"I just don't see how the cold blooded murder of a mother in Minneapolis is going to bring back the 5 for 5 deal at Arby's"
Guys this is deranged. The Consultant Democrats are hopeless, utterly incapable of meeting the moment

Okay here’s an actual take: the fascist international is at war with the very concept of legitimacy.
Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

These stories are just starting to come in. This was not some bloodless coup done "for the vine" this was a crass murderous act with real victims beyond the basic rule of law.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.
Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Donald Trump boldly “making the call” at the Mar-A-Lago situation room (conference table with gauzy black curtains around it and a monitor showing a Twitter search for “Venezuela”). Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” is audible in the background.

A smaller but related point: can folks please stop contrasting academia and “the real world”? Last I checked, we academics are real, too.
Another good practice for the New Year would be for all the non-fascists in America who want to opine about politics to really begin believing that urban America is Real America & that its denizens are The Authentic People. Get some self-respect & drop the volkish nationalist view that they're not
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

I still say these companies are sticking their heads in bear traps every time they promote AI as some sort of health product. "Consumer dies after following bad AI health advice" gets much more actionable when a company says "our product is designed to give you health advice."
These rebranding attempts are getting more ridiculous.
The CEO of Microsoft AI says AI chatbots are a powerful way for humans to offload emotions and 'detoxify ourselves'
Mustafa Suleyman, Microsoft AI's CEO, has described using AI for guidance on life decisions as "something that the world needs."

Perhaps Suozzi shouldn't have opposed the Medicare For All act every time it's come up during either of his tenures as a member of Congress
Suozzi: "In my district, if you make $130,000 & you're a family of 4, you now pay 8.5% of your income for health insurance - $10k to $11,000 a year. That's gonna go up to $30k a year, which means your premium is going to increase $1,500 a month. That's crazy. People are not gonna buy the insurance"
