Trump is telling us that he’s going to fire hundreds of thousands, deport tens of millions, kick tens of millions off their healthcare & cut hundreds of millions in social programs and Ma and Pa MAGA STILL believe all of this shit is going to help them in some fucking way.
Narrator: it’s not.

For me, the thing that knocked the wind out of me with this election is that I dared to believe America would get it right THIS time, that America was ready for a Woman President.
It hurt having that blind faith in neighbors, friends, and strangers smacked out of me.
Dammit, America. 😞

My "left wing twitter" is like 30% bird pictures and for some reason that makes perfect sense?

Harris made the fascism case against Trump, citing Milley and Mattis and with help from Liz Cheney, and if anything it hurt her in the polls. It just doesn’t land as a real concern to many voters. (To be clear, it’s a real concern to me!)
Of course I’m glad Gaetz went down, & my fingers are crossed that Hegseth will follow—nobody as Christian nationalist as him has ever been this close to power. But I’m troubled that the only way to stop them is via their alleged sex crimes. Fascism is apparently not a problem.

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back.
I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.

I figured out a fast way to follow folks back! If you like this post, I can bring up the list of everyone who liked it and follow back with one click. So like this post, but remember that there’s limits on follow backs. But I’ll do my level best!

just letting you guys know, I'm gonna start unfollowing/muting accounts that fall back on old Twitter habits of dunking and engaging with bad faith actors
sometimes it's important to stay informed of the grifts, but I think I'm good on seeing things that make me upset

we've got a Prospect article coming up on a neat trick the Montgomery County MD government is doing--when developers are struggling to get projects financed, perfect time for the state to step in with cheap capital. developers get to build but the government owns the resulting project
This is a pretty good illustration of my basic principles:
1) Real rent reductions come when developers overbuild
2) Developers always overbuild when you let them
3) Our tight construction limits in California means we don’t let them

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

The truth is, none of us really know what the next four years will look like. It’s incredibly difficult to predict what happens next. It does not feel good.

It’s really something to watch the Party whose supporters poop on the floor in the Capitol and wipe their feces on the wall tell us which bathrooms to use.

On Thursday, the person overseeing the auction told us that The Onion’s bid for InfoWars, along with the Connecticut Sandy Hook families, won.
We haven’t heard anything that changed that — except, of course, from the guys currently running InfoWars, doing InfoWars stuff..
