There are bonafide monsters stalking the earth eagerly and enthusiastically distributing suffering to anyone they please. And with no recourse on our end but to film them and shout and beg for anyone with power to stop them. How convenient that the monopoly on violence always also acts as a shield.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

Another fundamentally cynical aspect of this narrative is the idea that pundits like Douthats wouldn't *also* accuse Democrats of radicalism if they passed a bunch of 'kitchen-table' policies. Are we really gonna pretend the NYT op-ed page would support a $20 minimum wage?

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 15h

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism.

The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

the party now cared more about climate change and various academic fixations than cheap energy and good-paying jobs.

Cuomo is thoroughly red-pilled and will be on Fox News at least once a week over the next few years. He'll be a Fox News Democrat in the mold of Alan Dershowitz.

Qasim Rashid, Esq. @qasimrashid.com · 12h

On MSNBC Cuomo said "diversity can be a weakness." When asked by one of the two Black hosts (Eugene) to clarify, he doubled down on his statement and called Eugene "Jonathan."

So Cuomo is anti-diversity & can't tell Black people apart.🤔

Honestly the best anti-Cuomo ads are just letting Cuomo speak

The continued failure of mainstream media to recognize or acknowledge the racial demographic anxiety undergirding and enabling the political moment and eroding of democracy, government and the safety net, is an abdication that makes us complicit.

This is why so many politicians, and too many journalists, feel the need to show that white people need these programs in order to show that the “right” people — the deserving — also need these programs. Yet in covering the opposition to food stamps, etc, they rarely mention how racialized it is.

Republicans understand that the best way to kill social programs is to paint their beneficiaries as Black, as support for these programs declines — even amongst white people who need them — when they think large numbers of Black people will benefit.

Let’s be clear, most EBT users are white. The reason he’s specifically lying about “weaves” and we’ve seen so many AI fakes of Black women ranting about food stamps is they need to make BW the face EBT because they know many Americans don’t care if Black people suffer, and some actually wish for it.

The reason this “welfare queen” lie has been such an effective *tactic* is that it invites already-racist listeners to associate the existence of visible Black beauty conventions with fraud. So everywhere they look, they see “evidence” of the fascist lie.
