There's been a lot of pearl-clutching about public grocery stores!
Which is wild, because we have a LOT of experience with public grocery stores in the US. And the folks it serves (US military & military families) stand by it.

They let this man — who ran for president on the idea that being mayor was enough because also he was gay — adopt Black children, who are going to need so much therapy as adults if they’re being raised listening to this kind of bullshit
Speaking at a Texas Tribune Festival on Friday, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg criticized the Democratic Party for failing to reach everyday Americans, arguing that it “got sucked in” to a conversation about identity. #TribFest25
Pete Buttigieg critiques Democrats for focus on identity

One thing that's abundantly clear: passing the SAFE Research Act would permanently end the United States' ability to be competitive in any area of advanced technology. Just straight up suicidal policy-making.
This has gotten surprisingly little attention — it's not even on the front page of @science.org right now — but it's really hard to describe what the SAFE Research Act would do to US science and scientists without sounding insane

Zohran Mamdani, who won, refused to throw any constituent under the bus on the basis of their identity.

Talking of horseshoe theory, those "centrists" do love to slap the "populist" label on socialists and fascists alike because it plays to that false equivalence, but it also gives the game away that their centre is really the *centre of power & privilege*, their politics one of ruling class *elitism*
Interesting to read in the Times of Labour Ministers admitting that the Green Party are very much ready to take them (and Reform) on.

I question why redemption must include license to wield power over others.
No one is sending these people into exile. We're saying we don't trust them (because they have a history of being untrustworthy).
If they've really changed their stripes, why is it so hard for them to accept this?

In order to move men, we have to welcome folks who have done things in the past we abhor. We have to allow folks to redeem themselves.
It’s sometimes uncomfortable, but it’s the only way we can win moving forward.
The math doesn’t math without more men.
