Science ftw

When they couldn't even put up a fight for the Voting Rights Act is when I realized they really don't care about winning. Their voter shaming bit is just an act to deflect away from accountability.

Susan Collins is about to win her 6th term.

"Investors love it" means I'm getting fucked.

You've been reduced to falling for the fake headlines of a sub that is a fan club of Destiny?

This is what you've been reduced to?

Not when you're concerned about keeping power and exercising it. I've already seen his support was fragile and it evaporated almost immediately.

How the most unpopular US president got reelected Polygraph | Newsletter n°288 | 24 Jan 2025

How did Kamala Harris lose to the most unpopular US president on record?

Winning wasn’t Harris’s primary concern; winning without the left and anti-war movement was.

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

From another USA POV, this is insane to still think this after everything we're going through with Trump. We never learn.

No, Canada should run from this as fast as possible. You should immediately be suspicious of any Canadian politician acting like US Democrats.

Also the lockdowns weren't as long as people keep trying to say they were.

COVID also crosses the blood brain barrier and damages the brain. So the lockdowns could very well getting blamed for COVID damage.

Despite failing COVID and presiding over 400K deaths, Trump signed the most generous expansion of the safety net in a generation (thanks to Democrats).

When the Democrats took over, tho, they decided to normalize the crisis (800K died) and let those programs expire as inflation was setting in. /1

It was a statement all right, but that statement had nothing to do with basketball. Glad the NBA (they directly control the W) and media (like you) got what you wanted.

Narrator: they have all their money to Lincoln Project and got wiped out.

“A Betrayal in Slow Motion”: Maryland Democrats Forgo Banning ICE Contracts  Maryland’s GOP sheriffs are rushing to join the 287(g) program and expand ICE’s reach, and a push to halt them failed in the Senate. Democrats said they worry about Trump’s threats.

Democrats in Maryland decided not to pass legislation to ban Maryland sheriffs from joining ICE's 287(g) program, which expands the federal agency's reach.

Advocates were calling for a ban as Republican sheriffs are rushing to join the program. boltsmag.org/marylan...

Oh no it doesn't bother me. Just making sure the standards are maintained. I was told many many many times that stat padding destroyed the integrity of the game.

Let's keep the same energy. We need to Grow the Game.

And a flagrant foul. This is where we call her a classless thug, right?

Also this was stat padded.

Just making sure we're maintaining the standards that Grow the Game.

Yeah, this is *exactly* how the US got Trump. This is exactly how Starmer tanked his approval rating in historic time.

This does not look good.

It never fails the people with disdain for any kind of democratic input because they're so arrogant to think they know best never live up to their own billing.

Lol, just stop. It still doesn't hold in 1865 because the US was still a majority rural population. That didn't change until 1920.

And large builders still didn't become a thing until post WWII suburbs started in earnest.

You said 100s of years, as in *at least* 200 years. Please read anything on housing development in 1825. The US wouldn't be an urban-majority country for almost 100 years.

Those were the days when most people still lived on a farm in homes they or their families built.

Doing all the work I need to expose Abundance for what it is. Thanks!

Just be a Libertarian already, it's like arguing with one already.

If it's at the expense of public good, yes there is. Companies should only profit in ways that benefit the overall public.

No, companies did not make profits off housing for 100s of years. Large builders are a relatively recent development, post WWII with urban sprawl.

Yes, thank you for repeating what was already said, and I and others already responded to.

"We want the exact same solutions as the private companies looking to profit from development, but it's totally going to be different this time, I swear! Please don't look at my donor list."

About freaking time!

NYTimes citing StopAntisemitism is no different than if they had cited the KKK as a civil rights org. Truly sickening they’re legitimizing this hate group.

@marcatracy.bsky.social do you even know the background of this group beyond your cursory description of their funders?

This has absolutely nothing to do with building more high speed rail or housing. The only purpose for this is to protect the current budding monopoly on AI and allow big tech to continue to sidestep proven financial and consumer protections.

Not shocking considering the players funding Abundance.

Tweets from Abundance Institute (@abundanceinst): May 8 2/ Our AI edge isn’t guaranteed. We need: More compute. More energy. Open software. Competitive markets. But above all, we need policies that unleash builders, not bury them in red tape. 3/ That’s what @neil_chilson told Congress in past testimony: → AI is an ecosystem, not a monopoly → Growth depends on grid reform, not red tape → Regulation should protect competition, not incumbents 4/ His message to lawmakers: To realize AI’s potential—for prosperity, health, and national security—we must cut bottlenecks, not build new ones. That means: → Fast-track energy permitting → Support open source → Avoid premature state-level AI laws

This should clarify that the so-called Abundance Movement is just the same-ol neoliberalism that delivered us to Trump. The state laws they're trying to block are consumer protection laws, guaranteeing everyone pays the same price, and laws that protect children from AI on social media.

Suddenly you're fine with using immutable traits to sort men out when it's race.

Ok, now a room of 100 men, identify precisely which ones voted for Trump.
