this is from a new report on a “third way” on DEI and it is unbelievably naive, which in my view is emblematic of the author, rich kahlenberg, whose willingness to extend good faith to obvious bad faith actors borders on gullibility www.progressivepolicy.org/a-way-out-of...

In the first two years of Biden’s presidency, Democrats controlled the House and Senate, yet couldn’t pass voting rights, raise the minimum wage, or the George Floyd Justice In Policing Act. “But Manchin & Sinema!” They did the bidding of their donors.

what always get me with these comments is like... OK, let's accept the premise that the problem is a nebulous bad electorate instead of politicians and their choices. Well, you can't get a new electorate but you can theoretically get new politicians and make different choices so what now

Democrats continue to put their head in the sand. Unwilling to even read how dog shit her campaign was. They literally ignored their constituents, forged feed back sheets and had no idea who was in charge of the campaign and alienated a whole swath of voters banging the drum of genocide.

Oh fuck, what a grift. J6 terrorists sue a DOJ controlled by Trump; Trump orders DOJ lawyers to settle for an undisclosed amount, both sides agree to an NDA. This can happen dozens, hundreds of times. Just an ingenious way to funnel tax dollars to far-right terrorist groups.

This is Israel's most read daily newspaper, openly calling for genocide and saying there are no innocent people in Gaza. This is who Biden sacrificed the country to arm.

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

There’s not a word in this story about the corrupt nature of this dismissal. Not a concern voiced, not a question raised, not even an acknowledgment that he’s the president’s biggest donor and he’s acting as an unelected, unconfirmed tyro wielding unchecked power over spending and the civil service.

It’s journalistic malpractice — to the extent that’s a thing any more — to talk about this Ed Martin letter without clarifying that every expert, other than administration hacks, thinks that Garcia’s statement was not remotely plausibly a true threat. It’s simply ludicrous.

American Pundits: It was an exuberant and controversial gesture of uncertain significance… Actual Fascists: It’s a Nazi salute.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Get arrested preventing DOGE goons from entering public buildings, get arrested going into public buildings to find out what DOGE goons are doing, get arrested on the floor during confirmation votes to protest the rubber stamping of unqualified candidates

Once upon a time, these were actions by a private company. Now they are actions being undertaken by a high-ranking government official, in connection with his public activities. This raises 1A issues that didn’t exist before.

Saying "You are fully retarded" to someone who's actually been to Space feels like a logical outcome of being the richest man on Earth, endlessly having kids w/ diff women (+spending no time w/ them) and finding your views of the world not from interacting with it, but the algorithmic slop you own

"My candidate of choice (who chose to ignore the wishes of her base and, instead, campaigned with bigoted war criminals like the Cheneys) ran a flawless campaign." After TWO losses to fascists the Libs remain idiots.

hey @mattyglesias.bsky.social, the piece that you link to here — my piece — does not say that “all DEI critics want to reimpose segregation” and i would appreciate it if you didn’t lie to your audience about what my work says.

Mitch McConnell is responsible for so much of what's wrong with politics today and is directly responsible for Trump's re-election. No Democrat should be there to "pay tribute."
