Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

Jamal is too nice to say "utter hypocrisy," but that's what this is. Today's
#SCOTUS
treats *all* coercive relief against the executive branch as imposing irreparable harm on the government. For that proposition, they cite a 2014 opinion by ... Chief Justice Roberts. Its absence here is deafening.

I think part of the reason the Pope thing is hitting so much is that modern life is so devoid of *any* morality, any system of right and wrong that is not completely hollow and fraudulent, which hits as halfway sensible and opposed to Trump and those like him, feels absolutely revolutionary

We can turn the homeless into slaves, as Louisiana plans to do. Or we can solve homelessness by giving folks homes, like they do in Finland, where their housing first approach has dramatically reduced homelessness, bucking the trend of the rest of Europe.

Conservative economics: rich people are not "elite," but people with status (cultural or political) are, no matter how little they have in the bank. IOW if people like what you have to say, your opinions should be written off, but if you got rich on stocks or influence peddling they're scripture.

This is great. A nonprofit news operation in DC set to expand in the wake of Bezos' gutting of the Post. Hiring many laid-off Post journalists. A nonprofit is the ONLY way forward if we want to rebuild the watchdog press that the oligarchs and hedge funds have destroyed.

I suspect Trump's political divorce with MTG prefigures what will happen with him and Tucker, Alex Jones, Candace Owens, Catholics, and others. He's constantly shaving off ppl from his base because he views conciliatory gestures as an unforgivable loss of face. Nothing less than domination will do.

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Hungary under Orbán was not a classic fascist or monarchical regime. It was a species of what political scientists call "competitive authoritarianism" — where elections are generally free, meaning not formally rigged, but held under extremely unfair conditions.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.
