just want to be clear that if Trump wins, the only accurate answer to "why did Harris lose?" will not be found in a thousand thinkpieces on "if only she'd announced more policy".
the accurate answer will be "cos American politics and American society are irredeemable fucked".

Farrakhan doesn’t just stop at antisemitism. He’s also anti-feminist, homophobic, and overall kind of a nut.
He also endorsed Donald Trump in 2016, which doesn’t seem very Women’s March-y.

Nearly 20 years ago, I had lunch with an NYT editor (in the business section) whom I'd worked with. He talked about three things: the people at the paper whom he had decided were "affirmative action hires"; how he'd sneaked peeks at the hot chicks in high school; and how much he liked Josh Barro.

Being among the first interrogated and ultimately fired by DOGE, I certainly felt we were facing the business end of a right-wing conspiracy theory 🧵
DOGE was not a money-saving effort. It was an effort to chase down and prove right-wing conspiracy theories. They went after USAID to prove conspiracy theories about foreign aid. Then they went after SSA to, again, pursue conspiracy theories about Dems paying "illegals" to vote. 1/2
All DOGE accomplished was purging critical government staff, handing private data to outsiders, and sentencing thousands in developing countries to death by gutting USAID.

Patience is worth it if the rationale is solid. There’s many a time when short term thinking is detrimental to improvement. Tariffs and deportations of hard working immi however do not have a solid rationale.
"I've got a lot of empathy for J.D. Vance here asking for patience...I was talking to my partner last night and I asked her for patience. I'm trying to work on having a better personality...I'm not all the way there yet right now." And maybe that's how we should interpret JD's views on the economy.

I'd previously seen reports of this in San Diego specifically. I'm assuming they're testing this for a wider rollout, which is horrific. They've always deferred to USCIS to make a decision (in which the overstay is not a factor) before enforcement.

Except that when Biden admin proposed to hire more judges too many pro-mo advocates didn’t understand why that would have been an improvement over 😥
This is similar nonsense to how the Trump admin talks about addressing historic backlogs in the immigration courts.
The solution to backlogs are to hire more judges and staff, not to abolish due process. It’s not that hard!

Some enterprising resisters could get a lot of money off ICE if they have the know how
ICE has just under four years to spend $29.9 billion, they are going to outsource AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE to contractors because money is essentially not a problem anymore for the agency.
NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
