Someone needs to do a psychological study of all the Indian men (it’s mostly men) who gleefully aligned themselves with America’s conservatives, knowing the movement was, at core, racist and nativist, and yet told themselves “it’s okay, I’m in the club.”
No, Vivek, you just had a visitor pass.

Change my mind: Almost all left-of-center political content amounts to: 1) Trump did this bad thing, 2) Fact-checking dumb thing a Republican said, 3) Making fun of said dumb things.
There is almost no elite interest in analyzing how Republicans won and what institutions we can build to win.

Less than 20 years ago, Congress unanimously voted to reauthorize the VRA. Now, the Republican Party is ready to throw the whole thing out. And the Supreme Court, never immune to political temperature, seems confident enough to end the very part that the Chief Justice assured us would be untouched.

Remember, being in a cult is not about slavishly obeying and parroting whatever the Dear Leader says. It’s about slavishly obeying and parroting whatever the Dear Leader says TODAY. If he flips 180 tomorrow, you must prove your loyalty by flipping and also denying it was ever different.

My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdani’s dad (same like “my stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmates”) and apparently the New York Times doesn’t understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my mom’s people!

it’s absurd that NYT forced him to delete these skeets, which … convey the factual information that Zohran Mamdani is, in fact, a man of South Asian descent who was born and raised in Africa, and that the pseudonymous source of the hacked material is a white supremacist eugenicist.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence?
Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue.

P.S. If you’re among the ~134 million with employer-based coverage (the big green section), you’re not off the hook either…guess what’ll happen to YOUR premiums when up to 13% of the population suddenly loses THEIR healthcare coverage & can’t pay their hospital or doctors bills?

It cost two world wars and a great depression to teach 20th century Republicans why isolationism and protectionism were wrong.
Let's hope that the education of 21st century Republicans will cost less - but it's already expensive enough.

Fascinating how having Bluesky share button has become a symbol of a pub's proximity to Team Elon. NYT, AP, Guardian, TPM have it. WaPo, WSJ, Politico, Axios do not.
Notable thing is that Bluesky has much higher engagement rates, even agst a small smaller user base, at least in nominal terms.

Not including ships and submarines that are also launching missiles, the air-based component of this ongoing Russian missile attack is utilizing:
- 6 TU-160 strategic bombers
- 16 TU-95 strategic bombers
- 6 MIG-31K jets
Ukraine is forbidden by the US to strike any of these with western weapons.
