You Know What? Maybe the Time Is Right for an AOC Presidential Bid She’s only 36, and there’s a good argument that she should run for Senate and bide her time. But she also could be a formidable White House candidate.

"From joining Sanders on the “Fighting Oligarchy” tour to endorsing Mamdani to her comments in Munich, Ocasio-Cortez keeps showing prescience and depth. Perhaps the right woman is staring right in front of us, and we should embrace her leadership." newrepublic.com/article/2065...

I am gonna go out on a limb and say that a Jersey dude so horrified that he went to his first protest and is trying not to cry on camera has a pretty good chance of staying radicalized. And that while Bluesky loves to pick apart things like this, this kinda video moves the needle for OTHER dudes.

Why MAGA Wants You to Think Slavery Wasn’t That Bad Both the left and the right try to co-opt it, but the real story of American slavery doesn’t serve any one faction. By Thomas Chatterton Williams

Instead of Pandering, Democrats Should Try Changing Voters’ Minds How can the party of liberalism make liberal ideas more popular? By creating a more liberal electorate. Yes, it can be done. Here are five ways how.

"Democratic politicians urgently need to adopt the GOP view of public opinion—that it’s movable, and it’s their job to move it." newrepublic.com/article/2058...

Europeans (except Germans) tend to think the continent can ride out Donald Trump, and that once he is no longer president US foreign policy towards Europe will return to how it was before

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

I use a gratitude app, and the community posts from all over were FULL of people saying they were thankful for Bad Bunny on Monday 😂😎

This academic year has been one blow after another. So many data resources I use to teach have just evaporated.

Hello! I've been lurking on Bluesky for years but finally decided to make it official. Posts before this one are migrated from my X account, with varying levels of success.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

The new leaders of the GOP are motivated solely by hate. They cannot stand someone from their own ranks endorsing normal things they've been brainwashed to despise.

This is a banger of a thread of the many things going on in the Bad Bunny halftime show. Definitely going to have to revisit the next time I run #CMN425 Entertainment and Politics, and also future work on [rap] music, the PRMM, cognitive elaboration, and political knowledge.

RFK Jr on what he'll eat during the Super Bowl: "I am on a carnivore diet so I just eat meat and ferments, and I'm very happy with that. So I'm probably going to have yogurt."
