So much of the current frustration roiling the Democratic base feels like its connected to a feeling of powerlessness. Powerless against Trump. Ignored by their own party leaders. Powerless in a society and economy getting upended by A.I.

Did America’s structurally fragile political system make a “Donald Trump” inevitable?

Nearly half of all Americans want to Abolish ICE. Arizona Senator @RubenGallego warns Democrats that position is “ridiculous.”

Why?

[Astead @AsteadWH]

Exclusive: Sen. @RubenGallego was once known as Rep. Eric Swalwell’s “best friend” in Congress. Now, after a flood of allegations of sexual misconduct, Gallego says he was deceived by California congressman and regrets publicly defending him

If debating public vs private school, "your home life will probably play the biggest role in your kid’s academic trajectory, regardless of which building he sits in during the day. The most important educational institution in your kid’s life is you" https://t.co/b758soSbta

"But in a fragmented media environment, traditional media remain some of the last aggregators of consumer attention. Most consumers aren’t going to spend their days listening to all the podcasts from all the corporate CEOs." https://t.co/xdsYjOTODZ

It’s okay for hard things to be hard. On the subject of AI and writing, I like the way George Saunders puts it:

[Nisha Chittal @NishaChittal]

"Rather than deepening social media’s effects on public opinion, AI may partially reverse them — by increasing the influence of credentialed experts and fostering greater consensus about factual reality." https://t.co/UjpXYgKZKI

Thinking of friends and former colleagues at the Washington Post today. A depressing day for the post and for the media industry as a whole.

A thoughtful piece from @SigalSamuel: "For you, the tricky question is: How do you get someone to realize that they’re in a dual state, when its darker half has not yet touched their life personally?" https://t.co/J86FrF2Soh

"So it’s not only that federal agents kill an American citizen like authoritarian thugs, but their superiors in Washington justified that killing with the kind of bald-faced lie that recalls Tehran and Moscow." https://t.co/xRbsw5qkmd
