More rich people in and around Seattle should use their wealth like this.
It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

counterpoint: nothing you post on any social media platform will in any way combat the dangerousness of the right
IMO it's hard to combat the dangerousness of the right by participating in a platform where they aren't present.
I think the best way to explain the X vs Bluesky preference is whether a person thinks the left is more annoying than the right is dangerous.
The reason so many Noah Smiths end up on the X side of that equation is that while the left annoys them personally, the right mostly endangers other people.

If you're a Tennessee Republican looking at these results in #TN07, you gotta be scared for #TN05 next year.
Republican incumbent who's not really raising any money, Democratic opponent who's raised nearly $1 million already, AND it's a district that's 10% bluer than TN-07.

as per a post you had earlier, a major problem with this is that you cannot somehow finesse yourself past the political party as an institution.

So much for that.
Democrats are back! We’re flipping seats, winning governorships, and turning seats blue once again!
The message is clear: America is ready for Democrats to lead.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

I am looking for congressional leaders to come out quickly and forcefully against this. We need unequivocal opposition. We need theatric demonstrations of defiance. We need to see leadership. Trump will steamroll us all if we display weakness. Where are our leaders?
An act of war weeks in planning but unauthorized by Congress against a country that Trump's own director of intelligence testified under oath was not close to getting a nuclear weapon.

Genuine question, you say 'this is the place we can stop them' but we don't have the numbers in the house and we only stopped the ACA repeal in the Senate because of three republican senators with a conscience. Who are we supposed to count on now? McConnell?
House Rs just passed the budget resolution, the first step in their process to enact a bill that'd kick millions off Medicaid & cut SNAP down to just $1.60 per person per meal on avg while cutting taxes for the top 0.1% by $278k - all while increasing the debt
