Today in the Tyee: A conversation between @gilduran.com and me about the tech bros shaping (destroying?) the world and what they actually believe. This one's got it all. Sovereign individuals! The pigs from Animal Farm! The Antichrist! Boy howdy, is the future ever stupid
PM Carney makes it sound like we can insulate ourselves from Silicon Valley tycoons who genuflect to Trump and serve his authoritarian aims.
But how realistic is that as #BigTech hungers for our country?

I feel like we're in a weird world where the average Dem partisan, engaged voter is better informed than most of their representatives
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Thread on the reception to "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" when the song was new. It built steam as a regional hit ...
This seems to be the first mention in a Minneapolis newspaper of the phrase "wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" as a song title, not in a normal news article context
The single was a big hit in Duluth, if not the rest of the country

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Never forget.
If you believe that Dem leadership is fighting for you, ask them what they did when the Supreme Court took away the human rights of 50% of the nation, when two thirds of Americans disagreed with the Court’s decision, and we had the presidency. More than 3 years later. Ask how they’ve fought.

What I'll never understand abt "moderate" Dem enthusiasm for risking it all to do a deal w Republicans is that the regime has ALREADY SHOWN that they will act in defiance of existing civil rights & appropriations laws. Why on earth would you expect them to comply with the stipulations of any deal?

Fundamentally, addressing poor employment quality requires that more workers gain greater access to collective bargaining.

Exactly. This is the same old story. I have no more faith in Democrats.
If Dems think that the ppl will only blame Repubs, they’re crazy.
Everything that ppl did to elect Dems was a waste of time. It was for nothing. I am sick of these Dem legislators.
I am sick of Dems’ stupid strategy.

I think these 8 Democrats showed us exactly why we are in this situation. Democrats are weak, and that is Republicans’ strength, and why they are in power now.

We asked Jonathan Greenblatt of the ADL: Why set up a tip line as part of their “Mamdani Monitor”?
Has the ADL ever done this for a single official?
“We've certainly never had an elected official like this before,” he said.
