it’s pretty pretty pretty grim to have the vice president literally repeat the rhetoric of white nationalists and then have the most powerful newspaper in the country say “he’s trying to split the difference” because he chose not to enunciate the 14 words.

The Olivia Nuzzi story and the Bari Weiss at CBS story are the same story, which is that the upper echelons of legacy media are absolutely rife with people who worship power and don't feel burdened by any sense of responsibility to their profession or the public.

the basic problem I have with degrowth logic is that i just don't see how their basic assertion ("we are on course to exhaust the earth's ecological potential unless we radically reduce consumption, not of specific things but in general") is obviously true

CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Great opportunity for a group of credible journalists to launch a cooperatively owned masthead and scoop up a boatload of small dollar donations for seed capital. @defector.com has already shown the way here
There is a tremendous opportunity for a brand new generation of media outlets to rise up right now because many news outlets that spent decades painstakingly building their credibility are seeing it torched by bootlickers with incredible speed.

This is why a tea party style movement is critically necessary on the left. We need to be scaring the shit out of establishment dems
I recognize that it is often USEFUL to be optimistic, but hard to imagine Dems winning with margins and having conviction to do what's necessary. Do Schumer, Jeffries, Booker, Gillibrand really care about anything besides donors?
I often disagree with activists, but senior Dems HATE the left

Anyway, liberalism and socialism are not enemies, and to the extent that you insist that they are, you are clinging to Ego. You have failed to apprehend the true meaning of "Form is Emptiness. Emptiness is Form." I will now give you a firm thwack with the keisaku.

It’s actually quite clarifying to see pieces like this from @mattyglesias.bsky.social. While many people have speculated whether his opinions arise from stupidity or malice, this piece makes it clear he speaks from plain old greed. The question remaining is only how much he sold it for
Matt Yglesias gets a guest essay in The NY Times to push oil industry propaganda. And he is no different from the likes of Stephen Miller in his approach to the facts. But let's start with his big idea!
"Liberals should support America’s oil and gas industry."
