Polymarket is basically a 'do you think you can run an insurance company successfully' roll play game

1/2 Some reporter should ask him: 'Is it true you were never convicted of rape. Did you, without consent, slam E Jean Carol against the wall (hurting the back of her head) and digitally penetrate her before doing so with your penis (causing vaginal pain)?'

Progressives in Hungary felt that way too. Horrible districting and oligarch controlled media consolidation made the odds of beating Orban long. And nobody was really particularly excited about Magyar specifically. But when over 70% of eligible voters turned out and voted, none of that mattered.

In general, this tax idea fits into the increasing trend toward “slopulism” in Democratic policymaking — the idea that a modern government can be funded solely on the backs of the super-rich, while the merely-rich get big tax cuts. substack.com/redirect/61c...

Alright, US progressives, this is it. Let's pull off a Magyar vs Orban. The odds were against Magyar due to district rigging and media takeovers, but over 70% voter turnout made that not matter, even though few were actually enthusiastic about Magyar. GET OUT THE VOTE!!!

I’ve never been a member of a political party before and never thought I’d be inspired enough to become one. Today I joined the Green Party.

The reporter who asked this question is a veteran journalist, Rachel Scott. She is also a Black American. Trump called her question stupid and twice seemed to imply she was comfortable with dirt. Just naked misogyny and racism

Justin J. Pearson: “This new MAGA movement, it is an iteration of the Klan. It has mainstreamed racism, it has mainstreamed white supremacy, it has mainstreamed bigotry, homophobia, transphobia. It has mainstreamed all the worst of who we are as a country. This is a victory lap for white supremacy”

ICE at polling places is against federal and state law. But after months of contradictory messages from administration, interim AG Blanche says it is ok to deploy ICE to polling locations. www.newsfromthestates.com/article/ice-...

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026... “[The DoJ approach] is misleading because they’re including ineligible voters in the denominator,” said Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida who is one of the nation’s leading experts on voter turnout.

Replace the office with a magic 8 ball www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... Donald Trump also said an agreement with Tehran on ending the war “might not happen, but it could happen any day”.

SCOOP: A confidential new CIA analysis delivered to policymakers this week concludes that Iran can survive the U.S. naval blockade for at least 3 to 4 months before facing more severe economic hardship, a finding that contradicts those hailing an imminent collapse 🧵

"It’s important to call out Trump, who’s always worn his misogynoir on his sleeve, and his administration’s blatant and disproportionate targeting of the Black women who speak out against him."

This semester I taught a course on the History of the Far Right in the US. We were lucky to have one of the Pacific Northwest's best contemporary chroniclers and interpreters of the far right, @leahsottile.bsky.social, visit the class. This piece by Leah was inspired by what she heard students say.

As extreme politics have normalized, young people have grown up not knowing any other way. For months, I've spent time getting to know 10 college students who literally do not recall a time in America without Trump. My latest for @thewesternedge.bsky.social www.thewesternedge.media/p/the-age-of...

I left Twitter. Screw Musk. I left Amazon. Screw Bezos. I left Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp. Screw Zuckerberg. I can't take away the money and influence these soulless, grotesque oligarchs have. But I can and do refuse to give them another penny from me.

But if we give poor people money, they will do less crime and also join the military less frequently for the financial incentives Then who will die in the oil wars or provide the prison slave labor????

Congratulations @propublica.org on yet another well deserved Pulitzer prize

If what is reported as a fertilizer price spike starts being reported as fertilizer shortages, a new level of panic will ensue

I think it's great and important that states like CA or VA are fighting back but it doesn't change the fact that millions of Black Americans across the South could/will be disenfranchised and deserve equal rights under the law.

A friend asks: “Has it occurred to anyone that the MAGAs think you have to show IDs at restaurants because they’ve been eating all their meals at strip clubs? This isn’t even an unreasonable theory”
