The narrative that political violence is only a problem on one side is so fantastically divorced from reality that you shouldn't take seriously any person who advances it. The evidence that extremists on the left and right have engaged in violence and threats of violence is so…

These days, a lot of politics-posting invokes game theory. “Tit for tat,” “they defected first,” “new equilibriums.” Modeling right v. left as a two-player iterated game. My impression is that this is dumb, and these toy game theory models tell you basically nothing about the…

This is psychotic. The federal government cannot, in fact, prosecute you for refusing to print a message you disagree with—which was core to Republicans' ideology until all of 5 seconds ago. I am speechless.

I have to admit. You’ve persuaded me that neither the right nor the left can be trusted with protecting civil liberties. So, alas, it seems the only solution is a system of checks and balances on limited govt with a federal govt with only specifically enumerated powers.

Look it’s one thing to arrest illegal Immigrants; wouldn’t be my priority, but, whatever. But rounding up and humiliating foreign nationals of an allied nation who were here TO BUILD A FACTORY? How irredeemably stupid can you be?

Reminder that when Pelosi's husband was attacked, the biggest names on the right – Musk, Trump, etc - started spreading conspiracy theories. Meanwhile, 0% of important Democrat are behaving similarly now. You need to go to Bluesky anons to find anything. richardhanania.com/p/left-wing-id…

There's a genre of posts on places like Reddit about parents who confess that they regret having children. The data indicates those are extreme outliers. <1% of parents finding it never enjoyable. <2% find it rarely or never rewarding. Parents really enjoy parenting.

We can’t have a conversation about the contribution mental illness has to criminal acts like what happened in North Carolina without also discussing how we’ve shut down most of the country’s mental asylums.

The idea we are going to build more industrial capacity but only if it’s with American steel and aluminum, only employs native born workers, promises not to close unproductive locations… This is everything bagel protectionism

Maybe the best part of this crazy/absurd Trump post from Sunday is that the only nations that have tariffs as high as the US does today (~18.5% on average) are... low-income ("third world") ones

It's 2029. Newsom is president, or perhaps AOC. A climate emergency is declared under IEEPA, imposing prohibitive tariffs on all fossil fuels, and gas powered cars. Also an IEEPA gun violence emergency tariff hits all guns, gun parts, and ammo. Is this what you want?

@BTyelerW Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett have pretty deep philosophical commitments to several of the legal doctrines at the core of the case against Trump. Roberts is fickle and loves fake "emergency" powers. I suspect it's either a 7-2 or 6-3 ruling against Trump. 9-0 is also…

It is not an exaggeration to state that the survival of the constitution is at stake in the tariff case. If Trump's arguments prevail at SCOTUS, any future president can decree an economic "emergency" for any reason (think "climate change") and regulate the economy by decree.
