“If you believe the MAGA postliberal project is real, then liberalism must understand MAGA is not a reaction to economic consequences or “elite failures,” but an affirmative preference for illiberalism.
Liberalism must stop apologizing. Stop excusing. And fight.”

Liberals: Stop the Masochism
Why liberalism romanticizes the Forgotten Man and is reluctant to take its own side in the fight against authoritarianism.

1000%. I don’t love Tay Tay, but her advice to treat your time as a luxury object that not everyone can afford is spot on
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Absolutely fucking nailed it. I don’t care what happens to these men as long as it’s bad.

Now is probably a relevant time to point out that the teenage pregnancy rate is overwhelmingly dependent on adult men preying on teenage girls, not teenagers having sex with each other, despite what Teen Mom would have you believe
My teenagers can’t get a ticket to the Running Man remake on their own, but sure, they’re consenting adults when it comes to sex.

I was driving down the freeway today and spotted a minivan with a stick figure family decal and DILFmobile hashtagged above the decal. Upon seeing the driver, I can assure you that confidence was entirely unearned.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

the democratic party’s basic problem is it has almost no control over how its message reaches the ears of voters, especially outside of presidential election years. but rather than devote serious time, attention and cash to that problem its consultants and pundits want to fight factional battles

This is Dems' brand problem that goes way beyond any one issue: Voters see the party as opportunistic panderers who fundamentally believe in nothing, and voters hate that.

About three or so years ago I started posting monthly book reports on IG because I suck at Goodreads. I’ve decided to start also posting them here on #booksky.
It’s the September book report! Two very dense and different books with very different experiences

The most upsetting part of this story to me is the line where the Times says it is “unclear” where the money came from.
Under our constitution,
it is either extremely clear where money comes from - a congressional appropriation - or an illegal channel. So so, @nytimes.com

My god. The boomers are well and truly determined to only leave politics feet first a la Feinstein.
Democratic divisions loom in the fight to take on Republican senator Susan Collins. National-party conflicts over age, experience, and ideology are playing out in the Maine Senate primary between Janet Mills and Graham Platner.

I really appreciated this thoughtful piece about Ta-Nehisi Coates & Ezra Klein. Andrea Pitzer says “lost” folks like Klein “don’t have a clear idea how this moment fits into history and what it is exactly that they’re doing”. [degenerateart.beehiiv.com]
You don’t have to swallow frogs
Klein and Coates show that if you don’t know what your core beliefs are, you’re going to get played.
