one of the weirdest things that people believe on a website where the collective mood changes every thirty-six hours is that events completely unknown to 60% of the population, where 90% have the facts wrong, will have persistent effects eighteen months later

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

Our politics seems to be entering a phase of "right supremacy" where only the lives of right-wingers have value. Assassinating the leader of a state legislative body in her own damn home was business as usual, but all of America has to have a reckoning if it's a far-right online influencer.

Been noticing a lot more smut on here lately. Can't say I'm crazy about it. That's part of the reason I left the Nazi site. It's nowhere near that bad yet but I've been seeing a lot more thirst trap profiles than I used to.

Everyone is yelling at Ian about this but the article is good and this is a real problem! If you are a straight guy trying to get laid 99% of the advice you come across will be right wing-coded.
The left is completely silent on the subject of men getting laid - which, generally speaking, they are v.interested in doing and will continue to be interested in regardless of whether progressives want to talk about it. So the stage has been left entirely clear for the far-right.

The problem here is that a random Bluesky poster with 5 fake diseases can become the face of the Democratic Party while the actual president can say he's mad that Jeffrey Epstein stole his sex slave and he wants Barack Obama executed and people shrug.
A message I just got from a buddy of mine, who’s a long time Democratic Party campaign consultant: “This Sydney Sweeney thing is the kind of thing that turns men away from our party. It’s why men think our party is weak & insane.”

My response to him? “Fuck yea it is. You are exactly right.”

january 6th and its consequences, if taken seriously, can only mean that the previous constitutional order is already dead. rather than facing this head-on we spent the past 4 years attempting to puppet its rotting corpse, with visible results.

absent the democratic party having its own tea party movement which ushers in new leadership who take a radically more forceful approach to politics the likeliest scenario is a hollow dem victory which results in a redux of the biden/obama 'ignore the problem and hope it goes away on its own'

mamdani won the dem primary fair and square and he’s the only dem in the race, every dem who wants to stop him isn’t a dem, they’re a wrecker

the other thing about this is that this shouldn’t be a national race, but the country’s most powerful and influential newspaper is determined to *make it* a national race, and i want them to fucking lose, and i want them to lose big.
the thing about this is like, you don’t have to like mamdani specifically, you don’t have to like any of these people specifically, but, if you don’t, you need to ask yourself who you *do* like, and if the answer is “no one”, you should stop following politics
a thing that’s fun to watch with mamdani (and frost and AOC and mcbride and others) is a generation of people who understand that being a politician is not just about policy, but it’s about liking people and wanting them to like you

forgive me if this is stating the obvious but the reason they quote Rufo so much is bc they agree with him
here are the results:

since january 1, 2021, rufo has appeared in the WSJ 32 times.

in the same period, he appeared in NYT 167 times.

This is why I find the “Dems must *reform* the Supreme Court, not expand it” arguments so frustrating. There is no reform other than expansion that solves the problem of a 6-3 conservative supermajority. Term limits, ethics codes, great. But it’s all window dressing as long as these numbers hold.
We'll need a system where political and business elites are subject to laws again which at minimum means a different supreme court
my entire politics rn is informed by the belief that, even if trump fails to finish consolidating power, doesn’t build a bunch of camps, and leaves office peacefully, we would still eventually get all the worst outcomes, absent a dedicated effort to dismantle fascist tools and punish the fascists

Truly imagine if Mamdani had used the word “Shylock.”

It would have quite literally destroyed his career and every org and leader calling him out would be making this into a month long news cycle.

Trump? Hardly a peep.

When you accept antisemitism from the president, you aren’t fighting it.

Everyone in power in society is so divorced from need & want they do not understand the very precarity our entire society is built upon. We are carrying out pogroms against the legally created underclass that we relegated to picking our food and cleaning our messes against threats of deportations
