So all of Downtown Los Angeles is now under curfew from 8pm to 6am. As a resident, I'm somehow exempt though I don't know how I'm supposed to prove it. Despite that, I'm going to get a beer at 8:30 wherever is open because I refuse to modify my life to support Donald Trump and the Republican Party.

If Zohran wins the Dem primary the media will run with "this was all meaningless, onto November where the real election will happen" and if Cuomo wins the media will go "presumptive mayor-elect Cuomo" and not cover the general election at all.

toxic number from a failed, lame duck president. if the republicans are confident in passing it it's because they're betting that they'll never have to face real elections agin

my sense is that the top headlines promoted by Apple News get somewhere between 3 and 5 orders of magnitude more readers than the body copy of literally any story do, and far more than that among low-info, persuadable voters.

Congress does not function, it's the root cause of much that is wrong with our politics, and that is partly because of poor design but also because members have been shirking responsibility for decades now

In addition to his analysis about whether the LA protests helps or hurts Trump, Bouie here is very good on explaining the current politics of immigration and the abject failure of the Democratic party to forcefully and vocally defend immigration.

This is a really good video, I think both for its analysis but also as a handy summary of where we are right now on the issues at stake in LA and the country.

Real world: - Trump team trying to create a Reichstag moment. - Trump telling military audience that LA is hellhole full of "animals" - Officials in Calif trying both to calm things down, and stand up PUNDIT world: - Is it smart politics? - Is Gavin running? - Doesn't Trump look strong!

honestly one of the most encouraging recent developments is the naked opportunism of Governor Gavin Newsom, and I pray that there are copycats www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

one big reason beltway journalists shouldn’t buy white house spin about los angeles is that the actual public opinion info we have doesn’t suggest the president has a winning hand here

the scientific consensus is not in favor of scientific racism. quite the opposite. the people who promote scientific racism use pseudoscience and rhetorical fudging - "we all know what the numbers REALLY say" - to win support from innumerate amateurs who are impressed with their own intelligence.

Yes, this is it exactly. "We were all thinking it"

Our whole society is going Nazi, and it's not because Trump has mass popular support - his support has barely changed in years - it's because our elites are unable to tolerate the uncomfortable experience of opposing bigotry, authoritarianism, and conspiracism in their own social circles.

I am not really a fan of Bluesky and certainly bear the brunt of some of the groupthink here, but Twitter has become a malignant cancer in American politics, a radicalization chamber rehabilitating the worst ideas in history - and NO ONE TALKS ABOUT IT, because they’re in the chamber
