Darkly hilarious that they sincerely believe both this and that gender identity is a fixed biological construct completely divorced from its social-political context.

nice that the unanimous message from dems re: noem is "good riddance but that's not gonna change anything, the problem is still there"

Pleasantly surprised that there’s a list of four Dems to cross the aisle to vote for something awful, and for once Tom Suozzi isn’t in it!

Yes I am sort of enjoying how people have completely lost the notion that there is such a thing as both being a victim of a crime and responding to it like a lunatic.

This is basically it. Even if everyone in the IRGC above the rank of captain dropped dead tomorrow of their own accord, you'd still have to deal with a devastated region whose populace now hates your guts full of low-tech explosives, drones, and (lest we forget) half a ton of highly enriched uranium

The PAC—or PMC, or mass intelligentsia, however you want to call it—is under proletarianizing pressures, is intertwined with the complex systems of modernity that are under assault from the right, and benefit heavily from an expansive social democratic state. Why wouldn't we be socialists?

Again, one of the things we've really gotta grapple with in this country is the number of educated white-collar professionals who think it's shameful to be an educated white-collar professional and gravitate to politicians who cosplay as the salt of the earth.

Like AI slop, prediction markets seem to me to be a symbol of moral decay. Even without the allegations of insider trading, few activities are grubbier or more cheapening than gambling on a war.

" more precisely, the median voter is in two (or more places) at once, depending on how you ask them a question. The median voter is like Schrödinger’s cat — both liberal and conservative until a question forces them to pick an answer."

PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.

LOAC and IHL weren't written by peaceniks.

They were written by some of the bloodiest people to have ever lived, in an effort to limit bloodshed they considered excess to military purposes.

There's a reason a ton of the rules are about POWs.

Airstrikes targeting Shia militia leaders south of Baghdad?

Once you're this far it's too late

The fundamental issue with settler colonialism isn't the *people move somewhere* part it's the *setting up discrimitory systems of bigotry and control and exclusion" part.

My *Democratic* opponent for the open seat in #CA14 donated to *this* Laura Loomer.

There is no version of this story where Rakhi Israni giving money to Laura Loomer is acceptable. None. It’s disqualifying.

[TW: graphic fracture, sound of breaking bone]

Sen Tim Sheehy (R-Montana) badly breaking the arm of a Marine veteran protesting the war Iran.

Senate votes down resolution to prevent Trump from continuing war with Iran War powers vote broke along party lines with almost all Democrats in support and most Republicans opposed

1. WTF is this photo? Murc's Law is not a constitutional provision. Total media failure. More free passes for all the Republicans 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

2. Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in 🇺🇸, & then it's Wednesday.

the people moral panicking about violent videogames were worried about the wrong thing

Fascinating branding decision to rename it the DoW and then start insisting people don't call them wars

Nothing wrong with a hard primary as long as everyone can shake hands & remember who the real bad guys are from now until November

I hope Crockett will do the right thing & hit the trail hard for him. She's a powerful personality & has a lot to offer.

Too-cheap-to-meter green energy is the exact opposite of degrowth, and socialist regimes have consistently been the dirtiest environmental polluters and despoilers in history.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

okay brad. slay

oh this is ridiculous

the real election analysts, slightly depressed center left zoomers on a niche microblogging website.

The New Miami Gold Rush

incredible that this article, which describes billionaire hedge fund managers & tech magnates all fighting each other to buy $50 million compounds inches above a rapidly rising ocean, doesn't mention climate change or the coming reinsurance crisis but i guess what is journalism

the public tends to think that undermining parties is virtuous and good, but in fact it is the opposite and just creates chaos and harms voters.

A renewable energy economy isn't just clean, it's strategic. Solar + storage isn't just affordable, it's domestic energy security.

No one can sanction the sun. No one can blockade the wind.
