not even mayor yet and he’s already potentially getting big wins like this. there was a whole class of centrist writers who, after zohran won, immediately said he would not be able to get anything done, and particularly pointed to raising taxes as one very out of reach for him
imagine that

Watching Wellstone's legacy of organizing the rural poor, building Labor solidarity and empowering the disenfranchised get squished into "we're making life more affordable!!" over the past 20 years has been so fucking discouraging. No lessons were learned.
it's kinda gross to use photos of paul and sheila wellstone next to this "we're a brand!" stuff, why would you want to make the DFL more like a corporation?

you could fact check this — there aren’t 30 million illegal immigrants and there is no evidence that the presence of an immigrant in say houston has any impact on housing in madison, wisconsin — or you could note straightforwardly that this is just nazi rhetoric
JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

my honest fear is that the mechanism of this administration will normalize victimizing teenage girls, much like they did with the r-slur and calling things "gay" as a pejorative
this is something I've thought about a lot recently - like - this desire that's completely abhorrent is core to so much of the culture of the powerful.
if there is actually a reckoning coming, it needs to completely destroy these people

Also most voters have just never thought remotely seriously about policy. “Should we get rid of illegal immigrants? Well, of course; they’re illegal!” There’s nothing deeper than that going on until they start seeing what that actually entails.
Some Dems and pundits overread the significance of Trump's win. They looked at dissatisfaction with the border and discerned a seismic cultural reaction to immigration levels inside the country. The former was real. The latter is a mirage.

The American penny died on Wednesday in Philadelphia. It was 232. The cause was irrelevance and expensiveness, the Treasury Department said. Nothing could be bought any more with a penny, as the cost to mint the penny had risen to more than 3 cents. nyti.ms/48bFd5K

Anecdotally speaking, the highest density of cybertrucks I've seen in Minnesota has been in Edina. Not """southwest mpls""". Actual Edina proper. I've gone all over the metro and then some since its release and this is the only city where I've seen more than 3 in one day
