30-50 True Outcomes✡🇵🇸🏴

No I would absolutely put Jonathan Taylor in there

I always end up sabotaging my productivity on Sundays with how wrapped up I get in the NFL. Major character flaw for me.

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

Racial Resentment Among White Americans by Birth Year and Demographics This figure presents the same four-panel layout (education, gender, geography, religion) but for White Americans from birth years 1940 to 2000. Education panel: A pronounced divide shows non-college Whites with substantially higher resentment across all cohorts, increasing sharply for older birth years. College-educated Whites rise more modestly but remain distinctly lower, especially among younger cohorts. Gender panel: Male and female trendlines rise together, with women slightly higher in mid-century cohorts. Younger cohorts of both genders start lower and climb with age. Geography panel: Regional lines separate clearly: the South is highest in resentment, followed by the Midwest. The West and Northeast show lower levels, with the Northeast consistently at the bottom. All regions slope upward toward older cohorts. Religion panel: Protestants show the highest resentment, peaking among mid-century cohorts. Catholics sit in the middle. Non-affiliated Whites show the lowest resentment, especially among younger respondents, with a small rise among mid-century generations. The figure notes CES 2024 data with GAM-smoothed trendlines.

Those claiming Dems should retreat on racial justice aren't hard-headed realists, they're pushing against the electoral tide rather than leaning into it. The story of Gen Z isn't about racist backlash or red-pilled young men. It's the most racially progressive generation in American history. 🧵

People are so illiterate re how social change happens that they can't recognize that it's people who push other people to change their political calculus. WHY are your enemies having to shift & change course? What people & social forces have made them do so? They aren't "just magically" shifting.

Does anyone have recommendations for articles that discuss the systemic risk or market contagion associated with cryptocurrency trading?

I think this point is actually more applicable to their defense than their offense. The defense consistently gets torched and only bails itself out through takeaways.

To use an example of a better opponent, in the Lions game, the offense played relatively well. The defense got pantsed.

Quite literally yes, in the sense that it's the only thing propping up GDP growth.

Abolish private property. Phase prisons and police out of existence. All essential goods should be shared collectively. All production should occur through worker-owned cooperatives.

Don't Buy Starbucks! At any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike!

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This photo is horrifying.

If We Want Mamdani to Beat the NYPD, the Left Must Build Power We won’t be able to push Mamdani, or anyone else, to undermine police power unless we become a force to be reckoned with.

"Because Mamdani’s campaign is now the test case for progressive governance, how he manages the NYPD will have enormous consequences for left organizing across the country. Without movements strong enough to either pressure or protect them, any left politician is bound to yield to these interests."

If We Want Mamdani to Beat the NYPD, the Left Must Build Power We won’t be able to push Mamdani, or anyone else, to undermine police power unless we become a force to be reckoned with.

Zohran showed that a socialist can take City Hall—but the ruling class still forced him to keep Jessica Tisch at the NYPD. For Zohran to fight the police unions and win, the Left has to build power beyond the ballot box.

I've been frustrated that there hasn't been more discourse about the state/local NY Dem establishment and the national Dem establishment being divided against each other, which is what made it possible for Zohran to win. Seems like a lot of lessons in there if we understand why it happened.

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Apparently JFK's grandson just announced he's running

Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

There are two choices here.

Schumer is such a feckless leader that he lost eight votes on an absolutely critical bill.

Or Schumer gave them tacit permission, which is why the Minority Whip is among the eight and none of them are up for reelection next year.

Anything short of calling for Schumer to be replaced is performative outrage designed to mollify you

Worth considering why one would choose not to maintain a filibuster against Trump in order to ensure you have it in other circumstances.

[Did Schumer write this himself?]

To be a U.S. Senator is to be an institutionalist. Even Bernie Sanders cares more about his role and friendships in the senate than he does about his ideological project. If ideology came first he would lead the charge on ousting Schumer. But that’s his friend.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

That's barely what I'd call a win. Grijalva would be seated when the shutdown ends, regardless of how it ends (and therefore it's not a reason to concede), and the "win" on the Epstein files is just forcing Republicans to vote to conceal them, which they're doing anyways.

Senate advances plan to end historic shutdown in bipartisan breakthrough The framework lawmakers agreed to Sunday night would not guarantee an extension of the expiring Affordable Care Act tax credits.

I don't see how one could be this confident that the House won't just pass the same bill the Senate just passed. The Administration already implied that it was fine with it.

Even if that is some kind of 4-D chess move that the Democrats made, it's so tenuous that still doesn't really make sense.

"Between 0 and absolute 0" is way too strong of a prediction at this point.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

This is also why the full court press by much of the organized American Jewish community against Mamdani is not just wrong and Islamophobic, but short-sighted, as well. If Mamdani gets shut down, anti-Israel sentiment won't just go away. It will go into politicians who are actually antisemites.

In fairness, this the only Liberal Currents article I've seen so far that lives up to the blog's name, I guess....

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer
