Let’s actually talk about this, because it’s bullshit. In 1960, the MEDIAN income in the US was $5600/yr. That comes to ~$61,292.76 in 2025. While this is $20,000 less than the median income in 2025, that ignores inflationary pressures. Let’s look at housing prices: In 1960, the average price of a
Americans in their 20s and 30s may not feel that they’re richer than their equivalents 60 years ago, but they’re objectively wrong.
It’s fascinating how important it is to some people not to say “I’m struggling, it’s hard” or “I need help”—objectively true—but to instead insist they have it worse.

the article does absolutely nothing to back your argument up tho. its just “some unnamed economists say planes and smart phones exist, so stop whining” against statistics and statements from named economists completely at odds with that claim

Ungrateful peasants still can't appreciate the grandeur neoliberalism has brought into their lives. Don't you know that you have a better life than a 1700s European monarch who wanted for nothing and never experienced strife because you can finance the delivery of Funko Pops to your doorstep?

also, “politics is bottom/top not left/right” might work as a slogan but is shit as analysis. who is the bottom? who is the top? who constitutes an “elite” and who belongs to “the people?” these are important questions that have to be answered.

(OOC) The "moderates" are the traitors, every time. They're always the weak link. Even if you're a cynical party institutionalist it should be obvious that the moderates are dragging the party to hell.

@aricohn.com doesn't think a straight student has a 1A right to call every gay kid "that f-----" because it is their political belief that gay behavior shouldn't be normalized. He doesn't think a white student has the right to call all the Black kids the N word.

On some level even cis people who think they're not transphobic think trans people deserve more harassment than other people because we're not *quite* equal.
Misgendering every trans student is targeted. Each time a student misgenders a classmate, it is targeted at that classmate. I'm not a lawyer, but if your brief doesn't explain where the difference is, maybe you shouldn't be either.

When people talk about the excesses of MeToo, they have to lie, because the reality is that there was no massive social reckoning forcing people to believe survivors or hold perpetrators accountable. In fact, there has been a significant backsliding and new punishments in rejection of MeToo

The nyt editors already have a biased angle in mind. They’re not seeking facts, they’re looking for quotes to fill in a predetermined narrative of bigotry.
Every nyt story about us is intended to spread disinformation and foment discrimination. The leadership’s anti-trans animosity is deeply held

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

"Winning every election by a landslide may look good on paper — but could they have won by even more if they moved further to the center?"
Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

You are a 40something white man whose livelihood increasingly relies on flattering the political assumptions of tech billionaires. We all have a little situational blindness but I think you really need to take a step back from defining politics around what personally annoys your group chats

This is the guy that always fucked up the group project and eventually thought the reason no one wanted him in their group for the next project was because he was just too smart for everyone else.

I also think Sherill illustrates the need to define terms here — to me the need for moderation is not about supporting mainstream Dems like her versus leftists like Mamdani, it’s about the fact that the national party needs to ditch commitments both factions share.
I always forget which is the motte and which is the bailey

Something under-discussed in this situation is that Trump changed the game on the presidency. People hate everything he's done, but he has fully imposed his will on national policy. The next Democratic president is going to have to be willing to do more than make promises they can't deliver.
My argument is super simple, it’s that according to Elliott Morris’s data:
1. Moderates do better on average
2. National party images are increasingly important
Morris is a smart guy and Democrats should follow his advice and moderate their national image.

Hi Oriana.
I'm the third candidate in this race. One of the things I've highlighted since I entered was the ways Markey has fallen short w/r/t the trans community.
Specifically regarding the Transgender Bill of Rights, Markey hasn't even re-filed that this Congress.
Would love to talk.

I saw a blurb about this case in the NYLJ today and went to look at the docket...maybe it's just a crazy pro se, but I'm not *sure* there's not an actionable claim here? Someone who does 1983 work should at least take a look.

I'm CIS, I get T as I have low T, and I know how the mood is without it as I remember from beforehand. I can get T without any issue. Just because I'm CIS. THIS IS NOT FAIR!
Nobody should have to face a loss of mood because they can't get what helped them have a stable mood. 😞

I'm weirdly and uncharacteristically downhearted and I strongly suspect it's because I missed a dose of testosterone by a few days and decided to go another week to save more of a stockpile.
