Tight labor markets are bad for all businesses, large or small.

I think it’s underestimated the extent to which Democratic primary voters in 2028 might select a candidate out of spite.

Any person under the age of 30 has never been able to vote in a presidential election without Trump or with Obama on the ballot.

Anyways if we don’t get a nominee that wants to tear college educated conservatives chuds apart like the witch from Weapons, I won’t be satisfied.

Until Americans stop admiring the idle rich, we will not change as a country. And yes, billionaires are idly rich. They just lie about doing a bunch of shit.

The only way to re-establish white supremacy was to find the worst possible white person and elevate him to President, because that was the only way to prove that the worst possible white person was still better than a black person.

The goal of the Republican Party is to turn the United States into a giant Louisiana. There will be a hereditary elite, a mass of desperate, replaceable workers and recalcitrant cities that need periodic brutalization from outside into to bring them into compliance.

because to the extent that any instance of "maga art" is not just a vehicle for grift it exists primarily as an avenue of individual consumption/consumerism as performance of political loyalty

People really aren't prepared for all of the Midwestern suburbs to start voting like DuPage or Lake County.

Anyway the destruction of America as a psychosis reaction to the election of Barack Obama is more or less experimental confirmation of afropessimism lmao.

Watch the 2026 Senate map be some fuckass shit like this.

I don’t know the best way to say this but I fell like approaching politics like Stan’s approach pop music is an egregious tactical mistake.

I am so bored.

Chuck Schumer search history: -kente cloth lowest cost Amazon -ice Minneapolis lady black? -white women traditional wear -white women kente cloth?

I wish someone would run the calcs for it, but if Kamala maintained Joe Biden’s support amongst Hispanics, would she be president now?

Researcher: Grok generated ~6,700 sexually suggestive or "nudifying" images per hour on X between January 5 and January 6; 85% of Grok images are sexualized (Cecilia D'Anastasio/Bloomberg) Main Link | Techmeme Permalink

Getting 7k likes for saying “NO MORE STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS! I’m going to back… a strongly worded letter we’ve already sent twice!!!” really is the dominant Bluesky political culture in a nutshell lmao

If 2025 was the year of liberal tears, 2026 is the year of left wing rage.

We need to beat the shit out of this jackals.

If Sexy To Someone is the prelude, then Add Up My Love is the main course.

Do y’all want to hear my delusional 2026 tales?

I have a lot of thought about how we got to - waves around at the general chaos surrounding us - but my foundational thought is that Americans don’t believe pluralism and integration are worth it in the end. And if we don’t believe in those things, then what are we really doing?

When will I get a Democratic president that hates suburban white demongelicals the way I do? Never?

Major donator to James Talarico.

I don’t have a ton to say about the Richardsonism bullshit beyond this: If you don’t believe in liberalism or integration, then why are you a Democrat?

In terms of US politics, Bush v. Gore is the defining event of the century. It set the template: a ruthless right that instinctively seeks power & doesn't give a shit about rule of law...and a bunch of hapless, feckless octogenarian Dems worried about the good opinion of centrist opinion columnists.

Kansas senate will be a competitive race. Roger Marshall will lose. I speak into existence because I serve a good god that punishes the wicked. Amen.

When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...

We’re in this mess because the leaders of the Democratic Party and our elites don’t actually believe in integration. They are integration-agnostic, if not outright pro-resegregation.

To me the settling point is this: opponents of integration have to be removed from the professional managerial class. Like wholly. That’s what “Woke 2” is to me. Rather than gently moving towards norms of integration, anyone who expresses hostility towards the project is simply removed.

Some people just have trouble with a very simple fact about American politics that has been such a dominant factor, it caused a whole civil war: racists are, in fact, racist.

I hope Woke 2 means we get to dispense with the fear of exercising power and the glorification of being an underdog in itself. Because no, I don't want to be the underdog forever. I don't want to constantly fight the establishment. I want cultural hegemony. I want the reactionaries trembling.

Democratic strategists aren’t partisan in the way Republican strategists are. This hurts the party.

People concerned about the birth rates are weird. They’ll be another baby boom within the next 10 years. If they figure out a way for gays to have biological kids, the birth rate will surpass its previous high.

Also ICYMI, the first person ever to be convicted for inciting genocide during the Nuremberg trials was a Nazi newspaper owner who published virulently antisemitism propaganda in that town. Don't think just because you're a successful "journalist" you can avoid the consequences of your own actions

That’s why he was elected dude. He’s the Last Great White Hope.

Facts don't care about people's feelings - which is why people will readily believe misinformation that fits with their feelings and confirms their priors.

Is it odd to say that I don’t care that much about Trump anymore? Obviously he’s evil, but I have far more resentment towards the people that allowed him to attain power than the man himself.

We don’t talk enough about how easy it was to radicalize suburban conservatives. Millions of young and middle aged men with office jobs listening to Raw Egg Nationalist bullshit and nodding along while they can’t run a 10 minute mile. Ridiculous.

The movement to destroy liberal democracy is international, and so must be its defense

!!

Many Southerners view all of the racism and gay-bashing and women-hating as the point of voting for the GOP. You have to understand that many people willingly decide to do evil things because they think they are right. Stop attempting to exonerate them

“Identity politics is killing the Democratic Party” is the type of stupid message that sounds true until you think about the greater implications of it.

It’s sad that I end up feeling more disappointed than surprised.

The republican party is the party of rapists. They worship at the altar of rape. They all want to rape and facilitate rape, whether it is of women directly or of the social benefits system, what matters is someone is violently dispossessed of their agency because that is their rightful allotment.

JD Vance and the Tech Right will be the Dick Cheney of this administration. Marge’s pivot is her realizing this before anybody else.

In America, we value football coaches above all.

The filibuster protects corporate interests - that's why it hasn't been removed.
