there’s this constant mythology about the elusive centrist voter who isn’t represented by the media but whenever they use examples of people not represented by the media it’s always people like alan dershowitz who are still represented in the media and almost exclusively so!
Bari Weiss says she wants to use her new perch at CBS News to “redraw the lines of what falls in the 40 yards of acceptable debate” in American political and cultural life. She says the aim is to sideline voices like Hasan Piker, Tucker Carlson and Nick Fuentes, and elevate “charismatic”...

I’m still thinking about Bari Weiss saying that Hasan Piker (extremely popular influencer) is less of a measure of where Americans are than Alan Dershowitz (extremely unpopular Epstein associate, his own neighbors won’t sell him a pierogi)

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

They are getting nervous, and they should be.

Democratic socialists are being elected all over this country because the ruling class is hoarding wealth, destroying the planet, and ruining basically everything around us while covering for a child sex trafficking ring many of them are implicated in.
Not two weeks after a democratic socialist is elected mayor of New York City, 86 Democratic House members vote to 'condemn socialism.'

SCOOP — A former staffer for Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), Natalie Green, 26, was charged today for falsely reporting she was attacked by 3 men who wrote "TRUMP WHORE" on her stomach bc of her job. It was staged by her + a friend.

Van Drew isn't named in the complaint but I've confirmed w/ his office.

The disdain for free childcare -- note the use of smart-ass quotes -- is frustrating because just five years ago, right-wingers suddenly realized that public schools played a critical child care role that was necessary to the functioning of society.
You guys realize that taxing people to pay for services isn't socialism, right? This is just how governments work.

Also, college attendance should be as common as high school, not because of employment (not every job should “require” a degree, etc) but because EVERYONE deserves an extra 2-4 years to grow up and expand their worldview in a space geared towards that before they’re thrown into the workforce.
"my least woke opinion is---"

That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.

Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

Anything that is necessary to function in modern society should, at minimum, have a publicly funded industry providing it to people at cost. Utilities, Food, Shelter, Banks, Transportation, Internet, etc.

And any existing private industries that rely on public funding should be nationalized.

This video is great, but it ignores one crucial detail, which is that banks offer different interest rates based on the term of the loan. Today, the avg interest rate on a 15-yr mortgage is 5.5%, compared to 6.22% for a 30-yr. A hypothetical 50 year mortgage would undoubtably be even higher 🧵

Why is the "we must be united!" hectoring directed at people who are mad at the Cavers and not to the Cavers? Everyone who's mad was united, then the Cave Caucus walked across the aisle and betrayed what the public had been told was the Dem position.
The sooner we get past internal recriminations and back to fighting united, the better off we all are — the likelier our victory next November.

A $400,000 mortgage at 7% for various terms:

15-year: $247,000 interest, $3,600/mo
30-year: $558,000, $2,660/mo
50-year: $1,022,000, $2,410/mo

So you double your interest for 10% lower payment. The first payment is $73.42 in principal.

Thirdway has a memo out about how Mamdani's politics won't work in the rest of the country but they wrote it before he won and forgot to replace "X%" with his actual margin. lol.

The way all of these people convinced themselves that Mamdani is antisemitic is a subject far more worthy of media examination than any of the ‘groupthink on campuses!’ thinkpieces we’ve been subjected to

Credit where it’s due, Cuomo accomplished what the DNC has been trying and failing to do for years: convinced Republican voters to vote for a Dem instead.

And Mamdani/DSA has proven that those votes are NOTHING compared to the turnout actual, progressive policy can achieve.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

For what I hope will be, but almost certainly won’t be, the last time

Like it or not, it takes an ACTUALLY GOOD candidate with ACTUALLY GOOD policies for people to show up. Doesn’t matter if defeating the bad candidate /should/ be enough, the opposition also needs to be GOOD.
Tonight's fun hey where were all you cunts a year ago?

Yesterday, Ari Melber asked Zohran Mamdani why he was a socialist, and he answered "because I believe in the dignity of all human beings."

It's time to stop being afraid of being called socialists.

Yes, this is a subtweet of Third Way and Matty you know who.
