We are simply never going to make any progress in this country until we have a leadership that hates these people as much as they hate us.

The thing about Elon bribing voters is it’s really of a piece with what conservatism is offering people. It’s like we’ll drive down wages, eliminate unions, make life unsustainable for millions of people, but here’s a lottery ticket! Here’s a cryptocurrency based on the Rugrats! Here’s your chance!

It's genuinely a mass hysteria, there are tens of millions of people across the Western World who have convinced themselves of this, and they're going to tear down civilization trying to stop it.

Ah, American trade unions. The great grandchildren of men and women who fought and died for those rights, meekly handing the remaining scraps to business because of the browns and queers making them sad.

Begging bluesky ppl to understand that "this country is an irredeemable pile of filth and should be treated as such" is a) something that actually works against convincing ppl to fight for something better and b) lines right the fuck up with MAGA rhetoric

It’s really strange how Trump figured out that Executive Orders are basically “longer tweets that drive giant media attention” and the media hasn’t figured it’s being played each time they report on these as if it’s Moses coming down the Mount with stone tablets.

I haven't been able to follow the classified Signal chat debacle without thinking of Airplane.

all these people should be fired for this signal shit, for a large variety of reasons, but i feel like rubio hasn't come in for enough criticism, because while hegseth is unqualified for the job and does not have the necessary experience to do it, rubio actually is qualified for his, and does

Dems aren’t controlled by an ultra liberal class of activists and staffers who force them into unpopular stances or to spend time on low salience issues but every progressive candidate in america except like… AoC (?) seems to have this problem.

In light of the current OpSec scandal, it seems like as good a time as any to re-up the video of Pete Hegseth accidentally hitting a man with an ax on Fox & Friends like a decade ago

My guess for the Signal chat: - administration will argue that the discussion was unclassified - Congress will demand production - admin will classify it after the fact - Congress will review in classified proceedings - public debate will be calls for resignation, met with insults - nothing happens

The most dangerous thing about AI chat bots is how many men with political power treat them exactly and unquestioningly like actual Ancient Greek oracles.

one thing the Fed looked at when it seemed possible to pay off the national debt in the 1990s was running the Fed primarily on mortgage CDOs starting around 2005 and honestly we should be glad 9/11 happened and drove that idea entirely out of reach

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

The problem with the belief that Westerners are "brainwashed" with "Marxist ideas" from "a young age" is quite simply that a lot of those ideas, as anyone who has actually /read/ Marx can tell you, are unbelievably, transcendentally boring.

My most crank alt-history opinion is that a world where Dune went mainstream instead of Star Wars, thus causing American geeks to embrace quasi-Islamic woo instead of quasi-Far Eastern woo has a meaningful impact on the broader direction of history.

Donald Trump ended my Social Security payments, gave my grandkids measles, and crashed the plane I was supposed to take home from Florida. But at least I know those kids at Oberlin won't be asking for trigger warnings anymore.
