today I learnt that the occupational incidence of suicide in late Victorian Britain (1878-1883) was *lowest* among miners, & highest by far among soldiers.

protesting in a church is just bad optics as a nearly universal rule, but it seems very difficult to argue the case in Minnesota is somehow *morally* outrageous.

Most nato members are about to elect Trump adjacent parties in the next couple of years so yeah idk
It's unfathomable to me that any other member of NATO will simply return to the assumption that the US is a friendly power and that they can plan long-term policy around that premise.

Something that often gets elided is the difference between not liking a policy (or not liking its consequences) & willingness to support a political movement or party that will stop that policy.

@gregsargent.bsky.social has this right. Republicans can’t scare freedom loving people into not standing up for their neighbors. But the absence of backup from Democrats is will demoralize some and tempt others to more radical forms of opposition. newrepublic.com/article/2055...

Jerome Powell looks like an elderly farmer who defies an outlaw gang in a midcentury Western.
It’s well established by now that Powell is well characterized by a strong sense of civic virtue and, helpfully, oppositional defiance.

The problem with primarying yucky old Democrats is that so many of them represent districts outside of Los Angeles and Brooklyn, the only places where their esteemed challengers seem to be interested in spending time.

remember when fentanyl coming over the US border with Canada was supposedly a major crisis?
All the fentanyl suddenly evaporated when they were threatening to invade Greenland instead
Next they'll create a crisis about someplace else

Mike, Mike, you're misunderstanding something here, Mike, that's very important. This new SOFA? It's now the Donald Trump SOFA That Stopped a Literal War and Held Together NATO, signed by Donald Trump and with a QR code that goes to his cryptocurrency/wristwatch sales website.

speaking more generally, one of the great sources of frustration for opponents of Donald Trump is that they very infrequently are in a position to exact a price that matters to him.
He simply does not often face an opponent that actually could exact a price in American lives. When he does, he shows cowardice.

Not close to an accurate description of the most famous case of fascism.
If you have read even a single history of fascism, you are already aware that one thing that its rise has in common in every case is an opposition party that refuses to intervene for fear of looking weak or putting the left into power
To quote one source:
“They’re terrified of being labeled anti–law enforcement. They want this to go away so they can talk about the cost of living more. Problem is, it’s not going away.”

this always gets a lot of eyeballs whenever they put it together but just a reminder that this is all imputed rather than polled and is therefore extremely sensitive to decisions made around the imputation; YouGov did not field fifty states worth of polls for this.
