'The Hottest Circle of Hell Is for Those Who Stay Neutral' Yes, of course you have to pick a side in politics!

The debate was sharp, occasionally heated, enlightening, and definitely amusing. The results were...resounding. Watch for yourself.

i can feel myself slowly morphing into a social democratic george will. complaining about the lack of manners, consideration and due regard for others but from the left

spent this afternoon reading some early US history (as one does) and was reminded of the important fact that these people were almost constantly drunk as hell

WE ARE STILL IN THIS.
Wipe your tears.
This is the difficult business of hope and defying expectation.
We do not give up.
We run through the tape.

Y’all aren’t allowed to throw in the towel until I do. 😉

Big breath. Locked in. Let’s do this.

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

You’ll Miss the Pax Americana When It’s Gone The post-Cold War international system has its flaws, but the alternative is worse.

"People born after World War II take this system for granted because they’ve never known anything else."

Remember the old-school Burkean conservatism that reminds us it's easier to tear down than to build? That.

one of my iron clad beliefs is that there are very few actual “schemes” in the world. instead, there are just a lot of stupid, venal people and quite a few of them hold positions of real power and authority

We Know Who’s to Blame for Trump’s Evasion of Justice. It Isn’t Jack Smith. None of this was inevitable.

"The incoming Trump administration is about to run into a serious obstacle," Cass R. Sunstein writes. wapo.st/3ANiz6d

White masculinity is an identity, and playing up the defense of it — via the state, via norms, via violence — is identity politics.

Democrats don’t just need a 50 state strategy; they need a 365 strategy. No more reacting to politics. Set goals, know what you want to focus on every day, put that focus out first and leverage whatever wild shit Republicans are doing to make the point. Repeat until it’s drilled in.

The only reason anti-vax attitudes were able to take root in the modern era is because vaccines are so fucking good at their job people forgot why we need them

Am I allowed to laugh at this?

I love Archibald

idk how to convince people that the democrats are some of the most milk toast people out there

I'm sure this Cabinet of inexperienced grifters who excel solely at advancing their own careers will produce an administration that runs like a well-oiled machine.

I just got back from a very revealing 10 days in the US and here’s some takes many people don’t seem to be aware of: 🧵

this is what needs reckoning with

Toxicologist here for any fluoride concerns! The amount of fluoride added to water to prevent tooth decay is so minuscule that—no matter your age, size, or health status—you would die from water poisoning long before you could ever even start getting toxicity from fluoride. Fluoridated water is safe

Oh hey, it's me.

Sunrise over a marsh. The sky is crisscrossed with red and whispy gray clouds that reflect in the water below.

My mood.

Winter is coming.

of course once the build the infrastructure to do mass deportations they aren't going to let it go to waste. they'll find other targets.
