Finally found a home here. Once did a thing that got a bunch of attention over at the other place. Anti-fascist. Empathy is a strength, not a weakness. I used to self-edit, but with fascism on the rise, that’s gone… There Will Be Fucks.

Not to be too hyperbolic but I feel like price discrimination at this granular a level, if done at scale, kinda takes a sledgehammer to some of the fundamentals of microeconomics.

Liebe Medien, ich kann die Schlagzeile "Keine Einigung zwischen USA und Dänemark" nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ein Bewaffneter eine Bank stürmt, titelt ihr doch auch nicht: "Räuber und Kassiererin finden keinen Konsens über Geldübergabe." Hört auf, imperiale Aggression als normale Diplomatie zu framen.

It's extraordinarily rare for a political event to break through to such a widespread degree as this. Dems should seize on it! This is resonating big time in exactly the info spaces that Dems struggle to reach, as I try to argue in this piece:
This is incredible: 81% of working class and 83% of young voters have seen video of Renee Good's killing, per new data I've obtained. Majority of working class disapproves of ICE enforcement. ICE brutality is breaking through big time.
