monetizing a lack of belief in anything defector.com/toward-a-the...
My suspicion, my awful awful newfound theory, is that there are people with a sincere and even kind of innocent belief that we are all just picking winners, in everything: that ideology, advocacy, analysis, criticism, affinity, even taste and style and association are essentially predictions. That what a person tries to do, the essential task of a person, is to identify who and what is going to come out on top, and align with it. The rest—what you say, what you do—is just enacting your pick and working in service to it.

Curmudgeon levels out of control. As with many things, it starts with Reagan and explodes with Trump #curmudgeon

Apropos of nothing, Sec. Kristi Noem is currently praying over Burgerville with Portland ICE officials.
A screenshot of a video of Noem praying at a conference table with other people wearing suits. Fast food bags and water bottles sit on the table.

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

am sure this absolutely sucked to deal with but this also looks like the cover for a killer circa-2009 indie rock EP

an giant mess of smashed bottles on the ground of a small kitchen with a red floor and 1980s white cabinets with wood trim. a bottle of Pam oil spray has stopped things from getting even worse

By Trump nickname standards, “my little communist” is borderline affectionate
nytimes.com The New York Times @nytimes.com · Sep 12
President Trump said on Friday in an appearance on “Fox and Friends” that he believed Zohran Mamdani would win the New York City mayoral race. He also called Mamdani, “my little communist,” and suggested he was already thinking about the leverage he could exert over him as mayor.
Trump Says It Looks Like Mamdani Is ‘Going to Win’
President Trump said on Friday that he believed Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, would win, likening that outcome to a “rebellion.”

Acknowledging that they don’t have all the answers, but asking the right questions is a rare political quality
grahamformaine.bsky.social Graham Platner for Senate @grahamformaine.bsky.social · Aug 19
My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country.

I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

I can barely express how gutwrenching it is to steal health care away from trans kids and essentially force them into conversion therapy defector.com/on-bridges?g...
Dysphoria and all the surrounding feelings are notoriously difficult to describe clearly, so here is the best metaphor I can come up with for what I want to talk about. Imagine, when you were a kid, that there was an intersection in your neighborhood that you regularly had to walk across, and it was a dangerous endeavor every time: There's no crosswalk, the cars don't respect speed limits, and everyone runs red lights or turns without looking. You did what you could to survive these perilous journeys, but maybe not every kid got to the other side unscathed. Imagine, then, that years later you passed through your old hometown and found that, since you left, a stylish pedestrian bridge had been built at this intersection. You see a bunch of kids, and they're laughing with each other as they use it to cross safely, not even aware of all the times that you, years ago, just barely missed getting smashed by a car.
