A new study finds a 22% drop in emperor penguins (2020–2023) in part of Antarctica – far steeper than climate models expected.

This highlights urgent risks from sea ice loss

It is key to remember that lots of perfectly nice *not extremely online people* who leftists could form a popular front with *identify as liberals*.

These are NOT the same people as the wackos posting terminally dumb and homophobic Resist Lib memes on this website: they’re useful normies.
If you use the term "liberal" as a personal or ideological slur it might make you seem in and cool to your lefty mutuals but it is destructive to any broader coalition building that might help the left flank build political power so really it's all about what your goals are

I’ve gone from “why does the Democratic Party get kicked in the teeth every time they center the working class?” (See great society, Clinton’s healthcare push, Obamas healthcare push, Bidens worker 1st agenda) to “why has the left calcified its messaging while the right is creating new forms of it”?

This is an important read. The left is getting decimated by non traditional media, the kind I don’t use or understand haha

Donald Trump has dominated in polling of people who pay little attention to political news. What do they have to say?

Every time the Democratic Party centers the working class they get kicked in the teeth by the working class. Don’t give me this dems abandoned the working class horseshit.
Working class abandoned the Democratic Party not the other way around. Sanders brain fossilized in 1962. Great society was rewarded by 24 years of GoP. Clinton trying to do universal healthcare ended with Gingrich 94. Obama ACA ~> 2010 tea party. Bidens incredibly pro worker agenda ~> Trump.

A Haitian perspective from Springfield, Oh
Trump sounded ridiculous when he started ranting about immigrants eating dogs and cats at last night's debate. But to the town's Haitian community it's no joke.
