Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all.

Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on.

Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9?

Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?

BREAKING: "Speculative data center debt is being repackaged and sold to pension and retirement funds, university endowments, and other institutional investors in a manner eerily reminiscent of the subprime bubble," per AFR

ICE is hunting down immigrants with the help of Palantir.

In six months, Palantir’s founder, @PeterThiel, will be able to start spending unimaginable sums of money —completely tax-free — to bankroll the political causes dear to his heart.

He'll be able to do it thanks to a tax-avoidance scheme he’s been building for more than 20 years, at a staggering cost to the American taxpayer.

Let me explain. 🧵

A one-time 5% wealth tax would bring Silicon Valley’s billionaires’ wealth back to where it was just 31 days ago, on September 7.

When it was "just" 178% higher than on January 1, 2023.

They’d rather let 3 million people lose their health insurance than let that happen.

1,200 sexual assault cases were filed at Cornell from 2018 to 2024. Most of those found responsible received minor sanctions that allowed them to remain on campus, such as probation or training. Only 7 ended in expulsion or dismissal.

@ryancbriggs Thanks!

Jimmy Dore is right. Capitalism died long ago.

The rentier elites no longer need a market. They need the state, and they have it: an economy planned by Wall Street and enforced by the Federal Reserve. Bail out the banks, print the money, inflate the assets, freeze the wage.

They invented the "welfare queen" so you would spend four decades furious at a woman buying steak with food stamps.

The real welfare queens are oligarchs with a treasury and a printing press.

They socialize the losses, extract the wealth, and bill you three times: in frozen wages, in rising rents, in ever-growing debts.

The news might surprise some, confuse others, and frustrate most, but how did we get here?

We review the timeline to try to educate and determine why it's another Dispersal Summer in the NLL as the league says farewell again to Philadelphia and Ottawa.

@StephanieKelton @stonybrooku Stony Brook is a great uni, but it's not SUNY's flagship. Buffalo is. Both better and cheaper options than Syracuse.

@jessesmithsoc I remember it had a moment in sociology via Norman Denzen and Gender scholars in the late 90s/early 2000s.
