Yeah. It’s super weird now. I wonder if you’d get decent results by asking someone to explain a PR and find some issues with it, since that’s a useful approximation of coding jobs now

A crew of the stupidest and worst people of all time whose basic anecdote here makes the opposite of the point she’s trying to make: one of these people was arrested and the other fled the country, decades ago!!!

He was notorious at the time for building an infra nobody else really benefited from. This is a bit of a caricature I think, I don’t remember details, but broadly true. Also feels true of Trump.

Obama was good at organizing for Obama, but didn’t leave the rest of us with much. Trump 2016 happened while he was President. He was still kinda influential back then!
If you care about change, this is probably the most important thing you'll ever read on the subject.
Short version: Obama was good at organizing, MAGA learned from that, the left forgot all those lessons.

What MAGA Can Teach Democrats About Organizing—and Infighting
Republicans have become adept at creating broad coalitions in which supporting Trump is the only requirement. Democrats get tied up with litmus tests.

legislators should be staging sit-ins, they should not leave the fucking chambers until there are votes on impeachment. make your colleagues defend this piece of shit on the record. show history what you fucking did in this moment you god damned cowards

Lots of normies are totally new to opsec questions and I think thats fine. More informative articles from folks who know better and have good sources will help here I think! Lots of this stuff is counter intuitive if you’ve not engaged with it before and most of these people have not, understandably

The fuck are you doing here man, go back to building a palace to your irrelevant legacy if this is the level of your involvement
Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

An obviously and urgently impeachable act all on its own
Naming someone is not doxxing. They aren’t undercover. They aren’t intelligence agents overseas. This is outrageous - we are supposed to be a free Republic and these people want an authoritarian police state. Lawsuits should be filed & ranking Dems in Congress should act.

Rahm Emanuel's “combination of policy talk, moral reflection and candid critiques of recent Democratic fixations is distinctive, and there’s impressive political savvy in what he foregrounds and how he frames it,” argues Frank Bruni.

I’m sorry, I don’t mean to be a schmuck. Ultimately I criticize because I love. I wish the Times had recognized long ago something that it at least seems to recognize now, kinda. Maybe the paper that exists in my imagination and heart could never be real.

You can take the man out of the NYT but you can’t take the wildly defensive inability to self-critique out of the man.

I love npr but you guys gotta do better. This is embarrassing. I don’t know why you’re interviewing rahm but that’s just a stupid decision, he’s irrelevant and has been for like a decade. “Veteran politicos” stfu
Trump is unpopular, but how do Democrats frame their arguments for a comeback?
Two veteran politicos, Rahm Emanuel and Gretchen Whitmer, have thoughts
In NPR video interviews. Worth watching on a snowy day.

This man is talking about stealing a country at gunpoint from nations the US is allied with. Of course Europeans hate us. You would feel the same way if you were in their place. American voters put this man in power, he didn’t seize it this time.

No no, he said (in his heart) it’s not racism so it doesn’t count. If you were an editor at one of our elite publications maybe you’d understand. Hey did you hear Biden was old?
Perhaps Trump going full eugenics for a second straight day will cause the media to realize they need to make it a headline.
Trump: "Somalia -- they turned out to be higher IQ than we thought. I always say, 'These are low IQ people.' How did they go into Minnesota and steal all that money?"

Never gonna get over that Biden, on his worst day, was more coherent than Trump on his best. And yet so many lectures were given about how Biden had to step down and those people are quiet as the grave today.

We have an entire class of Democratic "leadership" that has been told that it's dangerous and extreme to say this, and that does not understand that what Democrats want is for their leaders to articulate what they believe and why they believe it. That should not be as big an ask as it apparently is.
Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."
