madness

It's amazing what it says about income inequality that the math on this proposal actually works.

Point/Counterpoint This War Will Shut Off 20% of the Global Petroleum Supply for A Month and Send the Economy into a Stagflationary Tailspin vs. No It Won’t Published: March 26, 2003

its gotten dramatically worse over the last 15 years but its always been an expensive city yes

Why San Diego is Becoming Unaffordable (Supervisor’s Honest Take) 📉 YouTube video by San Diego Politics Show

How does the San Diego affordability crisis intersect with local cities running budget deficits? Supervisor Monica Montgomery Steppe broke it down for us on our last episode www.youtube.com/shorts/PADAH...

Worse than the worst War on Terror drone strikes. By innocents killed, worse than multiple of the worst drone strike errors combined.

health of a society is inversely proportional to how badly you need a dashcam in it

I'll be there at the one in San Diego

The next No Kings is March 28th.

March against war. March for impeachment. March to Abolish ICE. March for universal healthcare. March for trans rights.

Whatever you want on your sign, we can all come together and give a real clear data point on what needs to happen in this country.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

A cabinet resignation so soon in the new administration would be treated as a historical stop-the-presses fuck up and scandal by the old political press (Clinton, Bush, Obama and Biden had 0 cabinet resignations/firings this early in their term). For Trump they will set up "comeback kid" narrative

Ya to clarify what I meant I think the fact that MAGA thinks it's cool is one of the things that will keep it in the news - stuff that is straight up embarrassing or bad for them gets buried more easily but think injuring a restrained protester is good and they're gonna brag about this

I think people with large accounts should question their value if their audiences are this dense. But then again this is the intended goal of someone like Ken.

Iranian state media reported blasts in Tehran and Karaj.

Preston Brooks resigned after caning Charles Sumner (and then was resoundingly reelected anyway) but we are maybe in a more fucked-up era than the antebellum period bsky.app/profile/elkm...

just a randomly prediction, i think people are sleeping on the virality and durability of the "tim sheehy breaks the marine protester's arm" story in the coming days and weeks

Go on

We need better Democrats.

Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.

I don't have a problem with Tim. But I do think it is deleterious that so many smart people spend so much time on X, which has essentially become an algorithmically and AI-optimized far-right MAGA message testing and propaganda machine. People assume X posts represent the masses, but they don't!

We drew down Lake Meade to deadpool to get enough water to make this but it was worth it bsky.app/profile/crai...

Maybe like 3 out of every 4 posts are non-political to kinda get people on board before you drop the "AI John Wayne says Trump is a Russian agent!" video idk

The move is clearly AI Reagan and AI John Wayne who do nothing but spout incongruously 2020s liberal-coded opinions about Trump being bad. bsky.app/profile/norm...

thank you!

Why, though? Convincing, credulous dumb guys of stuff is easier than convincing smart, critically minded people. Like almost tautologically. bsky.app/profile/thir...

I was almost gonna say "the dumbest motherfucker you know's vote counts just as much as yours" but honestly given how the senate works, what the swing states are, etc etc the dumbest motherfucker you know's vote probably counts way more than yours does.
