One of the most interesting throughlines in American nativism has ALWAYS been the descendants of recent immigrants valuing other descendants of recent immigrants as if they were both inarguably In The Club.
No one gets me more fired up than the people making a case for hating their own grandmas.

Who exactly would rather have a stablecoin that a barely regulated company SAYS is worth a dollar instead of... a dollar, which IS worth a dollar?
I just don't see how you can be into this absent some mix of gullibility, cynicism, and corruption, which of course is exactly why this junk is legal.

What Are Stablecoins? (Gift Article)
You can use stablecoins, which are pegged to the dollar, to buy things online or send money abroad with minimal fees — and they are subject to very little legal oversight.

I'm not the first to say it, but this (very good) article is the latest one pushing me toward politically prioritizing "algorithmic content recommendation as a public health concern." Ending 230 immunity for platforms with both user-posted content and algorithmic recs needs to be the first debate.
you should quit social media if you can.
if you can't, you should use apps that give you and old-school reverse chronological feed of posts from people you follow. yes, like bluesky.

Great thread. Reminder that 1) There is no easy button to avoid the long, hard slog of liberty, and 2) whatever idea you're talking about isn't eternally bulletproof just because a Founding Father wrote it down when only white male landowners could vote and our primary adversary was England.
Let's talk about Article V, a🧵. What’s that? It’s the bit in the Constitution that allows amendment. There are two ways the Constitution can be amended. One is the process you're familiar with: Congress passes an amendment and the states ratify it. Read it here: www.law.cornell.edu/constitution....

Hot take: the Dems overperform polls tomorrow because pollsters haven't really grappled with inflation being THE issue in American politics since '22, even as their own polls say so. Conventional wisdom is that '24 was a "cultural" shift, but this makes no sense if most voters barely follow news.
