rare to see an american politician speak in these terms and it rocks
“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

Social mobility has been declining for decades but that's fine, we don't need the talents of 340 million people as long as we have the several dozen children of our stupidest oligarchs

If you have not read the 1941 Harper’s piece on who goes Nazi, there is a particular paragraph well worth noting about the “rich and scared, the spoiled son, and the labor tyrant” (with alt text):

maybe this is all true and we are living in a world where everyone left of trump is de facto responsible for shaping the Will of the Electorate thru our posts but i still resent the idea that we cannot as private citizens bitch about how dumb and annoying someone is without Doing Bad Strategy
Posted about this elsewhere — but I think it is a bad strategy politically, and very bad analysis of voter psychology (it really is!), to tweet about Trump’s tariffs and deportations etc and say “well, sucks for y’all who voted for it, you get what you vote for/reap what you sow” etc. Thoughts: 1/4

A lot of people responsible for poor decisions are on a press tour right now because if they didn’t, people would rightfully be questioning THEIR leadership and they know it.
