Democrats have always been like "we don't give a shit about enforcing Tumblr-speak," and yet somehow the accepted narrative is "Democrats relentlessly insist on enforcing Tumblr-speak."
Republicans say "we like hurting brown people," and yet accepted narrative is "Rs insist they're not racist." 🤔

i think a good example of Propaganda Works is the number of you who think that the national Democratic Party spent the years 2013 to 2020 denouncing Americans for insufficient Tumblr-speak

Gotta say the first time I heard the term "identity politics" I thought it was obviously referring to the Right since all they ever talk about is how their identity is under attack (war on Christmas, don't say gay, etc). Was confused to discover it refers exclusively to the Left for some reason 🤔
“Dems lost Middle America by focusing too much on Identity Politics” is one of those things that can always be said because it’s never actually true. It’s a perpetual motion machine.
This is a straightforward Republican attack line, what the fuck is he doing

Absolutely HUGE game today! Hope to see everyone down at Audi Field in a few hours. LET’S F**KIN’ GO!
Washington Spirit goalie and team captain Aubrey Kingsbury saved the day last weekend.
But the pressure is on for today's NWSL Championship semifinal at Audi Field against the Portland Thorns.
Our reporter @maustermuhle.bsky.social interviewed Kingsbury ahead of the game:

there's a tendency in parts of the left to believe that 'community' is the answer to everything but communities are often horrendous!
did not realize that prisonculture's "abolitionism" consists of believing that lynchings would be better if they were conducted at lilith fair

I don't know how bad this is on the GOP side, but Democrats have a huge "club" problem. There are dozens of people I could name off the top of my head who have more to say about housing policy than Larry Summers but unfortunately, none of them are DC insiders.
NEW: Before the recent Epstein disclosures, Larry Summers was poised to lead the economic policy plank for the Democrats' "Project 2029" effort at the Center for American Progress. He signed off on a housing policy paper CAP was prepping for next week.

Despite how widely popular it is on the Left, Right, and Center, nativism is as bad and as stupid as all the other isms. You are not better or more worthy than anyone bc of where you happened to grow up.
"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.

"All the rich who pay $10M for a 1,000 sqft townhome in Georgetown are going to be forced to move to West Virginia if we raise their taxes a few thousand bucks!" is, and always has been, transparently the dumbest argument of all time. The rich don't live in places like DC to save money, obviously.
When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.
But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.
A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

"Concerns over teens and adults using [e-bikes] to commit crime"
First, the evidence for that claim cited in this article is for a moped, not an e-bike, used as a getaway vehicle. Second, if slowing down getaway vehicles is so important, why no focus on cars that are 99.9999% of getaway vehicles 🤔?
