fuck? A) she's reporting on protests in a video game B) "video game police violence" C) Taylor Lorenz is texting children about A VIDEO GAME PROTEST

When a public commentator sees a politician lie, it's better for them to point out that it's lie than to praise the liar, especially when that doesn't even accurately describe the politicians' actual rhetoric or record, but is something made up that sounds more appealing to the commentator.

the biggest unsolved problem in social media is that you need ambient discovery to make it worthwhile but ambient discovery also exposes you to things you don't want to see and people you don't want to meet

In an era when one side is flooding the zone, the other side cannot afford to be "strategic" in how they communicate, other than to make sure their choice of content makes sense. The zone has to be counter-flooded, and that is something the political left still does not understand.

NEW: A protester was shot and killed at the Salt Lake City 'No Kings' march. A man is in police custody, booked on suspicion of murder—but not the one who fired the gun. From video, witnesses and interviews, @schotthappens.com and I tried to piece together what really happened Saturday. Our report-

i think its most accurate to say that the people doing this aren’t hypocrites, they just have too much depression and inertia to do anything

This framing is beneath contempt. The Christian right and MAGA launched an unprecedented assault on the civil rights of a tiny minority and successfully weaponized the pseudoliberal establishment - led by the NYT - to provide it with a medical controversy pretext that doesn’t actually exist.

Again, arguably the most effective and damaging lie of the past half century is that republicans are the “good at economy” party

I am with Noah on this point: block Vance and any other high level republican politician on sight. This isn't like a normal right wing troll setting up shop: this is someone with the powers of the government behind him. Death threats are the LEAST of our concerns here.

people have said you should block vance because he's looking for engagement to share on twitter. the corollary there is that engaging with him is extremely unsafe. He wants to put you on blast and see if he can get his nazi followers to send you death threats. 1

genuinely do think there's an issue where dems are doing a thing but because of the media environment no one pays attention to it, so they get blamed for stuff the GOP does

Begging the American left to cease treating security relationships with Europe through the lens of adversarial relationships with Latin America or whatever is pointless for the same reason it is to beg the same from the American right: this is a country that doesn't believe other places are real.
