The latest from @ymriofficial.bsky.social I heard you guys like messaging experiments so we did some messaging experiments! open.substack.com/pub/youngmen...

Republicans are going to spend 2026 in the lab. They're reading the same numbers we are and they know a rebrand is in order.

New from @jlray.bsky.social at YMRI: Who's most politically engaged, and how do we overcome political apathy with young men? substack.com/@youngmenres...

"and furthermore, cheating on your wife with the recent widow of a guy you are openly impersonating is, as everyone is saying and not finding nauseating and repulsive at all, very cool and normal"

Another unethical and immoral phishing email from @thedlcc.bsky.social , completely indistinguishable from the tactics a scammer would use to steal someone's identity, falsely insinuating I need to pay them for the privilege of being a registered Democrat. Really shady shit that hurts the party!

In my more cynical moments I think about ways Dems could use a little theatricality and innuendo to increase voters' attention to the Epstein files then Pam Bondi sends the entire world an email saying "oops! sent the wrong draft. please disregard the vulgar comments i left on page three"

new Knives Out slapped but man am I not looking forward to what we seem to be treating as this increasingly inevitable era of movies without movie theaters

Alert: He's holding his own paw while sleeping

People need to be more skeptical of conclusions drawn from focus groups recruited by a media organization with strangely unexplained recruitment or screening criteria besides "right leaning" and apparently "seemed cool to The Manhattan Institute"

Ah, was wondering about this. Trump took an existing subsidy for troops and rebranded it as a "Warrior Divided." ...And if he actually ends up routing it through pay rather than housing, he made more of it taxable. www.defenseone.com/policy/2025/...

The latest from @ymriofficial.bsky.social : There is a significant split between younger Gen Z and older Gen Z. Young men under 25 are significantly to the left of those 25 and over. Some possible explanations: open.substack.com/pub/youngmen...

I must say I was very surprised how unpopular Trump's antivax policies were among young people (left is men 18-29, right is women 18-29). "Cult" does feel like the right word for it. www.ymrp.org/polling

What Trump did live on camera just now was so vulgarly self-indulgent Mike Johnson can actually credibly claim he couldn't watch it because of his porn monitoring app

tldr Trump is gonna lie a lot and you're going to feel the urge to rebut those lies with charts and graphs. I love charts and graphs. Don't bother. No one is buying what he's selling. If this is really what tonight's speech is about, this is a "point and laugh" situation. Mock. Deride. Insult.

We all owe George Lucas an apology for finding it a bit hackey that turning to the dark side fucks up your skin

From the quality of the gaudy gold-sprayed lettering stabled onto the wall outside, I'd guess he's looking for the make-your-own-omelette station

Happy Holidays from r/wallstreetbets

We are... Absolutely going to find out he stuck around until the Polymarket market for him leaving in 2025 cleared, right

You must really know where all the bodies are buried if you give an interview shitting on Trump, Vance, and Musk, and have everyone in MAGAville come to your defense.

One of the downstream benefits of supporting leftwing media and Professionally Good On TV Types is it gives our bean counters more time behind closed doors in smoke filled rooms. Jeffries clearly won a deal here.

14 percent of people want this. Doesn't even break 1/3rd of Republicans d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/ec...

conditional on latent levels of traditional masculinity remaining the same (not a foregone conclusion by any means), this article makes a decent case that trump probably peaked with young men in 2024

fortunately if you get your information by actually listening to American young men instead of Twitter bot farms, you know probably the more interesting question right now is why so many young men are actually moving *away* from the right youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com/p/who-are-th...

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 2.2k) - Look, the public ain't always right. While they correctly identify Nightmare Before Christmas as a Christmas film, they are split on whether Die Hard counts, and appallingly do not consider Gremlins a Christmas movie d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/Ho...

I'm sure its obvious to many, but this result really sticks with me. The people you hang out with in real life are normal, the people the algorithm feeds you make you feel unsuccessful and unaccomplished!

Another Christmas thinkin about nothin but murder

The fact that Trump's numbers on this took a fairly significant hit during the LA riots in response to the occupation should've updated a lot of peoples priors

The latest from @ymriofficial.bsky.social : Trump's attacks on "DEI" are making college worse and less accessible for young men. Young men are now worse off thanks to these attacks open.substack.com/pub/youngmen...

Republicans know the MAGA brand is out of juice. Act accordingly.

Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: We have not deported military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on zoom by a gentleman who is an army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country. You deported him to Korea.

I'm sure its obvious to many, but this result really sticks with me. The people you hang out with in real life are normal, the people the algorithm feeds you make you feel unsuccessful and unaccomplished!

Whichever of our great canddiates wins the Texas Senate primary, they're going to need help to compete in 2026. Support the Texas Young Dems and our eventual Senate nominee - 100% of $$ go directly to the Texas Young Dems and the general election fund. secure.actblue.com/donate/jrsli...

The Christmas choo choo is in danger

From the perspective of asking people their voting intention on a survey, naming a political party Your Party is among the better acts of trolling I have ever encountered

The latest from @ymriofficial.bsky.social : young men don't socialize as much as they used to - but not for lack of trying One reason people are lonelier: we've gutted third spaces. There is clear demand for more parks, live music, gyms, bars youngmenresearchinitiative.substack.com/p/young-men-...

jesus christ

There is some possibility of future federal legislation to address gerrymandering - but the reality is we won't undo GOP maps until we control more state governments. Help the Texas Young Dems here organize and win at the local level for the long term. secure.actblue.com/donate/jrsli...

Good news! www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

"Our analysis reveals... all of a player's teammates engaging in toxic speech increases their probability of engaging in similar behavior by 26.1 to 30.3 times the average player's likelihood of engaging in toxic speech." Assholes are bad for the internet! ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/112...

Pretty disappointed to see @thedlcc.bsky.social still sending misleading spam like this. People who voluntarily give you money do not deserve to be scolded for not "renewing" a "membership" that literally does not exist. This dishonest email falsely insinuates I need to pay them to be a Democrat.

One of the ways social media immiserates is that people on social media appear to be more successful than you, but not deservedly so -- they are perceived to be wealthier, more successful, and more attractive, but *not* morally better nor better educated. www.ymrp.org/polling

In case there are any out of power political parties in search of a 100% popular, morally correct, and eminently impactful policy position that speaks to both practical affordability concerns and deeper moral concerns about corporate greed, have you considered banning AI price discrimination
