Stupid argument because if they really thought economic mobility was the main problem they’d just ban trans athletes in collegiate sports, not high school. I think that would be evil too but I don’t appreciate being talked down to on top of that

Excited to announce that I'm running for 32nd Ward Alderperson! Please join me on July 7th at Beermiscuous to help me launch my campaign.

*trade meme* YOU RECEIVE: The ability to morally condemn a few lefties on the internet I RECEIVE: the Democratic Primary electorate adopts the left-wing consensus on whether we should be arming North South Africa

Yes. And also people have stopped giving a shit about this kind of gross shit. And that's fundamentally down to the major groups organizing against antisemitism's resolute insistence that anyone who wants Israeli genocide to stop is a Jew-hater.

Yeah, I think a lot about this because I've covered elections for so long. Even in 2018, an insurgent candidate needed the MSM in a way he/she doesn't now. A long, substantive Hasan stream does you much more good than a cable hit where you are asked the same 4 questions.

John Hinckley Jr. in 1981

there are a lot of stabbings the world over, and yet you focus on my stabby friend I keep gifting steak knives, how interesting

fwiw I agree with Dan Goldman, we should stop arming the Ugandan government with every weapon it asks for with no conditions or questions asked

Tapper is also the same guy who literally made up a quote from Rashida Tlaib and spent two weeks slandering her with it before being forced to rescind it on television, and he never apologized.

Watching the results from Denver. I’ve seen enough: centrists who want to stop the left must abandon YIMBYism. Grouping college educated middle income urbanites together is like giving your opponent a loaded gun

“The executive of the modern State is but a committee for managing the common affairs of the whole bourgeoisie,” thundered the prophet Marx in 1848. The Supreme Court of the United States in 2026 says “Amen.” www.unpopularfront.news/p/no-touch-m...

You don't get to cry foul and throw a fit when Israeli leaders themselves routinely, proudly, and openly proclaim that they're waging a war against all Shia, and arguably all Lebanese, and that they're proud to destroy literally a hundred villages, and bomb random hospitals, and schools.

[guy who only just learned about the Nicene Creed a few days ago]

unless we get the promised DSA insurrection it's gonna be like roe v wade, where democrats campaign on protecting it while behaving like it's actually settled, and republicans strategize on how to chip away at it (the news of which is emphasized in dem fundraising emails) and eventually overturn it

[several loud incorrect buzzer noises in quick succession, really just a sudden cacophony of BZZZZT BZBZBZBZBZZTBZZZT]

5-4 on maybe the most straightforward question ever put to the test in postwar history is genuinely an abomination. Destroy the Court.

I would give right-wing Democrats a lot less shit about wanting to “moderate” the party to win the Senate if I genuinely thought it would result in a majority willing to do things like pack the Supreme Court with a Democratic administration’s picks but they largely don’t

Vox is up there with the Atlantic in terms of the impact it has had on political discourse (derogatory)

just heard Yglesias's voice last year and I have no idea how ppl keep letting him speak persuasively. he speaks in the same tone of voice that Stavros Halkias laughs in

Kid took her first steps unassisted last night. Started doing cardio so I can keep up

ezra's politics seem to be largely "bill maher for people who post about being introverts"

Getting kids off of phones is a good idea. But Project 2025 wasn’t just ideas that conservatives thought were good, let alone popular. It was a plan to consolidate power in the executive and use it to crush their enemies. This would be an act of Congress!

Bluesky users avoid talking as if every post is being beamed out to millions of open-minded voters in real time challenge (difficulty: impossible)

As with some other things, i suspect if we have another dem president we will discover that the court did not so much transfer power to the executive as to themselves, ie they will find novel bullshit reasons to block a dem president the same way the find novel bullshit reasons to enable trump

Typically I find the policy blog industrial complex insufferable but they’re right about air conditioning. Took my baby outside to run an errand and it sucks out there

On top of that, a lot of the elites and pundits who seethe about DSA all day long also hate Indivisible. To the extent that they can offer an ideological alternative to socialist orgs it’s not one that they find acceptable

FOUR DEAD IN OHIO

Wait are there no show animals at the great America state fair

I've come around to deciding that it's actually good that they keep asking Zohran this question because it clarifies to the listener that a Jewish state and a state of all its citizens are not compatible and the people asking the question are implicitly acknowledging that they know that.

Interesting to ponder: anti-left partisans have either continued to defend America’s relationship with Israel or have gone completely radio silent about it, but none to my knowledge have advocated that their faves dump the Israelis overboard even though the public agrees with us on the issue. Why?

"gentrification" is the perfect issue to discourse on, it's both vague and extremely charged, everybody can have the most inflammatory interpretation of all the other posts, we can all just yell past each other about it.

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

Zohran Mamdani grew up Muslim as a political strategy

It’s hard to encapsulate how fucking stupid this Substack was

re: Scott Weiner, I’m actually very willing to look the other way when politicians cynically go from being pro-Israel extremists to publicly saying we should treat it like a normal country, but I don’t really care if some wingnuts don’t buy the act and said politicians get yelled at

Incredibly funny for a bunch of reasons (not least that it somehow manages to overestimate DSA’s volunteer capacity) but think about what an anti-DSA organization would look like and the demographic that would join it

First funeral I’ve been to where the eulogy was “took him long enough”

Americans when they hear Europeans don't have air conditioning

Don’t like Culver’s. Feel bad every time I eat there

The last time Fetterman was unleashed he jammed fifty children into his great iron cauldron to make stew and had to be lulled into slumber by a beautiful maiden playing a lyre

Newly unearthed letters from a Captain Walton indicate that Fetterman was last spotted luring DSA into the frigid north

hahahahahah….wait let me catch my breath…..HAHAHAHAHA

There's been a lot of bad faith misreading of me going around. Let me set the record straight: I am a big believer in the Holocaust.

“Is Zohran Mamdani an incrementalist” assumes that incrementalism isn’t just a rhetorical device. I think most people on either side of the question are really just trying to brand themselves as being smart and claiming a popular figure for themselves as clout

i love olivia reingold so much. she's a top contender for dumbest "journalist" in the entirety of human history

A friend of mine’s dad is a big Trump guy that has put a bunch of wacko signs out in his front yard, including “Biden Gas Prices Suck Balls” from about 2022-2024. Drove by for the first time since the Iran War kicked off and he’s still on board 👍

That’s cool. I want Republicans to be persecuted and in the unlikely case that I get even a fraction of that I will be grinning like a hyena

thought of some more people we should kill
