A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

The plummeting of Israel's standing among the Democratic coalition is one of those rather unique situations where different factions of the party all seem to have their own distinct reasons for being fed up with the partnership between the US & Israel.

Is anyone still in denial that Schumer has a preference for candidates who possess views wildly out of step with the base of the party

I'm so glad this brave law enforcement officer is OK after being violently smirked at. Praying for him and his family

i support whichever candidate will vow to eradicate palantir and its owners

When femicide is in the news, I find the accountability dodge coming from some BM to be especially disgusting. You can't retreat into excuses about the inherent trauma of being a Black man in America when you won't even do the bare minimum of confronting those within your own communal spaces.

The Big Apostrophe and Chennedy on the court together😭😭. This means something to me!!

Natasha Cloud not being on a roster currently is indefensible from a pure basketball perspective, and it seems increasingly obvious that she's being blackballed.

The Strokes played Coachella against a backdrop listing all the world leaders that had been assassinated by the CIA, a count of the number of universities bombed in Iran, and footage of the bombing of the last university in Gaza

"Independent bookstores make quiet comeback as big chains dominate retail" "About 422 indie bookshops opened in 2025, up 31%, defying predictions of retail consolidation"

New 'W season means I have to break it down again Favorite player: A'ja Wilson Secondary favorites: Angel Reese, Cam Brink, Sonia Citron Favorite team: Aces 2nd team: Dream Hate watch: Fever & Sky Team I'm regionally obligated to support even though I already dislike them: Portland Fire

The Democrats sense that they're gonna cruise to midterm victory by doing nothing and offering nothing and are using it as a freebie to punch left to make sure the voters don't get any ideas.

Centrist Dems won’t shut up about how we’re too mean and condescending to Trump voters and how electoral expediency requires us to welcome them back into the fold. Maybe that’s true and maybe it’s not, but it’s bizarre not to extend the same argument to people who already vote for you.

There’s a reason Republicans don’t constantly shit on their own voters and that’s because it is an abysmal strategy for winning elections

A simmering intraparty fight that I'm endlessly fascinated by is the long running tension between Obama & Biden's respective camps. Though if we're being honest, the latter is mostly snippy because they recognize on some level that their influence is basically cooked.

Nike's grip on the shoe market has been incredibly battered for multiple reasons (most of them self-inflicted imho), which has had some major downstream effects on sneaker culture. But I'd argue that this next generation of WNBA superstars will lead the revitalization of sneaker culture.

Oh it turns out that vanquishing the college student who uses they/them in their email signature is not bringing you the fulfillment that you hoped for? You are still working in your crappy and unfulfilling job, paying a mortgage you now can't afford, and dealing with your annoying kids... I see.

this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990

Absolutely, part of what we’re seeing is an anti-woke coalition that won, they beat back the organizers and activists pushing for radical change but they have to pretend they didn’t dictate the strategy of the last campaign and the party overall.

Every time a Democrat mentions how to talk to "ordinary people" they mean "how I was told to talk by a handful of weirdo consultants in DC with gross fixations on throwing certain groups under the bus and who would not last a day in an ordinary job interacting with ordinary people."

Amazing that in the national divorce the libs are getting the NFL, butter and cooking oil, being attracted to adult women, standup comedy, Bud Light, and now also Catholicism

Just a brain dead complaint in every possible way. Was he reading this on Freedom Eagle 5's Facebook page?

Bron has 7 assists in 7 minutes 😤

Isgur is such a fucking hack. the case she’s referring to is one where the 5th Circuit entered a stay and it was appealed to SCOTUS. the case in the Times story involved the Court intervening to stay an EPA rule while a lower court was still adjudicating the issue.

The stupidest take you ever saw. Comparing a twitch streamer to a genocidal war criminal... Both these things are the same. I am Very Smart. 🧠🧠

Marvel deciding to have the plot of 'Doomsday' pick up right after the events of Endgame - thereby erasing the last 7 years worth of films & TV shows - is a weirdly hilarious way to basically just throw in the towel on that entire phase of projects.

If the Wolves manage to knock the Nuggets out of the playoffs yet again I will be buying a rather large bottle of champagne.

I've been far more complementary than others about the new NBA media setup. But walling off 3/4 of opening day playoff games on Prime is just next level greed.

highly recommend this book by Adam Johnson of @citationspod.bsky.social, which soberly lays out the hard data of the discourse that center-left media has decided is acceptable, in which Palestinians are not allowed humanity

“Look me up and you’ll see that I voluntarily joined ICE in 2025” is a great message to Minneapolis voters lol

Even among the most liberal of circles there is a degree of sneering around racial justice concepts (Still haven't forgot about that DSA dipshit whining about the "Woke Times") which were - very briefly - in the public consciousness in 2020. To me that telegraphs what their organizing intentions are

It’s funny that every school is convinced that dumping area studies and student organizations for Black students is the path to “regaining trust”

Again when people pointed out “Western chauvinism” was a euphemism for white supremacy people rolled their eyes and made jerking hand motions while pushing PR for the Proud Boys

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Watts trying to coax Chuck Schumer into getting involved in the Michigan primary - and thinking that will help no less - to push McMorrow over the top is hilarious on like 5 different levels.

Watching that Dream press conference, and Angel talking about how it feels to have a GM & front office who actually want her there... The Chicago Sky will CRUMBLE

you are not a violent abuser BECAUSE you have mental health issues. You can be a violent abuser who is ALSO mentally ill. The mental illness is not the cause of your domestic violence.

This means something to me!!! 😭

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Here at the Atlanta Dream introductory press conference for its free agents. Will share updates.

Between this guy, Ron Paul, and Donald Trump we have to internalize the fact that bad faith actors will absolutely adopt the pose and language of resistance in the name of reactionary politics and demand a positive agenda to judge character.

Hell yes

An underrated upside of the local radio era (for hip-hop at least) was the rivalries that would crop up between various competing DJ's & station managers. It often led to some really cool choices around what types of sub-genres and styles each station would lean into as a way to grow their audience

Because people are realizing that "convenience" means paying a shitload of money to basically rent a movie or song you never own and everyone is tired of it. I'm not even a physical media stan and I think it's pretty obvious and makes all the sense in the world

I’m going to be annoyed for life by the way people convinced themselves that opposing things like racism and transphobia meant you’d been “duped” by elites.

It is super-awesome that the pied-a-terre law was crafted in such a way that you cannot claim to be a New Yorker who's affected by it, because that will also be an admission that you're committing tax fraud. It's the perfect tax! No constituency can be opposed to it!

“Kraken’s CEO told staff he thought white people should be able to use the n-word at work, while Coinbase’s CEO Brian Armstrong banned the phrase “Black Lives Matter” among his workforce…”

Yeah men aren't violent to women because of their mental health issues. That's a social problem. Most people with mental health issues aren't taking it out with murder. The answers are looking at masculinity, not mental health.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

no one will ever throw people under the bus like this guy, the best ever to do it
