The "things were better under Trump" swing voters were always going to be in for a rude awakening the second time around, because the second time around there's nobody in the administration to check his worst impulses.

You know that things are bleak when Mitch McConnell is one of the only people left who will stand up for decency.

Getting women and minority groups to pursue careers in firefighting at higher rates is a good thing actually. We need more firefighters.

But over in the right-wing X echo chamber, the angry NPCs are screaming about DEI initiatives because the LAFD Chief is...a highly-qualified woman.

Jack in the Box egg rolls have to be one of the most "unexpectedly good" things of all time.

Pelosi is just being petty at this point, at the party and the country's expense.

If Democrats spent as much energy fighting fascism as we do fighting each other, we might actually stand a chance.

Checked in on the other place. It's of course flooded with people loudly defending all of the insane nonsense Trump said yesterday about annexing Canada, vaccines, trade, deporting people in mixed status families, ending birthright citizenship, etc.

I mean. If you're going to write it down you can at least keep that list in a desk drawer or something instead of publishing it as an appendix to your book.

One thing I find interesting about the echo chamber complaint is that an echo chamber just won a presidential election.

Put aside the convo of whether itโ€™s โ€œgoodโ€ or โ€œbadโ€ for a moment. The far right has devoted enormous resources + time to building echo chambers & loathes spaces they donโ€™t control

It's 2016. The Warriors are the #1 seed in the NBA's Western conference. The Cavaliers and the Celtics are leading the East.
