This is about Buttigieg talking about how Democrats need to appeal to "men" by dropping "identity politics."
I have no particular insight into how true it is, but I have in the past couple of years seen a whole bunch of mentions that top-rung Dems take as gospel the writings of...Matt Yglesias.

Many of his comments this year suggests he consumes a ton of popularist content and very little pointing out the many flaws in that thinking. I assume his peer group is the audience that consumes popularist content, so he would need real intentionality to get other perspectives.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

Genuinely hilarious that the only way we’re going to get actual functional YIMBY housing policy in our large cities is through Red Plenty Socialists and not the Abundance guys lol
at this point, Los Angeles is the most NIMBY city in the country.
I am not a socialist myself, but give me a socialist YIMBY like Zohran or Katie Wilson over a liberal NIMBY like Karen Bass any day of the week.

After failing to stop a major state housing bill from becoming law, Los Angeles leaders are turning to plan B: Delaying Senate Bill 79's implementation and pushing for unspecified legislative changes next year. My dispatch for @politico.com Pro subscribers subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

Is this those dangerous males infiltrating women's restrooms I keep hearing about
So… A BP agent filmed in LA in June kidnapping someone from a Walmart got arrested by Long Beach cops after drunkenly flashing his service pistol in a women’s restroom. He demanded they call BP Commander Bovino. After making bail he died of a drug OD at his parents house. lbpost.com/news/isaiah-...
A viral arrest, a drunken brawl and an overdose: the last days of a notorious Border Patrol agent
We obtained hours of body-camera video that give the fullest — and perhaps last — glimpse of Agent Isaiah Hodgson’s mindset when he became a flashpoint in the fight over immigration raids.

Meanwhile, it's being reported this morning that Trump and Pete Hegseth are ramping up their bloodthirsty and incoherent threats to wage land war on Venezuela. Note how the fact that they're threatening to do this unilaterally has been relegated to an afterthought in much of the coverage.
Trump's illegal murders in the Caribbean just got worse. An internal DOJ memo on the bombings says the victims are waging war on the US, but per NYT, it extensively cites the WH's *own claims* to this effect as evidence!
It gets even darker than that. 1/

I guess refraining from participating in white backlash is too much to ask of some Democrats. Beating the Republicans up on the Voting Rights Act and civil rights in general is how you frame judicial reform. Don't fall for "anti-woke" garbage. It is wrong morally and dumb strategically.

Having to defend trans and intersex people from bigots who didn’t even pass high school biology isn’t getting “sucked in.” It’s correcting. Democrats stand for truth. If you can’t simply defend truth, then you aren’t qualified to be a Democrat.
