I think about this quote all the time and I'm so glad I stumbled upon my screenshot so I can attribute it properly to @aireadee.bsky.social

Screenshot of May 5, 2019 tweet from Airea D Matthews reading:

Imagine this: You can think yourself progressive and still be racist. Racism colonizes the imagination. The only way to not be racist is to work at being anti racist and to rewire the imagination.

Anti racist is not a static or default position; its work.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

we really haven’t talked enough about how the ny post tried to make a major scandal out of Mamdani calling his father’s cousin aunt

They have one in Edgewater, in the Mitsuwa shopping center! Worth coming out for the food court and then the shops.

chill, buddy. I value the work Matt does, even if he not's always right (and who is?) I've been thinking about this topic generally for awhile and this was the perfect illustration.

Kate Stutzel @katestutzel.bsky.social · 1d

This is not a dig at Matt, whose work I enjoy! But come on, people. What are you still doing over there???

It is long past time for New Jersey political reporters to get off Twitter.

Screenshot of tweet from Matt Friedman from NJ Politico reading:

I can't help but wonder if one reason so many of us misread this election was Twitter. IIRC, the replies to Sherrill were way more negative than to Jack. I know on a conscious level that Twitter isn't real life, but I'm still affected by it.

Thanks for reminding me why it feels like there's little coverage of the suffering. Of course people hide it 💔

Shame over poverty is such that people reflexively hide it. I had one pair of pants for years, and we lost our house to bankruptcy. But my mother and stepfather in the same town (with whom I didn't live) had no idea. So many people, barely hanging on, keeping it to themselves, now without food.

The GoFundMe platform is doing more to fight hunger in America than Republicans in Congress. Dystopian shit.

The group owner had already turned off the AI stuff but it popped back up today anyway!!!!!

Kate Stutzel @katestutzel.bsky.social · 4d

I have mixed feelings about this - a baby that hasn't eaten in 24hrs is a "call 911" situation, that's not a fair fake scenario to throw at anybody

Kate Stutzel @katestutzel.bsky.social · 4d

I don't need an AI bot to post inaccurate or inappropriate stuff in our local FB group. That's what the real people are for 😜

Screenshot of FB notification about the group
AI bot they are forcing on us, that includes a note at the bottom that says "Some results may be inaccurate or inappropriate"

There’s a deep question here: the extent to which we weight the reasons voters give for their attitudes. My sense- based on the cognitive political psychology literature- is that we probably should be skeptical of the explanations people give about why they feel as they do.

G Elliott Morris @gelliottmorris.com · 5d

I guess I don't really understand the tweet. We aren't *guessing* that people are anxious about the economy, they are telling us that in polls. Voters say inflation is bad now & angry at incumbents, and they didn't say that in 2017-2022. Other things can act on presidential unpopularity too.

Trump becomes unpopular in 2017: ????

Trump stays unpopular in 2018-2020: ????

Biden becomes unpopular in 2021: ????

Biden stays unpopular in 2022-23: CLEARLY INFLATION

Biden stays unpopular in 2024: HANGOVER FROM INFLATION??

Trumps is unpopular in 2025: PROBABLY STILL INFLATION??
