Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'? Yeah, I'm not honoring that ... it's unfortunate more of my colleagues even on my side couldn't see the amount of harm this man was attempting to inflict upon our communities"

A great golden dragonfly, with wide, iridescent wings, quietly perched above a squalid and writhing jungle floor, fungus and ferns crawl across the canopy of a great rotten tree, the insects eyes track for withered signs of chitinous life in the undergrowth.

I'm not a political scientist but if you're advice to the Democratic Party is pushing out unions, immigrants, and queers then I think there's already a party for that

Nobody with money seems to even care about the quality of the product they create. They just care that it can be made cheaply. Why would anyone want to pay for the Washington Post if this is what it is?

A New Yorker style cartoon of two cyclists (implied to be American tourists) cycling leisurely over a picturesque canal bridge in Amsterdam. One is speaking to the other and a caption reads, "If anyone proposed this in my town I'd kill them."

A comment below the cartoon reads, "It may work in Europe and Asia, but not the real world." The comment has multiple laugh reacts.

Liberals' 'Abundance' Discourse Is Good for Trump and Musk -- and Bad for Dems Ezra Klein’s new book, β€œAbundance,” and an oligarch-funded movement aims to kill off the Democratic Party’s populist uprising.

"The Abundance Discourse: It writes America’s central scarcity problem β€” corporate power β€” out of the economic story, encourages Democrats to focus on the wrong solutions, and elevates deregulatory narratives already being weaponized by the right. "
