I think the basic issue with Stranger Things - and I say this as a fan - is that they've basically retrofitted it to be a movie franchise instead of a show.

The Ukrainians carrying out an operation this expansive and effective is them really telling Trump what they think of him trying to force them to make peace with Russia lol

I think it's easier to understand the current media environment once you understand that a whole bunch of ambitious people are looking at our descent into authoritarian oligarchy and thinking it's a great opportunity to audition as a courtier.

Union voters voted for Kamala Harris by 16 points, an improvement over Biden. Trump won the popular vote by a little under 2 points. So if you shift the US ~18 points to the left to make it so she wins the popular vote by how much she won union members by, this is the map you get for Harris:

There's been a lot of handwringing over the future of unions as they relate to Dem politics over the past year. Here's a data point out of Wisconsin: unions here are running ads to urge people to pressure electeds like Derrick Van Orden and Ron Johnson to oppose ending federal energy tax credits.

Hey folks, I have a huge request for Pride: Trevor Project is recruiting for a landmark new study. If you are LGBTQ, in the United States, and between 13-24 or know someone who is, pass this along to them. Trevor’s research has led to meaningful defenses of queer and trans lives. Take the survey

Like there's a difference between someone who comes into the library high and sits in a chair while staring at the ceiling for 5 hours vs. a belligerent drunk who tries to argue with other patrons or staff (or worse). But yeah, drug use can and does lead to unwelcoming environments for others.

I used to work at a library in a fairly populated city which gives me a perhaps unique perspective about drug use lol (and no, while this is a bit tongue-in-cheek, I do mean this)

The national media could very easily form a potent and true narrative about Trump's fitness for office and his deeper descent into conspiracies. The Biden cloning conspiracy Trump shared is a perfect springboard for such a story. They choose not to do this, because they don't want to

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.” But the Trump administration ended a program that helped provide fresh, locally produced food for tribal food banks, saying the program no longer aligned with its priorities.

#IASen is definitely a stretch for Dems in 2026, but Ernst just decided to pour gasoline on the fire she started with her bungled statement at a townhall. That’s a decision that suggests she and/or her staff believe she’s safer than she really is.

Like the thing is the GOP probably should have 55+ Senate seats right now given the structural advantages that chamber gives them. The fact that they don't is a testament to Dems mostly nominating good candidates + the GOP being addicted to nominating dumpster fires.

My worry about the Democrats isn't that they aren't going to beat Republicans in elections; they've been doing a good job of that since the start of the year and I expect that streak to mostly continue My worry is that the next time they have power federally they won't do what needs to be done

Joni "We're All Going To Die" Ernst is absolutely vulnerable if the political environment sours enough for the Republicans. Esp if you have a candidate like JD Scholten running.

Tweeted this on Inauguration Day and every day that passes I feel like this gets more true. Some behavior is shameful and should be regarded as such.

stigma is part of how society enforces norms, and ‘don’t be yoked to the fucking gills when making policy decisions at White House’ is a fine norm to enforce. give me a break. this wasn’t someone getting buzzed on their own time and showing up to work with it still in their system but functional.

Feel like an important difference between a rich person like Taylor Swift and a rich person like Elon Musk is that one of them is willing to burn down the whole word to avoid paying like 5% more in taxes and one of them isn't. Does seem to be, on a practical level, an important distinction
