one of the most distinctive things about the second Trump administration is the active attempt to appear as evil as possible. this is his portrait from his first and his second administrations.

One of the most joker-fying things that regularly happens to me is people telling me "Isn't it IRONIC that EAs claimed to care about global poverty then elected the guy who gutted PEPFAR" while our membership is like 1% Republican and EA as a whole has the politics of a very liberal city.
Imma be real with you guys the "TESCREAL" stuff is basically the libleft version of rightist paranoia over "Cultural Marxism", where you just smash together a half-dozen things that annoy you and go "these things are all connected and being pushed by a nefarious secret cabal of my political enemies"

I've had this same thought, and I think taking the next step in society is going to require a more aggressive stance towards fighting scams, and zero-sum money chases more generally.
I’m increasingly concerned how navigating the modern world requires ever more sophistication, and about the huge and growing segment of people left behind by it who get eaten alive by scams and propaganda

Upon reflection, I think the main reasons that the resistance has remained nonviolent is just because it 1. works 2. is low risk and relatively easy to get into

Chuck Schumer knows ball and I, for one, am tired of pretending he doesn't
(whispering): the Dems are actually pretty good at legislating in the minority
Side note: The HHS appropriations bill that passed as part of the minibus has ZERO anti-trans riders in it. It will almost certainly pass the House.

This is a good idea:
What percentage of Americans do all the Senate Democrats plus Murkowski & Collins represent
I would like to see this information included in every report of a Senate vote, the same way journos eventually established the norm of reporting the party of the president who appointed federal judges.

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

If folks focused even 1/10th of the energy they use to shit on Democrats 24/7 to work the refs of the mainstream media into covering the news/events/issues we want covered, we may actually see some change in this country.

Social movements in the 2010s - not just American trans rights and BLM but also the Arab Spring, the Hong Kong protests, etc. - just assumed history was on their side and didn't anticipate that the state could just say no to democratization and that conservatives could countermobilize.
have seen some folks mention or contemplate that there were parts of “Woke 1.0” that were inept, too much, ham-fisted, etc. Without putting anyone on the spot, has anyone more concretely described what, exactly, they think were the inept or too much parts?

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

Echoing this: I’m optimistic liberalism will one day claw back into power in the United States, and some sort of justice will be served to the fascists holding the reigns of government; but the path there is long, brutal and miserable.
Rereading 'Battle Cry of Freedom' recently, and it is striking how Union morale seemed on the verge of collapse after every battlefield setback, while the South was delusionally confident until Atlanta and Charleston were burning.

I scrolled thru the bad place recently and can only feel disgust. There are still good accounts of real people, but they are swamped by an ocean of bots, trollfarms and deplorables in their replies. Every fascist/tankie falling into vile profane ranting when cornered. It feels filthy.
