Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

In this new world it’s really critical to control or influence as many large platforms and informational sources as possible. If you don’t and the other side does, they’ll show millions of people things that convince them their own conception of reality is correct.

The political paradigm we live in now is one where different political forces are competing to promote their entire view of the world, right down to “what are the biggest issues in the country? what is wrong with America?”
Basic questions like which problems even exist are contested.

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better.
But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

This is also where the desperation for H1-B workers comes in. None of this works if you don't have a pipeline of people who need this job as their only foot in the door to the USA. American workers have options (which Ramaswamy has likened to being mentally handicapped).

conservatives are mad that their project to install a conservative as LA's mayor failed and want to lie in the media to undermine the progressive democrat who won instead. The Times is eager to help them spread their lies.
Laundering a right wing talking point meant to distract from the climate change angle, purportedly based on a single guy’s comment. Doesn’t mention that she isn’t the mayor of LA *County* and the deadliest of the fires so far is outside of her jurisdiction.

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
