this is why I think Matt Yglesias’ stance that we shouldn’t talk about anything other than healthcare is insane the average American doesn’t yet realize that Trump has created a Gestapo. Democrats need to talk about it and raise awareness of videos like this rather than just ignore it.

also to not only offer something better but *not* spend all your time trying to persuade these people into joining you. "If you build it, maybe they won't come, but a lot more other people will; and maybe they might eventually wonder what they're missing" > "giving brick walls all your energy"

U.S. ready to strike military targets inside Venezuela | Miami Herald
The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald, as the U.S. prepares to initiate the next stage of its campaign against the Soles drug cartel.

Interesting paper! When you ask people about the most important issue "facing the country," they often say immigration. But when you ask them about issues facing them personally, it doesn't crack the top 10. This indicates that voters are reacting to media narratives, not their own experience.

I'd say that you can find good in many people who voted for Trump, but you won't find it in their reasons for voting for Trump or in their ideas about politics. I know Trump voters who can be kind and generous and loving. If you ask why they voted for Trump they'll give you misinfo and bigotry.

They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.

🚨 In Luzerne County, we know how quickly things can go wrong when politicians have too much power. 🗳️ To protect fair elections, accountability, and term limits, vote NO on Luzerne County’s Home Rule Charter. Stop political power grabs before they take hold again!

This is going to be my new stock example of the minute and obscure things that are damaged by the Trump administration, and unnoticeable due to the blitzkrieg of similar senseless acts.

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

I’ve been thinking about how hard the founding fathers cooked with the Third Amendment. Imagine being forced to house ICE. I can’t imagine they wash their hands. They’ve never done laundry in their lives. They’d break your stuff if you didn’t cut the crusts off their sandwiches.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

This is very good. Pushes for more random LLM usage seem to come from management, which is believing the hype—or relaying it down from executives.

Their project depends on making us all feel alone, isolated and powerless. Taking part in a protest destroys all of those feelings in an instant. Go.

At the Wilkes-Barre No Kings protest. Lots of cars honking and waving as they passed. Midway through, a jeep flying two Trump flags drove past and the driver waved a pistol at us. The cops stopped him, frisked him, cuffed him, and took him away. And there was much rejoicing.

A lot of time and effort has gone into survey research around what is the best protest sign slogan, message, wording etc and to be frank the research is pretty clear the most effective things you can do at a protest are express joy and express camaraderie, don't overthink it

Please remember that the disgust people have over Christopher Columbus is not based on some modern, 21st century “woke” ideology, but rather on contemporaneous accounts of atrocities that make many modern genocides appear quaint in comparison. Below, are the accounts of Bartlomé de las Casas.

Chris Murphy and I also discussed the need for more Democrats to say loudly and clearly, right now, that many Trump accomplices may be carrying out illegal orders, and if so they should prepare to face consequences later. Murphy offers a good way to do this here. 6/

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link. For example
x.com/dril/status/...
becomes
xcancel.com/dril/status/...
People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

It feels like this is becoming a more common mass shooter profile: Someone who's interested in politics but not as a vehicle to express clear values or a coherent viewpoint. He just wants to mock anyone who takes it seriously.
