It's funny we think we can just do this all over again.

Kat Abughazaleh supports retaining private insurance while her opponent Daniel Biss backs Medicare for All, which gets rid of it. What are we doing here people

"The only version of single-payer healthcare that can work is the one with multiple payers."
M4A is not single payer. Again, it's a half measure that a single payer system could eventually evolve from IF we don't leave it at that.
Single payer UHC is the goal, and no version of that was ever NOT going to have a public option.

WE WON! After 42 days of striking we have a tentative agreement in hand that protects our existing 4 day work week, establishes a minimum salary, and adds protections against AI replacing jobs at our workplace!
![Graphic with multiple picket signs that reads "[up arrow] Minimum Salary", "4 day Work Week", and a big cancel sign over "AI Replacing Jobs" and so much more.

Sounds good, but … what hammer?
we need to bring the hammer down on wealthy and connected elites. it’s been desperately needed for a long time. regardless of party or politics.
Something the US needs to accept too is that without a large-scale correction imposing consequences on a large number of people, the crisis of governance here will continue indefinitely

Larry Krasner has won his third term tonight against D->R former judge Pat Dugan by a larger percentage (50% > 44%), and by far a larger vote margin (168K > 95K), than he won four years ago against the criminal defense lawyer who had a section on his campaign website titled "The Girl In My Bathtub."

This is a misleading framing. There was a faction in the Constitutional Congress that was (or claimed to be) concerned about executive authority, but the faction that won the first presidential election (Washington and Hamilton) were very interested in wielding that authority to their advantage.
Presidential power has expanded far beyond what the framers of the Constitution envisioned. In fact, the founders were terrified of such concentrated executive authority, says historian @rickperlstein.bsky.social. More in the latest episode of Democracy Decoded: campaignlegal.org/democracy-de...

Gotta get a shirtless pic of a candidate to be really sure.
This is the thing. A bunch of groups representing young voters went all in with an endorsement for Platner without doing any due diligence. They’d never even heard of the guy a few months ago. These are the same folks who rage against older Democrats. Well, with age wisdom often comes too.
Like, I was aggressively wrong here. Loved the video. Thought he looked like a fucking champ. People who know him like him and are loud about it.
But now there’s new information and you adapt to it. Getting all pot committed to a guy you had never heard of three months ago is unhinged.

What is the theory of iconography that asks us to beware of the guy who is obviously not a Nazi because of his tattoo?

I will take the internet's word that that's a Nazi symbol but if you're just looking at it on the wall of a parlor without the internet it looks more Grateful Dead than Nazi.

If you want to make a company pay a certain amount in wages, we already have a tool for that: minimum wage! You can just write down the number, you don’t have to build a Rube Goldberg machine. And if you feel you’ve maxed out on minimum wage, just boost those benefits. EZ!

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

Liberals don’t typically use a phrase like “mind virus,” but the theory of ideology in threads like this seems remarkably Muskian.
1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...
Suspect in Minnesota Shooting Linked to Security Company, Evangelical Ministry
The alleged shooter is a 57-year-old white male; according to his ministry's website, he “sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer.”

“The technology is great, just need better users” is such a funny thing to say when your base product is free and there are still no popular use cases.
so you agree? the problem with AI is not the technology itself but the userbase and surrounding media ecosystem?
