The only person I know who had the means to move is a white man, and a rich one, with no kids to support as well.
Emigrating is difficult and expensive. The people who have the most to fear are mostly the least able to emigrate.

If youโ€™re still subscribed to the Washington Post, theyโ€™re laughing as they spend your money on bribes for Trump.

This post just gave me a massive madeleine in In Search of Lost Time experience.
Like a complete self assessment of the last 25 years of my life, in a few short seconds.
Like old man close to death, looking at a photograph of his younger self experience.

Although this should absolutely be required, doing it in swing districts and states will also show you why so many Democrats are spineless devotees of govern-by-opinion-pollism.
The folks that vote the most give you centrist talking points more often than strident or progressive values.

ryan is right. people HATE hearing this. but it is just a matter of simple incentives. if you want a more representative legislature โ€” and if you want a legislature more resistant to corruption โ€” then you need to jack up the salaries. serving as mayor of NYC should net you a cool 500K *at least*

An American Tail poster with lil ol mouse immigrant Fievel

Itโ€™s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

As someone who has been doing this for years, it might cure your overall loneliness, but you won't meet who you think.
Although young folks will vote heavily for Ds, the typical canvasser is someone over 60, generally retired, with lots of free time and less social obligations than young folks.

Thereโ€™s a sort of Dunning-Kruger effect happening where people who read widely, consider various perspectives, and put in effort to understand views they disagree with worry that they donโ€™t do that enough, while people who donโ€™t do any of that accuse others of being in a bubble and call it a day.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by hisโ€”and his campaign'sโ€”unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.
