The Media's "Pro-Worker GOP" Fever Dream Isn't Real News outlets and pundits insist there's a growing rapport between unions and the GOP. There isn't.

i spent an inordinate amount of time dissecting why the media is obsessed with union voters and Trump, and why they keep getting it absolutely wrong when it comes to labor thehousered.substack.com/p/the-medias...

NBC News March 2026 Poll 03-08-2024 Release FINAL

that is a completely reasonable position to take lol. in this case, they're using a very reputable firm and have published the full methodology, which looks rock solid to me. www.documentcloud.org/documents/27...

Centrists: Better Things Aren’t Possible - The American Prospect Third Way’s strategy session for Democratic moderates lacked any vision other than a hatred for progressives.

Thank you, @revolvingdoordc.bsky.social @henryburke.bsky.social and @prospect.org

As I have always contended, "moderate" is just a cover for embedded racism, classicism, and people eager to make money off of both. There is no idea here. There is only reflexive "no."

Why not? It's a serious polling firm with a very large sample size and pretty much everything aligns with other polls we've seen. What's suspicious to you?

A quick message for Democratic candidates. Yes, I know the AI and crypto money is scary. But you can beat it if you take strong positions that align with voters and FIGHT

a poll with a sample of 1000 is going to have a very solid confidence interval and unless they've done very poor weighting those are super reliable results

The lesson Data Center Democrats will learn from this is that by embracing AI they'll become more popular

πŸ”Š Listen Now: The hidden history of blackface in America Fresh Air on NPR One | 44:36

TIL that slogans like "Make America Great Again" or "This Is Our Country" or "Take Back Our Country" are all slogans and songs that were very common in minstrel shows. I guess it makes sense that Trump stole β€œMake America Great Again” from Ronald Reagan.

"We lost them" is less damaging to the military machine than "Iran shot down a whole bunch of our most advanced, very expensive drones." So oopsie daisy, we must have left them in the couch cushions or forgotten them with our to-go boxes on the restaurant table. Ah well, these things happen

Interesting use of the past exonerative, which is typically deployed to hide the culpability of cops and Republicans in bad things. In this case however, it's better for the powers that be to pretend the US just misplaced some expensive drones rather than admit that Iran shot them out of the sky.

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.

This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.

Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement.

Any time the words "venture capital" or "private equity" enter the chat, my hackles go up. But I looked at Toni's history and tbh dude seems pretty much fine? I will be operating on a "trust but verify" basis until given reason to go "flamethrower mode" www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

Tell Congress: You cannot fund your War funding with wildfire aid The Trump administration needs another $50 billion to fund its illegal, open-ended war with Iran - And Congress doesn't want to pay. So Republicans are shopping a dirty deal to trade wildfire aid and ...

Monstrous: link between California's long overdue wildfire aid and a bill to fund Trump's depraved war of aggression. Congressional Repubs are talking about linking wildfire aid to a bill to pay for Trump's war, in order to attract Dem votes. Tell them: HELL NO. actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

I love how basically every website on the internet is now loaded up with so much bloat that opening a new site causes my relatively new Macbook Air to completely freeze for 5-30 seconds at a time. I can run video editing software no problem, but can't load a simple fucking news article

The Zombie Regulator As the cost of living continues to spiral upward, the Trump Administration is gutting the government agency built to protect Americans from financial ruin.

A concrete look at how the Trump’s attack on the Consumer Bureau (CFPB) harms everyoneβ€”as big tech, big bank, student loan servicers and auto lenders continue unsupervised due to Russell Vought’s assault on our finances.

A wonderful @newyorker.com piece by E. Tammy Kim:

It's time for Democrats to stop focusing on issues that only elites care about, like unemployment and the price of gas, and start talking about things that matter to regular Americans, like Black mermaids and the genders of the characters on Paw Patrol.

Americans are already paying for this war in blood. Now, struggling under the weight of this administration’s policies, they will pay in treasure, too. [...]

Do not tell us there is no money for health care. Do not tell us there is no money for college. Do not tell us there is no money for child care. There is money. There has always been money. What we lack is leadership. What we need is the courage to seize it. For every day this Congress fails to act, Americans will payβ€”in blood and treasureβ€”for a war no one debated, no one authorized, and no one can justify.
