I've said before that to succeed in any job you need to a) do the work and b) be SEEN to do the work.
Those aren't necessarily the same thing though, and I think a lot of the Democrats try to do a) mistakenly assuming that b) will therefore follow.

My policy masters program was full of content and people who believed that doing things right meant people shouldn’t know you’ve done anything at all and I had to spend a lot of time telling folk that’s how your policy program dies

Kinda funny how the biggest richest cyberpunk dorks in the world are allergic to one of the core aesthetic appeals of cyberpunk: dense walkable urbanism
There's a joke in urbanist circles about how you're either radicalized by Amsterdam or Tokyo and it's hard to exaggerate how firmly I am in that latter category

Some people have questioned whether this is real. First, Blume is a legit reporter who's covering the courts in earnest. Second, there's a MN-barred attorney named Julie Le whose address is literally the Whipple Building. Another attorney confirmed to me she's a private attorney contracting with DOJ

A lawyer wanting to be held in contempt just to get some sleep is literally a plot point in MY COUSIN VINNY (1992).
This is unreal. An AUSA talking like that in open court is about as close as you can come to a total breakdown. Never heard of anything like it.

I don't think these idiots understand that "mass action" requires the masses, and that they are among the most unpleasant people alive.
Nobody is going to be bossed around by someone who thinks organizing a protest and getting your ass kicked is stupid, but lighting a dumpster on fire is awesome.

The Olds getting big mad about participation trophies in the 2000s was a revealing window into a pervasive American personality so damaged by emotionally-deprived upbringings that they can only see a gentler approach as a personal attack on the faux-individualism they duct taped over their traumas
The extent to which all of this is about one guy's psychological inability to admit he lost a contest will never stop breaking my brain. Perhaps a good lesson is that it's important to teach your kids how to lose—maybe even giving awards just for playing to show that not losing isn't everything.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.
Lots of regular degular, never-done-an-activism folks have been activated in recent months and are working alongside a bunch of seasoned, die-hard, been-tired-for-ten-years-or-more organizers, and you don't know all of those stories bc most people are moving with a bit of discretion in these times.
