So, I guess, we're just all very lucky to have people working their asses of to address climate change even though, apparently, it will go unnoticed and not sway anyone to vote for them because we're too busy being snarky on a website.
5 congressmen have visited an encampment: Greg Casar, Summer Lee, Omar, Bowman and AOC. All of them except Omar have worse voting records on I/P than AOC. All 5 have endorsed Biden. If the only one you're angrily tweeting about is AOC, you're the one treating her like a celebrity

The assassination of political rivals as an official act. Understand what the Trump team is arguing for here. Take it seriously and at face value. This is not a game.

I hope they never get rid of the “one person can motion to vacate” rule tbh The House is much more dynamic with parliament-like no confidence motions
I find it funny the degree to which the people I follow are all over the map on the TikTok bill lol
looking increasingly probable I may not get my account back so uh, if people want to share this so people can find the person formerly known as m e r o v i n g i a n s (Ross) that would be cool

Really into political violence (studying, not doing)It might be but I think more than anything, it's driven by the fact that even people who bemoan the loss of third spaces seem to rarely be found in those left.
One of these days, I'll get around to writing out my theory that the rise of social atomisation and the death of 3rd spaces in America is driven by our extreme wealth inequality.
"Attempting to prosecute crimes might encourage the perpetrator to commit further crimes" is certainly a novel legal defense bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
She should’ve been like this during the Senate primary. Outcome probably doesn’t change but she probably would’ve done a better job consolidating the left.
"The law is clear here. What is not clear is what has happened at the State Dept. and who, if anyone, besides Sec. Blinken may be implicated." @RepKatiePorter, who received a briefing from the State Dept., says it is sitting on memos of human rights violations by the IDF.
Decent ad and the Spanish speaking is a huge plus but messaging tying Republican politicians to Latin American dictators is not going to work because no one buys it. Democrats tried this in 2020 with Trump in Florida, and it was a total bust

One of my synagogues back home in the DMV was vandalized. Another had a bomb threat. This is how people reacted to the former:
@Ibishblog to watch what has been going on in Gaza and know it would be impossible without the support of your own government is hard even for us old folks. add the passion of youth, the nice spring weather and Columbia's mistake of calling in the cops and the results were inevitable.
Nah! The appetite for a major international social justice cause is inherent and the place has been vacant since the downfall of apartheid. It’s been obvious since the 90s that Palestine would be the next global flashpoint on US campuses. We all knew it was a matter of time.
Why has the Gaza war spun colleges into chaos? Because campuses have weakened as actual communities, where people mingle, interact and get to know and trust each other. My latest column: cnn.com/2024/04/26/opi…

Trump Presidency helps usher in the kind of world order they want
It’s hilarious how the bad actors internationally want Biden to lose Netanyahu does, and the Saudis are actively considering delaying normalization until after the US election so not to benefit Biden
the simple fact is that the average person doesn’t really know much about their politics (or their catechism for that matter) and that will honestly worsen as the information environment continues to get worse and worse
Riyadh co-chair Statement on efforts to implement the two-state solution, including the recognition of the Palestinian State.
Conservatives think upzoning will bring bad people into the neighborhood (criminals, poor people, transients, foreigners), while leftists think upzoning will bring bad people into the neighborhood (young professionals, students, transients, foreigners). They're very different
People on here like to say politicians are out of touch with the general public. But talk less about how the general public are out of touch with cause and effect. Mostly the UK's failure over recent decades has been down to Tories implementing popular, bad policies.
What do we find? The people want price controls! And demand subsidies! And restrictions on Wall. St. investors! /11
@PritzkerForPrez You are likely to catch heat for this but you're right--and in this regard, there's a strong resemblance to the 1960s student movement. From Pivotal Decade, by Judith Stein:
Gaza protest demands from U Chicago. Mark Fisher wrote in Capitalist Realism about how the student protests of the 1970's marked a turn wherein activism became a monocause, every protest obliged to demand everything at once, giving the distinct impression that the protestors…

My actual take here apart from "figure out automation" is that immigration is good enough to kick the can far enough down the road. 50 years ago we were whining about overpopulation who knows what we'll be whining about in 50 more x.com/notkavi/status…
@AnonGlobe79158 Yeah my take is immigration is good enough for 50 years and then we can reassess. There's really basically never a reason to plan social reforms longer than that since tech will be completely different
*taps on mic* The people we need to reach in this election have no fucking idea who James Carville is and the people whose job it is to reach those people are not taking their cues from James Carville. Please relax.
Most people have a mixed set of political beliefs they've arrived at from personal experiences, cultural values, self-interest, partisanship, etc etc These often don't map neatly into D/R/lib/con/socialist worldviews and often have contradictions—but they aren't empty positions
The discourse has significantly overlearned "most people don't have a comprehensive overarching ideology that drives all their political beliefs" (correct) to mean "most people just believe things for purely superficial reasons or no reason at all" (incorrect)
This is probably right. Most people don't form political opinions through deep examination of the issues or reasoning from first principles. It's more like picking some particular fashion label or way of dressing. Especially for younger people, who face more peer pressure.
*drinking the Water of Life and seeing a billion possible futures for the 2020 primaries* Bloomberg loses while carrying Florida. Booker comes within 5% in Ohio. Beto wins over 400 EVs and Mississippi. Klobuchar wins by only 10 EVs but wins the tipping point state by 5%.
