you pity the moth confusing a lamp for the moon, yet here you are confusing a screen for the world

One thing I think is important for discourse that 1000% will not be mentioned is that being against ICE murdering people in the street =/ anything other than being against ICE murdering people in the street.

You want to remove every single person that has any paperwork discrepancy? Thats a debate for another day. But do it with people that are actually trained and physically/mentally capable of doing it

Statement from the family of Alex Pretti, Michael and Susan Pretti: 

“We are heartbroken but also very angry. 

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman. 

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you”

Yeah wrap it up. ICE shit., the tariffs on everything, the whole Greenland shtick, going against allies, the ballroom, redacting the Epstein Files, this Administration, etc. Wrap it all up. Done with it.

Worst Presidency in history, it ain’t even close, & we’re barely a year in.

Surest way to know someone is hopelessly full of shit is they cannot admit they’re wrong.

Quintessential American story of assimilation: grandparents emigrate here - from Cuba - in search of a better life, and two generations later, their son is a star in the world's most American sport. And RW trolls are still miserable because Mendoza is bilingual.

The UCSD math department administered a test to 138 students in a remedial math class, and 25% of them got this question wrong:

What makes me most angry is that there's nothing Americans "get" from destroying USAID in a way that directly results in the death of the world's poorest children. It barely even qualifies as an act of selfishness. We're doing it for nothing. The debt picture is completely unchanged.

Being an insanely rich country that controls its own currency means we have a genuinely magical ability to save hundreds of thousands of lives around the world with a budgetary rounding error. And MAGA's like: "No thanks, it sounds woke."

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

“That’s so Orwellian” is a very tired cliché but, “I believe in free speech unless you use the word fascist, in which case you’ll suffer the full power of state punishment” is something I think George would be proud to come up with. The principle would be something like:

The rights of the totally-not-authoritarian government to behave in an authoritarian fashion are granted whenever and wherever the public accuses the government of behaving in an authoritarian fashion.

[Jonathan Haidt @JonHaidt]

We must repudiate the idea that "speech can be violence" once and for all. @glukianoff and I wrote about the dangers of promoting this idea on college campuses back in 2017, in @TheAtlantic:

With all that's going on in the world, it's easy to get locked into consumption mode. Scrolling & watching news all day.

A study after the Boston Marathon bombing found: Those who watched 6+ hours of coverage reported more stress than those who were directly impacted by the attack.

[Rep. Jim McGovern @RepMcGovern]

Thousands of family farms support basic humane standards for farm animals, just as two-thirds of all Americans do. But @HouseAgGOP silenced their voices at today’s hearing. Not on my watch.

That’s why, when Republicans invited Big Ag lobbyists to argue for putting animals back in confinement crates, I made sure farmers who support #prop12 had a seat at the table. Their livelihoods are at stake – and their voices deserve to be heard.

This is like watching an actor who doesn’t smoke pretend to smoke on camera. Painful lol

[Renu Mukherjee @RenuMukherjee1]

Mamdani’s mother is a world-famous, Academy Award-nominated Bollywood director worth tens of millions of dollars. His father is a chaired professor at Columbia.

He is, in effect, a perpetual theatre kid who’s pretending to be “Third World.” It’s all so, so performative + stupid.

Most people have heard of the term homeostasis, but few have heard of the term allostasis. Yet it's the latter that holds the key to navigating change, chaos, and overcoming challenges: https://t.co/CKNvf7rXG0

They know they are kicking millions of people off their health insurance. They know. They are writing it down on paper.

And they are doing it anyway.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

I think it's rude to over-generalize, but my opinion of a lot of left-wing media is unfortunately well-summarized by these two facts:

1. The Chapo guys refused, repeatedly, to talk to me and Ezra after we were pitched for their show during the abundance tour.

2. Now, Will insists that my inviting Mamdani on my show to discuss our political disagreements (like, half the podcast is about how we don't see eye to eye on housing policy and transit costs) amounts to my total capitulation to the tenets of democratic socialism.

If you think the only way to talk to somebody you disagree with is to first surrender to them, you don't have a theory of persuasion. You have a theory of insularity and insecurity.

Anyway, Mamdani was really wonderful to talk to, and we still disagree about housing, rent freezes, transit costs, public sector unions, the degree to which NYC's problems are principally a function of insufficient spending, etc. It's okay to have conversations with people you think are wrong and who think you're wrong. It's fine! Not that painful. Kinda fun even.
