Anyone who thinks moderate/normie/suburban voters would be turned off or scared by AOC does not actually talk to moderate/normie/suburban voters.
BC those actual voters are waaaaaaay more receptive to her than the Beltway punditocracy would like.
See-thru eyebrows, $20 temu veneers, flat affect... oh yeah, it's influencing time
That is a distinct possibility

June and I had an idea for a bumper sticker and now it exists in real life
If you find yourself following someone who is called woke ginger or pissed off nurse or whatever, they’re not your ally. Your ally is someone with an obscure Pokémon avatar called like ant piss aficionado

This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
So as long as Israelis refuse to extradite their leaders for trial, the antisemitic hate crimes against the Jewish diaspora will continue?
The last line puts this in my personal Top Ten Worst Tweet of All Time
It's actually a deeply rooted form of bigotry stretching back over a thousand years. Israel's actions just provide a convenient excuse.
one more note here: we are currently running absolutely astronomical deficits at the federal level, and nobody cares because a Republican is president
but the second a Dem gets back in the Very Serious Debt People will be back in force demanding safety net cuts
not a lot of room for tax cuts there
2027:
JD Vance: mr president sir can I please have your endorsement sir I'm begging you
Trump, attached to 34 different machines, visibly decomposing: (unintelligible Papers, Please noises)
A Draft Jon Stewart campaign would 1) make him really mad and 2) be really really funny
@Eve_Barlow: My Jewish friend saw a sign that said FREE PARKING and panicked that it said FREE PALESTINE. The Jews are tiiiiiiired.
Eve Fartlow, one of the craziest people on the Internet, infamously complained that she thought a free parking sign said free Palestine and got scared

Polymarket, Kalshi and all the rest of these prediction markets need to be wiped off the face of the earth. They provide absolutely nothing of value and are corrupting everything they touch.
The world is only going to become more unstable and tumultuous in the immediate future. We're witnessing the long and drawn out death of the post-World War II international order.
We can seize up with fear and die, or we can figure out how to get through all this.
tl;dr: shit's scary but we roll.

what did you all think degrowth looked like? vibes? papers? Essays?
I'm sure a few more attacks on Zohran Mamdani for once saying, "Globalize the Intifada" will rehabilitate Israel's reputation among young Americans.
I’m sorry, the suffering is infinite and things are genuinely fucking dire, but it is truly hilarious that the nazis ran into the middle east while screaming “logistics and diplomacy are fake and gay” and now they’re trying to ask everyone else to fix the strait of hormuz because tfw no more THAADs
TIL the recipient of the most disrespectful dunk in history is running for governor in Oregon as a Republican.
Nobody has read Marx since 1950. His work is unreadable. He spends 150 pages talking about linen prices using page-length run-on sentences. No one whose mind has known a television can read Marx without falling asleep.
Started listening to Toledo Window Box, my favorite George Carlin album, for the first time in several years. He uses so much 70s slang that anyone unfamiliar with that era wouldn't get like half the jokes

Billion
By Catie Edmondson
(New York Times) -- In a Capitol Hill briefing, officials gave their most
comprehensive assessment of the cost of the first six days of the war, but the
number omitted several aspects of the operation.
Pentagon officials told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing on Capitol Hill on
Tuesday that they estimated the cost of the war against Iran had exceeded
$11.3 billion in the first six days alone, according to three people familiar with
the briefing.
The estimate did not include many of the costs associated with the operation,
such as the buildup of military hardware and personnel ahead of the first
strikes. For that reason, lawmakers expect the number to grow considerably as
the Pentagon continues to calculate the costs that accumulated just in the first
week.
Still, it appeared to be the most comprehensive assessment Congress had
received so far amid mounting questions about the objectives, scope and time
frame for the war. The New York Times and The Washington Post reported
earlier that defense officials had said in recent congressional briefings that the
military used up $5.6 billion of munitions in the first two days of the war.
That is a far larger amount and munitions burn rate than had been publicly
disclosed. The Center for Strategic and International Studies had estimated that
the first 100 hours of the operation cost $3.7 billion, or $891.4 million each
day.
The first wave of the bombardment used weapons including the AGM-154 glide
bomb, which can cost from $578,000 to $836,000. The Navy …](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:pnx2fjuannbdpy3337ggthpp/bafkreihcsjdum2q7hdoyqqbb5x6nhtiw3ldqmxfeuf6dutasyn2xyeecni)

$2bn/day, with $2.8bn/day in munitions alone over the first two days. I tend to think of myself as a Large Number Scale Understander but this is just mind-boggling amounts of money.
"The advice signals a recalibration by the White House — and reflects growing concern among some Republicans that Democrats are successfully framing Trump's immigration policy as overly sweeping and indiscriminate."
A little late to distance themselves from President Miller. Damage is done.
It was probably all the crazy shit you said
Every day of life under Trump is waking up to a headline like, “Wyoming is missing”
I'm not expecting any response, btw. Your MO seems to be to post brain-searingly awful, counterfactual takes and then log off. Not a great look for a supposed academic never to defend her arguments.
