“Officials liked what the man in the van set out to do - give all the children delicious candy - but have been frustrated by his reckless abduction approach”
One thing I learnt at the Auschwitz memorial is that the Nazis were aiming to optimize this exact metric. the sheer expense of the number of bullets they would have had to use to kill all those people was large and they wanted to save them for combat
I couldn't forward the article but I think the headline says it all.

Your pro-Israel friends and their institutions turned out to be less credible than the “Hamas-led health ministry” they kept trying to dismiss and demonize

You actually need to have supernatural politician skills to pull off what they want - bill clinton, obama - everyone else just looks like a big loser who wouldn't defend you in a fight
that's another thing. I think Dems lose a lot of respect from swing voters for not standing up for what they obviously believe, while Trump gets credit for being "honest" (actually just an asshole, but still)

This person is correct and 90 percent of Bluesky is wrong www.transformernews.ai/p/the-left-i...
The left is missing out on AI
As a movement, it has largely refused to engage seriously with AI, ceding debate about a threat and opportunity to the right

A thing that annoys me about the Axios newsletter is that the tone is consistently “I am one of the top experts on this thing I learned about five minutes ago.” Also that they have 280 sources in the White House but their only source on the left is Rep. Capitulate Middle (D).

Hillary saying “my husband and Barack Obama deported more people” really isn’t good messaging and a prime example of why she needs to just step away.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”
What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

By the way, for those of you not in MN: Homan’s strategy was to withdraw some agents, so it felt like we were in the denouement of the crisis, and then escalate hard against observers. They’re being incredibly aggressive with observers now. National media may not want to check out just yet
