Interesting hypothesis from two researchers suggesting the rise in homophobia in recent years is not the fault of trans people's visibility but (more convincingly I believe) part of the rise of anti-establishment politics generally and an association of "gay pride" with elites and corporations

1️⃣ He didn't say that.
2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him.
3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling.
4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it.
5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented.
6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

To be politically conscious from 2000-2009, and more specifically from 2001-2005, was to have your brain stamped with a feverish Curse of Knowing. So when you see shit like this, all you can think is “Dick Cheney insisting on links between Al Qaeda and Saddam”. You never forget the scent.

Top Democrat overseeing the Department of Homeland Security, @benniethompson.bsky.social, hasn't posted to his YouTube channel in 16 years. Might be a good way to reach people! But who uses YouTube anyway?

ICE is seriously going to be Gaza all over again for Democrats isn’t it. They’re going to try it again, insisting if they just don’t talk about it then it’s not actually an issue that matters to millions of voters.
NEW: In this interview, Chuck Schumer describes the "five buckets" Dems think are key to their possibly winning a Senate majority in 2026: housing, "the high price of food [and] food monopolies playing a major role there," electricity, "the high cost of childcare," and health care.
Zero Chucks Left to Give
Chuck Schumer now sees a path back to the majority. Can he manage his way through it?

INSULINDIAN PHASMID - That must be incredibly hard. The arthropods are in silent and meaningless awe of you. Know that we are watching -- when you're tired, when the vision spins out of control. The insects will be looking on. Rooting for you.

Ken Klippenstein managing to do more actual journalism with a Substack, a Signal account, and not much else than the entire staff of the NYT and WaPo put together is incredibly depressing
Leaked documents about ICE deployment to Minneapolis suggests they're more worried about the backlash to Renee Good's death than they're letting on:

in the abstract it is unfortunate that Americans identify overwhelmingly as consumers rather than workers, and that Biden got no credit whatsoever for spinning up the best labor market since the 1960s. in practice, with a union movement at death's door, it's hardly surprising

Zohran was much much more effective on this because he actually had a policy argument. "halal cart is expensive because of X, here's the bill that will get rid of X"

anyway this is some actual salt of the earth wisdom. this is a nation of consumers that fucking HATES it when prices go up regardless of jobs, growth, or anything else. that's just bedrock political reality. I feel it myself if I'm honest

This is gonna sound harsh but you gotta stop talking to these hicks out in bumfuck towns. I know these people. They know less than nothing, it all comes from newsmax and facebook. They live in a fantasy world and everything they have is because of the cities they hate. They aren’t real Americans.
