They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

this piece has been in the works a while but honestly i could not have asked for a better foil than ezra klein's interview with ta-nehisi coates. klein longs for peacetime--but you don't get to decide when you're in a fight. www.liberalcurrents.com/democrats-mu...

What will happen to the US economy if we ban skilled immigrants? A few domestic jobs will see higher wages, but overall native workers will not benefit. Offshoring increases. Economic dynamism & innovation will decrease. youtu.be/LUVNWphOuPc?...

SUCK IT

If there's one thing Covid should have demonstrated to everyone, it's that there are lots of people who would rather put their own communities & families at risk, would literally rather *die*, than submit to the call for solidarity. It's that repellant to them.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

This is good. More of this. If we had serious leadership since January they would have been doing this every week they were in session.

The right sets the terms of our political discourse in so many ways, one of which is the idea that there isn't enough "debate" and "free speech" on campus. We need to push back on this. The truth is (speaking for myself as a history prof), I don't really emphasize debate much in my classes/

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

I’ve yet to see a single rapist/abusive football player held to account, ever… gross to see him get this move along with Greenwood and others

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.

does anyone know of a coordinated response? this would take any single person months of work to go through and point out all of the errors, but I think we could have a pretty comprehensive response much sooner if we split up the work.

One of the hottest days of the year so far in Texas: 53% of the power on peak is coming from solar & wind. Wholesale power is ~$20 per megawatt-hour or 2 cents per kilowatt-hour. No conservation calls, no energy emergencies. ~20 gigawatts of extra power just sitting around.

I know they hate power and will shy away from the thought, but man would it be cool if the DNC swoops in with the donor base to turn all NPR/PBS broadcasting unapologetically leftist. Whats more likely is NPR groveling to the center and inviting Rufo, Weiss, etc. on instead for ~balance~

Jesus. I'm sure asking the Trump to cut it out is really going to stop him. Fucking grow a pair man. Call out his corruption, say we all know Stephen Miller is in charge, get personal for christ sake

Serious when I say the clean energy industry should look to site all new manufacturing only in Blue states moving forward. We should be actively trying to pull money away from Red states and districts. Policy that helps the GOP and their constituents doesn't matter anymore so they shouldn't benefit

Yeah a lie that led to a multi-trillion dollar war killing tens of thousands of Iraqi civilians and thousands of US soldiers while destabilizing the region, is comparable to an old guy correctly stepping down after leading us through COVID + IRA/CHIPS/Infra bills. Seppuku @jaketapper.bsky.social

She’s easily on the Mount Rushmore of posting

I'm sure there will be hundreds of posts about this and how adding too much Nuclear to the grid makes it unreliable...

A story about why Democrats are losers, in four parts.

got so annoyed at seeing idiots on tiktok and youtube argue about 20th century american party politics that i made a nearly 30 minute video trying to sketch out the history in a nuanced way. the conceit of this video, however, is that it's all from the dome! no notes, just vibes.

if the left had a media apparatus comparable to the right, you wouldn’t need to go hunting for a left Joe Rogan; it would create him

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Grandfather is a birthright citizen who fought in Korea. Other side of the family were Irish immigrants who fought for the Union in the Civil War. Stephen Miller is a gross, slimey twat who's never had his shit rocked before

My Charlotte FC supporters group has kicked off our annual Prideraiser benefitting Time Out Youth, a Charlotte space for LGBTQ+ young people that does amazing work. Please join me in pledging! Pledges are per goal, so the more CLT FC scores the more for TOY!

THREAD: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, our team made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So our reporters got on a plane to Banjul. 1/

Fine, I'll defend this. I think the the broader left/liberal coalition needs to do more stunts and spectacles. Not all of them will work but it's good to be a volume shooter.

With Frimpong all but signed, here's my ideal rest of summer transfer window: Outs- Nunez, Jota, Morton, Elliot, Tsimikas, Endo, Chiesa (only because we refuse to play him) Ins- Cherki, Murillo/Huijsen, Hato/Kerkez/M. Gutiérrez, Woltemade, Jauregizar Bajectic, Nyoni, Doak, and others into 1st team

This is the whole disgusting game on display. We are somehow not responsible for wrongly extraditing a Venezuelan asylum seeker to a foreign gulag, and all questions about the case we don't want to answer needs to be routed to a fucking loser bitcoin dictator who the admin is paying

BREAKING: Rumeysa OZTURK must be released from detention, a federal judge ruled Friday, describing her incarceration as an egregious First Amendment violation that could chill the speech of millions.

Great news from a purely ideological stand point as Ed was a sycophant Nazi-sympathizer, horrible from a competence perspective as Ed was really really bad at his job

Best game of the year so far...

Help! ❤️ YouTube flagged our @cleaninguppod.bsky.social documentary on #ProjectBo as political advertising. 😬 Using #solar power to help save babies' lives is NOT political! 🌞 We've re-edited, now we REALLY need your likes, comments, RTs and shares to get the word out! 🙏 youtu.be/z-5QjSfy2SM?...

Every Republican scandal or crisis is an ideological debate, while Democrats small problems get turned into hypothetical system failures and doomsday scenarios with front page coverage

reagan/bush judges: "this administration's shocking arguments would reduce the rule of law to lawlenssness" neocons: abolish ICE david brooks: communist manifesto Dem leadership, top liberal consultants/pundits: the latest NYT/Ipsos has Trump up +4 on immigration, +9 with noncollege men

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

He is a union apprentice and raising three special needs kids, two of them from his wife's previous relationships so yes he is certainly in the running.

Days before ICE detained Tufts University student Rumeysa Ozturk, the State Dept. determined that the Trump administration had not produced evidence showing she engaged in antisemitic activities or made public statements supporting a terrorist organization. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Legitimately praying he overdoses one of these days. You're going to make seniors download your shitty Nazi app to get updates on their fucking earned retirement paycheck, while subjecting them to ads and harassment. Brandenburg vs Ohio for the rest of what I want to say

Trump effectively hacked the media (broadly defined, including legacy newspapers and tech platforms) by lying incessantly, blatantly, egregiously. Once factual reality itself became partisan, many of those orgs concluded that valuing truth is unfairly biased, and info must be distorted to be fair.

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.
