[demands to speak to manager]

All voters look for showmanship, guts, and a sense that this candidate is fighting for YOU. I’m not sure why some Dem politicians think “we find acceptable middle ground with feudalists” is a better pitch

One cool thing about human rights is it doesn’t matter how they poll. (One cool thing about Matt Yglesias is…literally nothing.)

congrats democrats, you got played like chumps. but at least you're respecting the office or some bullshit

Not to like toot my own horn but *every time* I bring up tariffs on the radio I define them: "tariffs are taxes American businesses pay to import goods from abroad." Given all the lies and the fact that many Americans didn't take international economics 101, I encourage others to do this as well.

Even without a spike from tariffs, the cost of car ownership (gas, insurance, maintenance, and the car itself) jumped 44% from 2007 to 2023. (Source: www.bts.gov/content/aver...) Americans pay a massive surcharge for living in a car-dependent nation.

At least there’s still Tom Izzo, y’all.

Where are my carnegies, my rockefellers? Make me feel torn about hating your immense wealth because you do something good with it!

Your imposter syndrome should have died laughing at this point. You're doing great. You didn't author a bill to rename Greenland "Red, White, and Blueland." You can do anything.

if you are a visual artist, museum, organization or non-profit scheduled to receive a grant from the NEA for FY 2025 and the funds have stopped flowing, you can confidently reach me on Signal at karenkho.45

Remember when Neera Tanden couldn’t be confirmed to OMB because she had the temerity to be a little mean on Twitter?

The price of tofu has remained pretty reasonable. Just saying. 🫛

But the emperor has nothing at all on!

Somewhere in the U.S., there’s a scientist staring at their NSF/NIH grant application wondering why they bother. This post is for you. Science and society both need you. Hang in there and know there is a whole community supporting you.

Don’t get numb to it.

If a plea for kindness and empathy makes you furious, you might be a sociopath.

A president’s executive order cannot undo a law or a Supreme Court decision, let alone a provision of the Constitution. Forget that and you do have a dictatorship on day one.

solidarity forever with trans and non-binary people 🏳️‍⚧️

thats ok im already fluent in anxiety

They didn’t even sentence him to a fake shift at McDonald’s.

News being among most crucial examples of this but a reality across variety of social institutions is we need models resistant to capitalism, to counter ever more clever and rapacious technologies of financial capitalism. Democratic ideals can only be achieved by democratic means. People over profit

Why!

I try not to be a huge finger-wagger, but when I see people post Chat GPT info or AI generated “funny images,” it stuns me. You *do* get how many natural resources you just used for this little fun, yes? And how you have in essence validated that “demand exists” for whatever tf these are providing?

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

I wrote about the interview Harris’s top campaign staffers did with Pod Save America and what their comments tell us about Democratic Party electoral strategy. wapo.st/3BcmJ7O

GO GREEN

in these uncertain times, it’s nice to know we can always count on the CATApiller

Ride the bus!

Why would I want to watch two men fight on television? Pass!

There's a reason democracies don't let people who tried coups back into power.

If your form of politics is blaming solidarity with the most marginalized members of our society for electoral losses, count me out, get a life

anyway you should read me on the stakes of this election for our constitutional order (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2024/11/01/o...
