Just a reminder: it’s good to oppose assassinations. But you are under absolutely no obligation to treat Trumpists and Trump-apologists as people who are honest, or acting in good faith, when they purport to condemn political violence or violent rhetoric. They’re not sincere.

As we all discuss the online left eating itself and shooting itself in the foot while engaging in revolutionary cosplay I thought I might share this incredibly detailed account of the national DSA "Red Star" beef with AOC. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...

The real story behind DSA’s decision to unendorse AOCwww.cityandstateny.com A deep dive into the leftist fringe of the leftist fringe.

Following Jamelle Bouie on this site provides me with two things: 1. Insightful commentary on American Political Economy 2. An endless list of the rudest assholes on here to add to my block list

This may be an early test of whether Starmer has learned even the most basic lesson of Blair's failures (don't follow the US into a wildly unpopular foreign policy disaster)

US ‘pressuring UK to block ICC’s Netanyahu arrest warrant’www.theguardian.com Human rights barrister says US expects Labour government to continue UK challenge to proposed action against Israeli PM

I knew Britain was in rough shape, but I didn't realize they were down THIS bad

I’m so unhappy

With light rail extending into Shoreline and Snohomish County, the Interurban Trail could become an even more invaluable connection for getting around without a car. But there's a half mile gap standing in the way, and bike advocates are on the case. www.theurbanist.org/2024/07/08/a...

Lmao get fucked you riddler-ass racist clown

How did none of you inform me that this incredible picture from Rishi Sunak's final day campaigning as UK prime minister exists ???

In advance of the Seattle Link light rail opening 4 new stations in August, they've updated the maps in the trains. They've even included the next two expansions on the sign, which are currently covered up by those stickers. Much more elegant than the previous solution that covered half the map lol

the other thing though is that the NYT would FOR SURE come up with some anti-Harris narrative and beat it to absolute death for the rest of the campaign

*rides a bike for two days* drivers are like rabid animals. they couldnt even begin to comprehend convention to begin with, let alone the rule of law. in a just society they wouldnt exist, in the society im about to establish theyll be drawn out into the public square and beaten with bicycle pumps

Zimbabwe and Namibia are playing the largest scale "I'm not touching youuu!" Game in history

Being a sculpture artist must kick ass. Anytime you feel like your work isn't getting enough love, just whip up a monolith, drop that sucker in a remote spot and watch people go nuts for it once it's found

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Authorities have removed a shiny monolith from mountains outside Las Vegas. How it got there still is a mystery.

Kendrick Lamar teaches us that, in public debate, refuting your opponent's arguments point by point is less effective than identifying your opponent's single greatest weakness and maintaining message discipline.

this is partially true but it’s also only part of the story. southern states are red for two big reasons: 1. suppression of the black vote and 2. white voters who vote overwhelmingly for republicans

We have to boil our tap water before we use it for several days at a time, several times a year, minimally. If this is news to you, it’s time to start paying closer attention to how conservative politics are entrenched and spreading. We are not “red” - we are voter suppressed.

I think my favorite flavor of Trump voter is the person who a) is very upset about high grocery prices and b) is fired up about Trump's plan to deport 50% of the nation's agricultural workforce.

Maybe, but it doesn’t take much for me to think that Vladimir Putin should lose at whatever he does, or that the literal comedian hired to break up corruption fostered by Russia is probably pretty fine and should succeed. But I paid attention before hostilities started.

Friends, the “People’s CDC” is not a reliable source of information, nor are they a good faith actor. Neither FDA nor CDC want to restrict access to the fall booster for the 2024-2025 Covid season. Their claim otherwise is fear-mongering bullshit.

Critical support to America's only good car dealer

This quote from Representative Don Beyer, a car dealer (!!!), on Kathy Hochul's congestion pricing fuckup is 🧑‍🍳 💋. "It's like taxing cigarettes or alcohol. You tax things you don't like, and incentivize things you do like. And we don't like congestion."

FYI: this guy does not run an "environmental group", he runs a dump truck consulting company. He's still a huge piece of shit, I just thought this should be cleared up.

Some people don’t even notice when they willingly turn into bloodthirsty monsters. So they actually brag about it.
