@jheil.bsky.social on your Pablo Torre ep, you called out sports as one of the last unifying parts of culture. I would argue it’s sports culture that is ruining everything else, we are treating politics like sports team rivalries instead of life altering policy decisions. 1/2

@jheil.bsky.social I think your analysis of Newsom’s tweeting on the Palmieri episode was reductive at best or dead wrong at worst. He’s not “talking like Trump.” He’s making a point and laying bare the hypocrisy of Trump and the Republicans.

AOC, @aoc.bsky.social, making the case for free speech alongside universal healthcare is so KEY for the left, because it's time progressives reclaimed the mantle of fighting for free speech from the faux free speech warriors of the right.
AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.
I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person
I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

“Sentencing guidelines call for 20 years to life in prison.”
For those catching up: the U.S. government is now explicitly considering the use of anti-terrorism laws—originally designed for foreign combatants—against college protesters.
This is a horrifying, all-out assault on dissent.

What’s weird is Democrats did in fact really upset Trump yesterday, which is probably the best they could manage, were we hoping for making him explode on stage or something?

Pollsters should start asking Trump voters “if former President Trump is re-elected and launches the campaigns of political violence he’s promised, will you personally take part or will you leave the attacks on scary brown people to others?”
Every Trump voter owns all the violence in my opinion
The default answer to everything for MAGA is violence. That's how it's going to be when Trump wins.
