I think a lot of the world looks at the US and sees 330 million spoiled, stupid rich people and I wish it was easier to explain why that's wrong to people who've only seen New York and maybe DC or LA, but you can never convince them that they don't understand the whole thing.

The tragedies too btw. Me in 2006; If the Greek - Troy war even happened it didnāt last 10 years and it surely wasnāt really about the Spartan queen banging the Troy crownprince. Me in 2026; Seen some far crazier shit happen than that.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this: America's problems are solved problems. Just not here. What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. š§µ

To add to this, almost all of the U.S.ās problems are linked to its hatred of Black people and that it hates Black people more than it loves anyone else. Our laws and policies are largely based on making sure Black people (and sometimes other groups) donāt benefit even at the expense of others.

If you can't write a grad school application on your own, you absolutely should not go to grad school. That's actually a good sign that it's not for you. There are other things you can do with your life.

People who were actually enslaved believed that chattel slavery would end one day. I'm sorry but to me that suggests that you [who are not enslaved in 2026] can also imagine an end to the current horrors.

Whether it's Trump creating his own personal Gestapo that murders unarmed civilians or Barack Obama wearing a tan suit to a press conference, both presidents made the nation deeply uneasy.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad itās the leftās fault, and if the right does something bad, itās also the leftās fault for making them do it. Itās a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

There wonāt be a White House when Trump is finished. Itāll be Mar-a-Lago North. Trumpās planning to add a 2nd story to the West Wing to ārestore symmetryā after his ballroom is done. And weāre supposed to believe itās paid for by private donors who expect nothing in return. Nothing to see here.

Weird to be commemorating the 250th anniversary of the Am Rev while living under a government that has a) sent armed troops to occupy cities perceived to be too rebellious, b) rendered largely irrelevant the representative branch of government, and c) claimed imperial right to rule other countries.

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

My real question is after losing their healthcare, paying $25 bucks for eggs, paying more in tarrifs and watching trillionaires and oil companies thrive from pure, object grift, will white Americans still let racism keep them from happiness or is it worth it as long as y'all have someone to hate?

My position on impeachment is the same as it was six months ago: Impeachment is first about driving public attention to Trumpās crimes and corruption. Democrats should introduce impeachment articles and force votes to boost their parallel media effort. Performative public investigations matter.

as a christian, the "problem of evil" is definitely hairy but two millennia of theology have turned out some compelling ideas that have helped me grapple with that question. but the problem of why it seems like so many christians are so uniquely bad... yeah, that's a tough one.

No matter how dumb things seem, they can apparently always be dumber: "Mr. Maduro's regular public dancing and other displays of nonchalance in recent weeks helped persuade some on the Trump team that the Venezuelan president was mocking them and trying to call what he believed to be a bluff"

The total failure of elite accountability. An šŗšø tradition dating back at least to 1865 & Appomattox. The reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in šŗšø politics is because there are never any legal or personal consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in šŗšø politics.
