The leaders of every major institution have straight-up fricasseed their brains with 16 hours of daily Twitter time and are now incapable of any thought that can’t be formulated as “CHEW ON THIS HOT TAKE: [biggest pander imaginable].”

starting in six weeks or so, you will hear right wing and centrist commentators on cable news, podcasts etc start to refer to Mamdani as if it's obvious that he's failed, extremely unpopular etc. its very important in order for their plot to succeed that any left wing pol be discredited

There's a correlation, not a contradiction; normal conservatives are just dumb and racist, any conservative who has been called a "bold, innovative thinker" by the NYT has wet dreams of being a death camp commandant.

Frankly, I'm glad we can stop the song and dance and call the spade a spade.
the upsetting thing being that a generation of Rush Limbaughs begat Tucker Carlsons and Chris Rufos and neo-segregationists that now admit they've always wanted such things. Once upon a time they clutched pearls at the suggestion, now they think they don't need hoods.
It’s who Republicans have always been. Trump (and the American people by voting for him) have given them permission to reveal who they’ve been all along.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

Zohran is unbelievably talented but i still worry about his ability to navigate NYPD issues without losing support.
what people like us want him to do with the NYPD and what can be done practically are worlds apart. i hope he can make progress and i hope people understand that it's not an easy task

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

The most telling Bari Weiss incident came when "The Free Press" excused George Floyd's murder, @radleybalko.bsky.social highlighted factual errors, and Weiss's reaction was not to make corrections, but to invite Balko on a podcast.

i dunno i actually find the "these people are nihilists and debate is meaningless" refrain kind of misleading. they are not nihilists: they have a clear policy agenda. persuasion remains powerful: the use of words and images to change the narrative is one of our greatest assets.

it remains mindblowing the extent to which "having consistent beliefs" is a cheat code that makes the entire political system violently glitch out
