I can’t remember who pointed this out, but it’s telling that ever since cellphone & surveillance cameras became ubiquitous we haven’t seen proof of a single UFO but we did suddenly have incontrovertible evidence of countless murders committed by cops.

It feels like ages since we’ve heard anyone in elected office with any real command of the old American art of rhetoric. In my lifetime, I think Obama is probably the only other prominent example.

Yup, this will happen.
I wouldn't put it past this court to let Texas's maps stand, and then rule against California's, which were passed by the voters.
There's no rational case they could make for ruling that way, but they don't bother to make a case anymore, they just use the shadow docket for illegitimate rulings.

I think part of What's Going On with billionaires is that the daily friction of interacting with normal people is part of what anchors people to the real world, and once you have enough money to buy your way out of the friction you can knock down a load-bearing column propping up your sanity.

Great interview tonite with artist/activist Nadya Tolokonnikova (Pussy Riot) on Maddow's show. She's not the first Russian dissident to warn us about the deterioration of our democracy (e.g. Masha Gessen, Garry Kasparov), but we should heed thier observations. They KNOW of what they speak-firsthand!

When you think about it, plants are the kulaks of the natural world. Their "photosynthesis" is nothing more than bourgeois parasitism on the honest proletarian labour of the noble Stakhanovite sun
Anti-solar NIMBYs aren't beating the accusations of being pretty dim bulbs. "Extracting from the sky" is a good one

This is the closest thing to the start of a project 2029 document I've seen. Democrats desperately need a plan like this and, just as importantly, the balls to execute it.

I really don't understand who people think should run for local office if not local activists like Katie Wilson. Who's running for mayor with 80% name rec?
"Katie Wilson, if nothing else, has had an audacious rise from a little-known progressive activist..."
"Little-known" only if you're not paying close attention to City Hall. Wilson has been at or near the center of almost every major policy battle in the city for the last 10 years.

It's starting to look like a socialist is going to Seattle City Hall
Plus Airbnb goes back to the mattresses, some recommended reading, and it's time to sign up for our Re-Wire Policy Conference
