I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for

I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand.
The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

This is not in disagreement with OP at all, but I think we all quietly, lowkey imagine the very funny "are we the baddies" bit could be a real thing. But like, they know they're the bad guys. They think it makes them cool. Later, after you destroy them and their movement, they'll pretend otherwise
Is there any point, when you’re threatening to break a judge’s car windows so you can detain the teenage Supreme Court intern he’s driving home for protection, that you’re like huh, maybe I’m the bad guy?

Fuck these assholes
4 senior House Dems — Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, & Ted Lieu — voted for a Republican-led resolution to “CONDEMN SOCIALISM,” a symbolic measure that passed the chamber on Wed. The vote comes as NYC mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani is set to meet with Pres. Donald Trump at the WH today.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

a lot of people are interpreting this as “wow elite liberals really hate the left” and while thats true, what’s mainly going on here is that elite liberals hate anyone who is young and did not complete the cursus honorum of local politics
Katie Wilson, Seattle’s next mayor, emerged from the city’s left-wing activist class and brings with her little experience in governing.
