The thing about the Overton window is that it just shifts by default if you let people propose insane policies like removing people with indefinite leave to remain without robust challenge. It doesn't just go away, it slowly leaks into the mainstream water supply unless you properly hose it down.

I always enjoy polls like this because you would never really get the sense on here that the Democratic base feels roughly equally positive toward Harris and AOC.

I’m so anti-AI that I honestly forget people pay actual money for this shit lol

There’s a principle called the presumption of regularity: it means that courts presume that the government will act lawfully and in good faith. With what we know about official misconduct leading to wrongful convictions and what we are seeing now, maybe it’s time to revisit this presumption.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Post by A.R. Moxon: I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Go team?

There is a bias among pundits to eye-roll and dismiss Dem opposition to Trump (such as the No Kings protests) as predictable. But in terms of raw numbers (both events and participants), what we're seeing is much bigger than e.g. the Tea Party movement was. Dems are a high entropy system right now

The Slow Death of the New York City Public Bench

Hostile architecture, like leaning benches and armrests designed to stop houseless people from occupying public spaces, makes things terrible for everyone.

A screenshot of a post from Andrew Cuomo’s verified X (Twitter) account. The tweet reads: “Today we launched Southeast Asians for Cuomo — a powerful & diverse multi-denominational grassroots coalition of Hindus, Muslims & Sikhs — uniting Southeast Asian New Yorkers behind our vision for a safer, fairer, more affordable city. NYC’s greatest strength is its diversity — and together we’ll make sure its best days are still ahead. #SouthAsiansForCuomo #Queens #NYC #FightAndDeliver” Below the text are four photos arranged in a collage: 1. Top left: Andrew Cuomo speaking at a podium with a blue and orange sign that reads “South Asians for CUOMO.” Several men are seated behind him, one wearing a traditional South Asian kurta. 2. Top right: A group of people holding blue signs that say “Hindus for CUOMO” and “South Asians for CUOMO,” some of which include Hindi text. The attendees are smiling and raising their hands. 3. Bottom left: An audience of mostly older South Asian men seated, clapping and holding signs; the background is decorated with orange and yellow fabric. 4. Bottom right: A woman in an orange outfit smiling and clapping among a diverse group of South Asian attendees.

Holy cow who is running Andrew Cuomo’s campaign and how do they not understand the difference between South Asians and Southeast Asians.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

And everyone knows it's a wrong-rocking. There is actually nothing short of Mamdani endorsing apartheid in Palestine that he could do to assuage the never-defined and never quantified ask that he reassure a never-defined and never quantified set of Jewish voters that he is not Adolf Hitler.

An institutional-wide wrong rock-ing of Mamdani purely because of his racial and religious background combined with his sympathy towards Palestinians.

I think once Mamdani is formally the winner of this race people will be more willing to admit it, but the truth is that the real issue isn't the lack of endorsement from Schumer and Jeffries, it's that Schumers, Jeffries, and everyone else has made racially charged unfulfillable demands of Mamdani.

9. Now, Sen. Markey has taken to the stage draped in a trans flag at one of his most visible events this year. Despite efforts to push the party right on trans issues, a growing number of Dems are doing the opposite: making a full-throated defense of trans rights central to their political identity.

As Some Dems Run From Trans People, Zohran Mamdani's Latest Ad Shows Real Support The 2 minute ad features Sylvia Rivera's story, Mamdani's commitment to transgender people, and even music from the legendary late trans artist SOPHIE.

7. The reaction to Moulton at the No Kings Rally is important to note. Many centrist organizations have been quietly—and sometimes not so quietly—encouraging Democrats to move right on transgender issues, arguing that transgender people cost Democrats the 2024 election.

Protesters descend on Democratic congressman's office over transgender comments The Sunday protest followed Rep. Seth Moulton criticizing the Democratic Party's approach to transgender issues.

6. Protesters gathered outside his district office to denounce his statements, and frustration with Moulton has since lingered among LGBTQ+ Democratic activists—an undercurrent of discontent that continues to follow his campaign. That frustration appeared to have boiled over in the No Kings Rally.

Gov. Maura Healey says Rep. Seth Moulton was "playing politics" with trans athletes comment Gov. Maura Healey knocked Rep. Seth Moulton for "playing politics" with his comments​ about transgender athletes.

5. Rep Moulton’s comments have continued to draw sharp backlash. In the days after his remarks, Governor Maura Healey rebuked him, saying, “I also think it’s important in this moment that we not pick on particularly vulnerable children… And you know that’s what I’ve been disappointed in seeing,”

4. Markey used his time to support trans people. “We’re going to get up, we’re going to stand for the right thing, and we are going to win. Because here in Massachusetts, we stand for what is right. We stand with trans people because trans rights are human rights,” he said to raucus applause.

Moulton launches Senate primary challenge to Markey in Massachusetts - Roll Call Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton of Massachusetts announced Wednesday that he is launching a primary challenge against Sen. Edward J. Markey.

2. As Rep Ayanna Pressley introduced Seth Moulton, a wave of boos rippled through the crowd. The reaction likely stemmed in part from comments Moulton made earlier this year, when he accused Dems of “spending way too much time trying not to offend anyone" and fearmongering on trans girls in sports.
