The FBI being on high alert for terrorist actions is important right now.

Too bad they fired and gutted their counterterrorism capacity

Fun fact I just noticed: The U.S. had about half as much total job growth in 2025 (total) as during an average *month* during the Biden administration.
181k net jobs added over the entire course of 2025, versus average of 329k each month from 2021-2024.

Not a lot surprises me these days - but this kind of capitulation from Gallup truly shocks me.

This was an invented moral panic. The NYT and Fox News ran more stories about trans people than the Advocate, an explicitly LGBTQ publication. It was the exact same story in the UK. The media fanned the flames of a moral panic.

Democratic leadership is terrified of being seen on the side of the people of Minneapolis, least they lose the potential future support of pro-cop people whose support they do not and never will have.

Handing Out Free Tickets, Mamdani Says Theater Should Not Be β€˜a Luxury’

β€œWhen I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal β€” it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Democrats should run on the fact that their opposition is literally killing Americans and destroying the country.

It’s not hyperbole. That’s the message they should be blasting out to media every day.

They are killing Americans and destroying the country. They hate our freedom. They hate democracy

Democrats need to understand that they can just say β€œIt’s insane to threaten Greenland” and β€œI don’t think ICE should murder Americans in the street” and you don’t need to pretend to link it to the affordability crisis.

Say bad things are bad.

Don Davis is the rep in the district that just got regerrymandered in eastern NC to be much more red for 2026 - so a more liberal Dem might have more of an uphill battle in that new district. I hate that he voted for this and he's more conservative than I might like - but that's political reality.

For Academics: we really, really, really, really, REALLY need to stop requiring travel for career advancement and come up with alternatives to conferences because if we don't, we're pretty much damning international folks in pretty much any capacity. Like, this is BAD.

There isn't a single problem "solved" by edtech that couldn't be fixed with smaller classes led by well-paid teachers given real academic freedom

When fear is the only tool you know how to use, you're pretty much cooked the minute people stop being afraid of you.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

Not to be dramatic but the worst feeling in the world is when someone calls you so you can’t play on your phone for like 35 seconds until they get kicked to voicemail ugh

American public opinion is largely generated by foreigners who make money by lying to Americans over unregulated social media. Out of respect to those entrepreneurial foreigners, we will continue to treat their commodified fictions as one side of a reasoned American debate.

I just stopped by Carver high school to have a quick check on how the turkey dinner distribution is going. Very impressive! οΏΌJust over 100 families will receive the makings for a Thanksgiving dinner. Thanks so much to everyone who participated by donating turkeys, non-perishable foods, or cash.

Fantastic results for the Turkey drive for Carver High School. They’ve got bags of fixings and frozen turkeys set up for tomorrow. It looks like they will meet the goal of 100 turkey dinners. Awesome job everyone!

I really want to note, this is the least of it but, there's are no truth seeking AIs. That's not how this works, that's not how any of it works.
