We're going full "Banana Republic" on this one.
Salazar: "In Congress we've understood that China, we need to bring those jobs back. Maybe to the United States, but maybe near-shoring or rear-shoring. Maybe it's time to bring those jobs to Venezuela and to Chile and to Bolivia and to Central and South America. They happen to be in our back yard."

Ok this is really interesting but also 1 big reason for govt to get into low-margin businesses is that private companies may choose locations/business models for them that maximize slim margins but don't maximize people's access to essential goods/services, see also: health care

Claiming that populism is "Ackchually" against wonkish ideas is something you say when your main concern is upholding your own intellectual self perception.

Sen. Slotkin's comfortability with imperialism abroad is why she can't be our spokesperson against fascism at home.
Sen. Slotkin said today—to my surprise—that she's unaware of any illegal orders *so far*.

thinking about how my parents escaped vietnam, where the CIA destabilized my family's home country by spreading misinformation, and they landed in the united states, which is now getting destabilized bc someone in vietnam is spreading misinformation
Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

George Bell Served 24 Years in Prison for a Crime He Didn’t Commit. Now He’s Learning to Live Again.
After a quarter century behind bars, he was exonerated for the 1996 crime and received the largest payout ever from New York City. But money can’t buy back all that time.

The only time I've seen lament over Black voter turnout was Cuomo supporters claiming that younger black voters needed to listen to "their elders" and other weird centrist nonsense based on some imagined claim on our communities political loyalty.
I just read a lament, re: the laborious, nettlesome burden of keeping Black voters motivated to turn out, that the Dem coalition relies “on placating a group that is 13% of the population.”
Just do the math, it went on — which makes one wonder: doesn’t “the math” involve counting to 50? Hello?
