The idea that the Beatles have ever not been wildly popular among the youth is weird, and seems fundamentally wrong

‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’

Love this guy

Ah, yes. Though I find it, in a round about way, quaint

Inquiring minds must know, what is this phrase?

8 graphs in (the free part) and I find out that K is "fit and unusually tan", "an eager student", "arguably the most disruptive [HHS Sec]", and in that final free graph he "relied on misinformation" and "misstated ... evidence". Deeply intriguing; just what novel info could be behind that paywall?

What's your point, really? Because it does seem to be, "fuck the south."

Here's a crazy idea: if we don't organize in the south it will stay red. Also Ds in southern states can block super majorities in state legs, curtailing the most egregious acts and keeping the state viable for Ds in the future

Any if you're making the same choices, you're making them for the wrong reasons!

Whelp, waddya gonna do? Fuck the south, I guess. 🤷‍♀️

The majority of almost every state is white and states change political composition over time. Florida used to be solidly purple! But, hey, let's "fuck" everyone there because we can't envision things changing

Thank you for the history lesson. I did not know that in other countries people had tried to overthrow democracies.

Weird to frame lgbt+ as an "organization". Like, we're all colluding together in back channels planning our take-over

2/🧵 New piece with @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social in @NewRepublic: We analyzed 60,000+ respondents in the 2024 Cooperative Election Study. Gen Z has the lowest racial resentment of any generation. The generational shift overwhelms the education divide that supposedly defines modern politics.

He is unprecedented in attempting to dismantle our entire democratic system. Strikes me as something worth recognizing and emphasizing.

Idk, right-wing grifters seem to live to troll

Almost feels like she's trolling us.

Compounding elite loss of trust is elite's view of the Cassandras (progressives) who have been pointing out the hollowness of many aspects of the prevailing orthodoxy. For decades now elite centrists react much more vigorously and viscerally to the left than the right. (Shocking how much so even)
