I just don't get what the logical principle is between making one foreign policy conflict your entire existence, while not caring at all (and if we're being more accurate, mocking people who cared) about this other one, where stuff like this happens pretty much every day.

Why is the one worthy of constant, 110% anger/outrage, while the other is not?

The thing is that it’s just kind of dumb to vote for a mayor because of his stance on Palestine

A crowd of absolute idiots. All of them.

Peak "activist" narcissism. Just useless performance. That's all this is. Sabotaging a peace rally meant to honor all victims. Thoroughly pointless, counterproductive bullshit. Helpful to no one.

Whether your team lost 100, won 100 or was somewhere mediocre in between, watching the Yankees drift ever further from title relevance in October is truly heartwarming.

Three years later and all of a sudden everyone's saying it must be a psyop or a GOP op, instead of what it actually is - the place a movement gets to when there are no guardrails, no leadership, no strategy, and a capitulation to the most extreme voices.

Hasan says Democrats lost Michigan because of NAFTA, which is an incredible claim considering NAFTA-supporting Clinton flipped the state after two decades of GOP control and then won re-election in 1996 by over 10 points.

[Jeremy Wilcox @jwilcox79]

Democrats legitimately don’t get enough credit for this.

I know everyone has some competing theory about 2024, but ultimately Donald Trump became President again because the marginal American voter is a deeply stupid person who doesn't pay attention to things until they realize it has affected their daily lives.

[Armand Domalewski @ArmandDoma]

literally the mirror image of the faction of the uncommitted people that refused to vote for kamala during the general. moderates (correctly!) got angry about. let the fascists win because the Democrat isn't your ideal choice. stupid

[Charlie Rybak @charlierybak]

Put another way, consumer prices would've DECLINED the past two years without the tariffs. Brutal.

Is it environmentalist to delay and oppose transit in dense American cities? This depends on whether by environmentalist you mean 'committed to conserving our planet' or 'passionately opposed to all human activity'. Unfortunately the Center for Biological Diversity is the latter.

Man, something must have happened in November 2024.

Yes, there are people who want the Constitution to mean whatever they want it to mean. And chief among those people is Samuel Alito.

Yes we can lol

What’s the evidence on rent control?

I charted the findings from 112 studies:

Great for rent-controlled tenants ✅

But:
Pushes up rents for other people ❌
Pushes down new housing construction ❌
Pushes down building quality ❌

[Jamesetta Williams 💕 @jamesetta_w]

Perhaps because Sarah Longwell doesn’t think twice about voting for Democrats and genuinely trying to get them elected, even when she disagrees with them on some things. This is not something that progressives consistently do. @WajahatAli

We need to bring back intellectual elitism.
Sorry, but a virologist will always know more about vaccines than a yoga mommy blogger with a chat gpt AI subscription.

This passage is dangerously close to "era defining" lol
