Similar to "this is un-American". It's very important to reclaim the identity of America for liberalism. Learn the past and change the future. We're already seeing that the alternatives are.
14/ At the end of the day, I think "this is not who we are" can be legitimate or not depending on whether it is a call to action or an attempt to reject reality and deny both the past and the present.

These are such low information voters that it's hard to imagine how reality could intrude into their perceptions. Plenty of Democrats are "fighters" and the party has opposed Trump despite lacking majorities. But in this media environment, these people never heard any of that and never will.
Common theme from basically every swing voter is that Democrats don’t stand for anything and don’t have a backbone.
These people are idiots but I’m not sure how many voters need to say they want a Democratic Party that fights and has values for Dems to wake the fuck up.

🧵 on an interesting parallel btw (some) Labourite thinking about the Nazis in the 30s and (some) left-wing/realist apologetics
There was a deep urge among many left-wing thinkers in GB to undo the Versailles Treaty, and this led them to explain the Nazis are merely trying to right the wrongs/

He seems to think that a polio outbreak would be just fine.

I think one can be fully aware of the atrocities of the past, while (a) labeling MAGA fascists wholeheartedly as un-American and (b) also considering past fascists to just as un-American. So why say it at all? Because we want a better country. So please, stop trying to sabotage that aspiration.

This is a good way to think about where we are now: Republicans are selling off the country's assets for cash. Everything we've built in the last 250 years.
Not just that, but these alliances (and the fruits of them) are the inheritance of all Americans, earned by the blood, sweat, and sacrifices of all who have come before us. We built the international legal order to serve our purposes, and Trump is trading it for cash to himself and his cronies.

Everyone needs to hear this.
They expect - they NEED - the people they threaten to fall in line, like the law firms and universities and media companies and billionaires and Congress did. If you say “No, make me,” they simply do not have a Plan B. TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO MAKE YOU.

Here's a new leftist excuse for participating in the collective ratfucking of two elections: even though they told us what Trump would do as president, they secretly didn't believe it so I get a free pass for not believing it either.
Honestly, I don't think they believed it when they said it. Or they would have fought a little differently.

This post would have read as completely insane several years ago. But after watching Musk's trajectory and getting an inkling of what's Trump's been up to in the Epstein files, it's kind of on point. A lot of what's driving the sheer insanity of our country is bored rich people seeking new stimuli.
To state the obvious:
American billionaires are so hedonistic they're bored with money and power and accumulating more money and power that they can only feel anything by pushing the extreme of societal norms
Every billionaire is a pedophile. And they're all pedophiles because normal people aren't

It is quite remarkable how much of this country's energy is being spent simply fighting itself. Like a cold civil war. It's surprising that anything still works reliably, and things will get worse in the next few years.
We won a court order protecting over $10 billion in funding for critical social services as we continue our lawsuit.
From childcare to shelter services for survivors of domestic violence, I’ll keep fighting to protect New York from losing funding and essential services.

It's interesting to think that much of the fascism/atrocities of the past were also just sociopathic twelve-year-old boys acting out Lord of the Flies. Somehow history is written to make us think these were serious people, but ... man, what if they weren't?

It's actually somewhat laughable to be worried about AI alignment as a technical problem, when the AI owners are so incredibly unaligned with the interests of humanity and the planet. If they were AIs we'd shut them down.
This is also why I've been mostly uninterested in alignment work. I'm not sure why the technical problem is interesting when the "alignment to whom" question just overrides everything

This is an excellent point and it explains much of the disconnect we see on the milktoasty Democratic messaging that sends Bluesky posters into a fury on a daily basis.
I think a big problem is that Trump is such a bullshitter that the average American will think Dems are over reacting until Trump actually does the crazy thing he does.

This myth of McConnell governing with senate minorities is widespread on Bluesky, despite it being utterly false. I must see it ten times a day.
Where did this myth come from, and who injected it into the American leftist brain?

Was McConnell really so much better at that than Dem leadership? Even in the minority he managed to bring the executive branch to it's knees.

Obviously this is both petty and ludicrous. But what it does is give license to any Trumpers running a national park gate to charge anti-Trumpers an entrance fee whenever they feel like it.
Department of Interior says if you put a sticker over Trump's face on your national park entrance pass, the pass will be invalidated.
Meanwhile Trump's decision to put his face on the passes is being challenged in court
