when a newspaper is trying to sell print subscriptions, the goal is to be “the paper most worth buying to get a good idea of the news”. This model shifts the goal to “the most sensational articles where people get annoyed enough hitting paywalls to hit subscribe”

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

Effective politics requires relationships & community. Today’s parties only think about harvesting individual votes, not recognizing that the social investment will actually get them more votes & build long-term support. Good parties go even further by integrating into community life year round.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

SNAP ended hunger in America. That’s a thing we did as a society - we ended hunger. We decided that nobody should starve, and created a system to all but ensure that was true.

if we were a serious country with serious politics we would have some kind of bipartisan compromise where we judge-maxed the immigration court system and made rapid in-or-out 90 day max decisions on people. it wold be more restrictive in some ways and more permissive in others. unfortunately,

we have a dysfunctional immigration politics because there's this large population that are sorta-kinda are allowed to be here, maybe, if they keep their heads down, and we debate about how nice we should treat them based on a constantly shifting set of nebulous criteria. it's calvinball from hell.

i do think Dems should moderate on immigration in the sense that Dems should redesign our immigration policy to work like people think it works: you wait for a while (but not forever) to get into the country and then you wait for a while (but not forever) to become a citizen.

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

Yes. One of the most powerful drivers of elite political discourse right now is wishful thinking: We don't want what's happening to be happening, so we make up a story in which it in less bad and more fixable than it is. All very understandable but it is false and not helping!

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.
