Watch how quickly Fox's Trace Gallagher ends this interview with a DSA candidate once he starts bringing up Trump/Epstein (after Gallagher spent minutes browbeating him over immigration and ICE). And Fox can't use the ad break excuse either, because Gallagher immediately turned to another guest.

The internet is real life now while I, the guy with a position only popular online, represents real life

in a normal world i would not care about what some dipshit LA frat boy says about politics but unfortunately the internet is real life now and this kind of shit contributes to the broader "Dems suck" consensus that permeates every digital space across the entire political manifold

I get talks about why Goldman, but I cannot understand this hallucination that Brad Lander would somehow be slighted if he ended up a congressman rather than deputy mayor of sanitation or some equally lateral move in city government.

"... wanted to talk about a different idea that Mr. Lander had floated. He told the comptroller that he would like to continue their partnership — by supporting him in a primary challenge against Representative Daniel Goldman." www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/n...

Hannah Arendt said 'The death of human empathy is one of the earliest & most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism' We saw the recent cruelty of MAGA denying empathy to Melissa Hortman Empathy for Kirk—not because he ever acted like a decent human—but because we are decent humans

while smiling! Gavin Newsom literally dressed up in his best Bad Boy™️ attire, invited the press, and smiled as he destroyed everything these constituents had in the world. Gavin Newsom is not a bad candidate; Gavin Newsom is truly, at his core, a bad and despicable human being.

He threw out homeless people's tents with his bare hands. I'm not exaggerating, he did it on camera, on purpose

Exceptionally hopeful hearing Mamdani / DSA policies debated on @the1a.org on NPR. For the first time in years I feel like my politics and beliefs are actually part of the conversation. Overton window shifted ✅

Not understanding the popularity of “death of america” as a popular slogan in iran means your not at all reflective. Death to America” doesnt mean “death to all Americans”, but I guess the folks saying “fuck hamas” celebrate when soldiers rape prisoners so i guess they take things very literal

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

Earlier today, Gov. Hochul was asked whether she's considering using her power to remove Eric Adams as mayor. " That does not feel like something that's very democratic," she said. "That's why I'm not going to go there."

Carter has passed. An accomplished man. A brilliant legacy. Although for many of us he died years ago when he refused to condemn, gamer gate

all i'm saying is it would've been nice to have this healthcare policy discussion *before* we gave a trifecta to the party that tried to strip coverage from tens of millions of people last time they were in power

I wrote about Impact Plastics. Eleven workers were trapped at the company’s factory on Friday when Hurricane Helene hit, two are now dead, and four remain missing. Several of those who survived say the company didn’t let them leave until it was too late.

the worst thing about bluesky is that when you sign up they don’t tell you how important your starting location is. now i can’t get any grain no matter what i do. i’ve resorted to barging in on strangers’ conversations offering to trade two wool and a lumber for a grain but i usually just get muted

ernest hemingway's writing process was fascinating. whenever he got stuck, he would pick up his switch and play a game of rocket league, but it usually wasn't a ranked match. instead he'd play in casual mode, or even offline against bots, so he could quickly put it down should an idea come to him
