It’s because progressives think you win through running a fucking campaign that mobilizes people against long odds. And the Jared Goldins of the party think you win by offering soundbytes and raising money to spend on ad blitzes.

There are two elements to the immunity decision that are particularly extreme in a way that many will miss: (1) motive is irrelevant and (2) immune acts are not just excluded from prosecution, they’re excluded from evidence. /1

basically it feels like the commentariat is composed of children who never seem to consider that politics is made up of many hard decisions and now, confronting the fact that maybe they made the wrong one, are throwing a tantrum and insisting the world instantly manifest their whims.

Time after time in every era, we find that the wealthy oligarchs *oppose* policies that would lead to faster economic growth and they welcome destructive reactionary economic measures because they'd always rather protect their power than grow their wealth.

What's cool about looking back at the history of college protests is that 19 year old students have been right about every single American war, and the esteemed Harvard educated opinion writers at the New York Times have been wrong about every single American war.

one of the coolest parent experiences is realizing your child has made a mental leap you get used to who they are at their current developmental level and then one day they say something and you realize, wait, they’re a new and more complicated person now and I get to find out who that is

There is nothing more American than being an immigrant. Full stop.

You can either acknowledge that immigrants are just like us and figure out how to best welcome them or you can view immigrants as a problem to be defeated and the Democrats are on the wrong side. Offer a new vision, cowards. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/anti-immig...

Nothing has radicalized me on immigration more than graduate advising. We are bringing many of the most brilliant people on the planet here, paying to train them as cutting edge scholars, and then making it pointlessly difficult for them to stay here and use those skills to benefit society.

If the border were open, they would be coming legally. Since it's not, here's what "coming legally" looks like. www.cato.org/blog/why-leg...

We know how to stop Covid (and it would probably do for a lot of other diseases too). We lack the will.

Israel has issued a censorship order directing media to “submit to the Censorship all materials dealing with the activities of the Israeli Defense Forces.” Read the full order here:

This is what @mguariglia.bsky.social and @jesspish.bsky.social were taking about on here the other day—that the police are consolidating their status as having super-citizen rights, a “baronial” class (as Jess put it) that simply has more rights than the rest of us.

Cops in Waltham, MA have shut down the city for TWO DAYS for a police funeral - and forced the schools to close at short notice because the cops commandeered the school buses for the event! We need to stop putting up with this madness. www.reddit.com/r/boston/s/p...

I think the best possible reason to celebrate Kissinger's death - to be as loud and crude and discourteous as possible about it, to never stop saying what he did, to stink bomb the funerals and piss on the graves - is to let todays war criminals know that we will do it to them too.

I guess.... Kissinger is a reminder to all of us just how little the judgement of history actually means, and how the way the rich, the powerful and the safe feted him for years shows who they truly are and what they truly believe more than anything they profess in office

I will say as I always do, we don't vote to elect saviors. We vote to elect targets, targets we can organize and win pressure campaigns against. (And to keep the fash away from levers of power.) Go vote in some targets today!
