"Quit demonstrating" is not something that a pro-democracy politician says. It's something that an authoritarian tool says.

I agree and would add that where I think the popularists go wrong is in assuming a static issue space, i.e., there are many paths to strategic moderation and they do not actually all involve moving to the right on the issues that these strategists just happen to be preoccupied with.

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

A pro-affordability, anti-Trump-corruption message unites the party. Every candidate can run on that, and every candidate can have their own take to fit that to their constituents. There's really no need to find fights to pick when the party agrees on more than it disagrees

Was pretty disappointed with The Fort Bragg Cartel by Seth Harp. Seems to be solid investigative reporting but also a whole lot of bizzaro conspiracy shit. Itās hard to say if itās leftist or conservative conspiracism, too, it fits either side (although it feels pretty dirtbag left to me).

Throughout the RotS novelization (which I canāt stop thinking about), Anakin obsesses over a thought: āAll things die. Even stars burn out.ā Anakinās fear drives him to seek power and he thinks he finds the answer in Palpatine. That through his rage and will he can hold on to the things he loves.
