as we reach the SNAP cliff just a gentle reminder to do-gooders that the most efficient use of resources is to contribute to organizations that are already established. unless nothing exists in your area (and it likely does whether you know it) now is probably not the time to stand something up

Watching Coates/Klein was such a revelation about the fact that many modern Democrats struggle to differentiate the descriptive from the normative. If you don't have a language for what *should* be, everything that *is* starts to feel inevitable
Klein uses "politics" as a utilitarian term, with no moral valance. Thus "good politics" ONLY means effective politics. He just can't hear, refuses to hear, the tone deafness. His naïveté seems willful at this point.

Same. I read so fast it’s almost photographic memory. I absolutely have no time nor patience for audiobooks, podcasts, or videos. I will read captions with the sound off if you give them to me, but I will almost never ever choose video.

The real generational divide is people who refuse to watch a video if it could be an article versus people who refuse to read an article if it could be a video

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.
Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

What centrists are offering across the Western world is the opportunity for the right to consolidate their gains as hegemonic. They’re offering managerial competence in service to reactionary aims.
Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station.
