I don't know if it was motivated by disgust at Elon Musk and his attempt to buy an election or if access to healthcare, fair electoral maps and general sanity in the state supreme court brought people out to vote. Probably a bit of both, but whatever the reasons, I am proud of my home state today.

You do not fight political fights with the same policy as your opponent, especially if you paint your opponent’s policy as dangerous.

Democrats should not get more conservative, the party should get dark money out and advocate for Medicare for All.

WTF is with Pennsylvania McDonalds lately?

a man says just when i thought i was out in a kitchen Alt: Michael (Al Pacino) from the Godfather Part 3 saying "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in."

After the election destroyed my faith in my fellow Americans, the overwhelming public reaction to the murder of a healthcare CEO responsible for the death and misery of tens of thousands of people for profit, has helped me tremendously.

The fact that you can't really narrow down who killed the United Healthcare CEO by looking at family members of those who died after being denied coverage because of the large number of them, also means we shouldn't be looking too hard either.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy.

Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

I don’t want to throw shade, but I would like the folks who kept telling us that there’s no evidence pervasive mis- and disinformation have negative impacts to account for the likelihood that prominent spreaders of BS will be running the agencies that protect public health, intelligence, etc.

The one where we do see a massive step change? It's the massive disconnect between what folks say about their own financial situation vs "the economy" (local & national). That's entirely consistent with what they've heard about "the economy" in the media in that period, esp. in conservative media.

This is just as relevant when related to traditional media and ratings/ad revenue.

The Right built a powerful, partisan, & participatory media environment to support its messaging, which offers a compelling "deep story" for its participants. The Left relied upon rigid, self-preserving institutional media and its "story" is little more than a defense of imperfect institutions.

The same people who thought Mike Tyson at 58 would be a better boxer than Mike Tyson at 38, also think Donald Trump's second term will be better than his first.
