an incredible book, one of the perfect works of popular history
and I must specifically recommend listening to it as an audiobook on car trips with your child so that they develop an early, bone-deep hatred of George McClellan

Finished Battle Cry of Freedom—incredible book, surely the best single-volume account of the Civil War, it's more than earned canonization. So remarkable to make a 900pg book this detail-rich & yet still obviously a condensation of an even larger knowledge base

*pinches bridge of nose* Even if, somehow, this DoE statement were true (which it isn’t), it would STILL BE GOOD to use solar and wind energy for the goodly fraction of the time it’s sunny and/or windy. Jesus Christ.

Immigrants are a social good, anti-immigrant propaganda is basically all lies, and any approach to the "problem" that doesn't start form those two points is worthless

"You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem" is such a good line.
Policy matters, but how you communicate stuff matters more right now.

I'm kind of shocked that anyone is still proposing technocratic solutions to the "debate" over immigration. Even if this were a good idea (and it is not), Republican elites and media will never tell their base about it. You can't policy your way out of a propaganda problem!

thank you for posting this! Yglesias is a typical Lib loser. Every Dem presidential candidate he has supported has been terrible.He voted for Obama, who killed kids with drones even after Malala told him to stop. He voted for Hillary Clinton,a war criminal. He voted for Biden who cheers on genocide.

IMO, it's not dissimilar to how language is used. Currently, we are communicating with each other using English, with spelling and grammatical structures that have been shaped by history. And yet, slang emerges all the time, getting picked up and dropped like trends. Similar to clothing styles.

I really appreciate Zohran’s “we can’t just be right, we also have to win” comment because large tracts of the internet unfortunately place an huge amount of moral importance on simply calling things correctly (and many of the loudest don’t actually even do it all that well)

On April 30th, Josh Smith of Montana Knife Company said you won't have to worry about tariffs if you buy American.
In the video, he holds up an egg to represent the zero dollars you'll have to pay if you purchase his made-in-USA knives.

Some people are into politics because they care about how policy impacts people. They like winning elections, and build coalitions to do so.
Other people are into politics as aesthetics, because their stances make them feel edgy and superior. They like losing and complaining, and shun coalitions.

There’s a weird thing on this website and lots of left-wing subcultures, where people love to throw around “liberal” as an insult, but from what I can tell liberals voted overwhelmingly against Cuomo and are rallying behind Zohran now.
