Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Kansas Dem Sen. nominee Adam Hamilton on trans rights: “I don’t think we should take a small group of people and bully them, pick on them, and hurt them. I understand one thing really clearly when it comes to transgender people, and that is Jesus told me I was to love my neighbor as I love myself”

Dr. Amy Acton's campaign is out with a statement:

What this piece says—and then derangedly refuses to hear itself saying!!—is that seniors spend less money because the American work force got its stable, guaranteed pensions taken away and replaced with personal investment savings. And then it wonders why they're risk-averse with the money!

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

"I would rather have the Republicans keep the house." - James Carville

The Trump administration’s cuts to weather satellites will set the country back nearly a decade, experts say. https://cnn.it/483oQr5

everyone knows this but it still has to be said: a president who makes "improving a local good course" a public priority does not care about being a president. the country is his house and he's redecorating with your money.

A retired Penn professor has been blocking Uber Eats robots for months in protest. This week, she was arrested for disorderly conduct

Re the last repost, one of the things that has stuck from my time in the behavioural science snake oil mines was an experiment where if people planned a week of movie viewing they would pick a mix of genres, some 'highbrow' etc but if they picked day to day it was all the same stuff

This is going to be very appealing to the all-important "After three days, I suddenly noticed that my child was missing" voting demographic.

My heart breaks for mathematicians whose lives and careers are being destroyed by AI — and especially this PhD student, who doesn’t even know he is a poet

i simply want democrats to be the version of themselves that steven miller conjures in his nightmares

I say we tally up all the times JD Vance has brought up the subject of transgender kids in public and all the times Talarico has brought it up to see exactly which one's hard drive we need to inspect.

You know, the thing is, I had drafted this piece a month ago, and then never published it, because I thought maybe it was too mean.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Turns out the friction of having to learn photoshop was a crucial firewall protecting society from the terrible taste of small business owners

Not only should brooks and others shut up. But Ossoff is the best example in the country of a Democrat playing dominance politics and using it to control the whole terms of his race.

Weird that this industrial equipment manufacturer has the same slogan as the Trump administration.

This would sink a presidency in any other era. I would bet most Americans will never hear it even happened.

The missing pages of the Das Kapital have been found

looked up mine and this is killing me lmao

The white evangelical movement split in the 1970s so those who hated civil rights, especially for women, could boost right-wing Republicans. Talarico is reclaiming the movement for the others, and it is a very different thing indeed. Jimmy Carter v. Jerry Falwell.

feels like at least part of what is happening is that a lot of people want politics to solve the "my life feels empty" problem and the populist right is directly appealing to them

If I were a single-issue voter, my single issue would be that 99% of the GOP belong in prison

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap

There's growing experimental evidence¹˒²˒³˒⁴ that LLMs are unusually good at talking people out of entrenched false beliefs and conspiracy theories. ¹ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39264999/ ² pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41179846/ ³ sciety.org/articles/act... ⁴ connecticut.adl.org/resources/re...

should be instructive for democrats that Magyar is living up to his promise to prosecute Orban officials for corruption and is continuing to poll extremely highly

Sure, the 2024 election was one too, but 2026 might be the clearest intelligence test ever presented to the American electorate. Taken at face value, he's saying he stole hundreds of billions from the gov't, hid it somewhere Congress can't reach, and he pinky swears he will give you a piece. Really.

every lever of power in the so-called American liberal order – from the ostensibly liberal government to the ostensibly liberal media to ostensibly liberal academia – are all laser focused on one single thing...the state of Israel must be allowed to massacre as many Palestinians as they wish

Glad about the result, but I don’t think it speaks well of us as a country that after two years of human rights violations, war crimes, naked gangster corruption, and contempt for the Constitution, he’s finally unpopular because gas got expensive.

Being a leftist means taking big shots. And making them.

A couple quick observations here, which should be obvious. 1) insurance “risk pools” work by requiring younger/healthier people who make few or no claims to sign up and pay premiums alongside older/less healthy people who do, essentially covering their costs.

Hannity's list of "TRUMP'S TOP ACCOMPLISHMENTS" includes restoring Confederate names to military bases and releasing dietary guidelines

Don't know who made this. But we love you for making it ❤️
