ICYMI: @rynnreed.bsky.social compared the RNC's response to their 2012 loss to the Democrats' loss in 2024.

In our most ambitious piece to date, @rynnreed.bsky.social does a deep dive into the RNC's 2012 Growth and Opportunity Project—and asks the question of why the DNC hasn't done a serious audit of their own. A must-read. (4/4)

🧵 Liberal elites have become pathological, so committed to their own Rawlsian neutrality that they are unable and unwilling to defend their own philosophy. This thread is a summary of the latest "Theory of Change" episode featuring @polphilpod.bsky.social. Continue here or click through 👇

This week at Signal Break, @rynnreed.bsky.social and I wrote about how grief and mourning shape collective memory.

This shooter was so far right he’s off the ideological map

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

It’s a real failure of the terminally online that we don’t have a mean name for the people who argue with grok.

Well now that Kpop Demon Slayer is my new special interest…who wants to learn Korean and figure out how to hit those high notes

Meet Shakira. Ten years ago, she was living in a shelter with her three kids, working at a non-union hotel. Now she's a member of HTC. Unions are how working people can build a dignified life. But in a city as expensive as ours, they need local government on their side.

If you send me a voice note that is over 1 minute long and it’s not full of piping hot tea, rest assured you are dead to me now.

We are doing more to protect the meat industry from screwtape worms than we are to protect humans from extinction. Make it make sense.

NEW from @kashhill.bsky.social and me: Over three weeks in May, a man became convinced by ChatGPT that the fate of the world rested on his shoulders. Otherwise perfectly sane, Allan Brooks is part of a growing number of people getting into chatbot-induced delusional spirals. This is his story.

Social media chefs are a clear recession indicator - why are all the ones I follow showing me exclusively canned food recipes

They killed that man.

ICYMI—Why the Democrats' digital game is faltering—w/ @rynnreed.bsky.social (And subscribe to Signal Break!)

Idc if this makes someone mad but I will not have a 9 pm meeting just because someone is on the west coast. You get eternal sunshine, we live in a ghastly hellscape - working in our time zone is the tradeoff.

So excited to be launching Signal Break w/ @rynnreed.bsky.social We need a new political playbook if we're going to defeat rising authoritarianism. Subscribe here: signalbreak.substack.com

I will never forgive this administration for the millions of women who are afraid to start families because of their policies. Our futures are being stolen from us.

I always come away from X realizing that men miss doing, and bragging about, manual labor. They’re constantly one upping each other about how hard they worked for abusive companies They need manual labor the way puppies need to play until they get worn out, then maybe they won’t tear apart society.

Chatted with @matthew.flux.community last week about the state of American politics, the way social media has changed the landscape and how we’re addressing it at Creator Congress! Check it out.

Cuomo: I am now running on affordability. Also Cuomo: there is no “real answer” on affordability.

I will pay for googles products if it means they stop trying to force me to us AI

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

One country striking another country with which it is not at war is not a “preemptive strike.”

Cuomo keeps othering Muslims. He implied that Muslims are all immigrants. Cuomo is a bigot. #NY1Debate

lol Cuomo trying to say his well documented history of sexual harassment is just "bold faced lies"

All these candidates taking shots at Zohran right off the bat is just a reminder that all the fear mongering around Cuomo is lipservice. Liberals would rather a fascist over a progressive - every time.

We’re one cycle away from all the abundance people trying to sell us crypto.

forcing JD Vance into the middle of this against his will is such an incredible bonus

My theory is that some of the most dangerous people in America are smart, introverted techies who never understood why anyone majored in the liberal arts in college, graduated college and began reading and misunderstanding texts liberal arts majors were taught to read properly, and became fascists.

Democrats decision not to make Curtis Yarvin one of the most famous men in America during the 2024 election was a grievous mistake.

So much!!

When the topic is women the conflict is that women are failing society. When the topic is men it's that society is failing them.

Democratic members of Congress should probably be made to understand that unless they throw everything they have at this, they are next.

Billionaires are a national security threat.

Democrats will tell you banning insider trading and following due process aren’t winning issues while they go on Charlie Kirk’s podcast.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

I worked in the Assembly for three short months before getting poached and every month the top complaint we heard about was parking. This was a district with a superfund site and two hospital closures happening. But nope, parking was the top issue every single day.

"no no no, this is a trap, democrats shouldn't talk about it" --every centrist Dem consultant/pundit paid six figures for their good politics brain

Coachella is 2 recessions away from becoming a ren faire

What? No, I’m fine I’ve just been crying so hard over a show about a horny cancer patient that I nearly threw up.

Excited to learn about the new Substack from @indivisible.org, @moveon.org, & @workingfamilies.org! Let's gooooo Sign up, join in, fight back!

Sanders: In our form a government, unless you are a coward, you don’t sue the media because they report on things you don’t like.

seems like a good time for the Working Families Party to be dramatically ramping up their national efforts…

Brooklyn Dad Defiant has fallen.

Dems will be afraid of a spicy tweet about pop culture but roll like pigs in shit through voting for a budget that takes away veterans healthcare

keeping a tab open watching tesla stock and it might be the best mood enhancer i've ever experienced

Once again: Democrats see the challenge here not as finding levers to use against Trump, but reducing the pressure on themselves to resist Trump. The obvious solution for many of them is to set up fake fights they will promptly lose, so they can say they tried and go home.

We have an opportunity to remake the Democratic Party in the image of working people and that’s exciting. But the people in the rooms are remaking it in the image of moderate Republicans. A move that will inevitably land us right back where we started.
