Here's another reason that the slopulist promises about taxes are stupid: even if you cut their federal income tax liability to zero, the target audience for this policy probably won't believe that you've done so. They'll still get FICA withheld from their paycheck.

Trevor Project released its annual LGBTQ youth mental health report. The results are shocking. 40% of trans youth seriously considered attempting suicide in the past year. Trans youth who wanted hormones but couldn’t access them were nearly twice as likely to attempt suicide than those who could.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

With the reveal that post-Fox Tucker Carlson has 7.3k subscribers, reminder that *all* rightwing media is a miserable enormously unpopular and wildly unprofitable failure, only kept aloft via the largesse of a handful of billionaire pedophiles pumping them with endless amounts of cash.

The Senate passed the Voting Rights Act renewal in 2006 by a vote of 98-0. The Supreme Court majority gutted it on the grounds that the Justices personally dislike the impact.

An already unacceptably right-leaning press corps is gearing up to go further right because a bad thing almost happened near them; they were in that position to begin with because they decided access to fascism is more important that accurately describing it

because that's how everything works now. If something happens that is inconvenient for your political beliefs, it's fake news, an AI hoax, a false flag, etc. Liberals and leftists do this less often than conservatives, but the gap is closing fast

We need Democrats to pledge that they will be every bit as ruthless as Republicans fear we will be. This is the most corrupt, lawless administration in history. If we don't hold people accountable—with real, serious consequences—it will only be worse next time.

This is also absolutely the best way to unify the party. People might disagree a lot on various policy issues, but there's absolutely no one in the primary electorate who doesn't want to see the people responsible for this hanging upside down.

Learn whatever you want about "law," it doesn't matter because GOP Justices blew up the entire process of deciding cases based on chats with rich friends and stuff they watched on TV. That was the entire basis on which SCOTUS switched to the shadow docket.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

To add nuance, Dernoncourt et al. (2024) show that taxing the 1% will not make a meaningful difference in closing the racial wealth gap. THAT SAID, there is evidence that the tax revenue could help improve many other parts of society.

Astounding. I understand how even little practicalities can break your brain while in creative mode. Larger ones loom so dramatically it is impossible to keep immersed in the writing. For others, this is even more acute. It pains me that they couldn't waive the PR requirements.

I would like to see more messaging attacking Republicans for allowing trump to remain in office, but at the end of the day there is no comms strategy that will get him out and there is no adequate substitute for removing him from office.
