Or ... or you'll ... shoot the babies?

DHS I don't know if you were all absent on training day but you can't shoot babies even if you don't like their parents. There is nothing that can be happening with a baby that makes it ok to shoot babies.

It is funny the extent to which Charlie Kirk has no legacy though, and that his death was basically career self destruction for Ezra Klein

Good time to ask all those supposedly unpolitical people who posted weepy eulogies for Charlie Kirk if they’re going to post one for Renee Good or not.

What can history teach us about what happens when a populist strongman with an idiosyncratic taste for low interest rates undermines central bank independence?

a rather significant portion of the founding was based on “no guys like Donald Trump in particular”

they really specifically wanted to avoid this type of know-nothing demagogue
people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

This is the sort of statement that was expected from every university president and law firm partner over the last year. That those statements weren’t made played a huge part in where we are now and people will remember.
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

The Plot to Enslave America.

This slowdown in the labor market was precisely the outcome that the oligarchs who brought trump back into power were trying to engineer.

The thing they hated about the Biden economy wasn't $50 burrito taxis, but 3% unemployment
NEW from me:

Job growth has been functionally zero over the last five months, as the US sinks from a “low hire, low fire” labor market to a “no hire” one.

That slowdown is hitting young & low income workers the hardest 🧵

Just a reminder that we successfully cut child poverty in half and then just decided we didn’t want to do that anymore
With the expiration of ACA subsidies, the pandemic welfare state has officially ended.

Probably just a coincidence that the pandemic-era policy Democrats managed to keep alive the longest is the one that spent tens of billions on health insurance companies.

Republicans forced the Bureau of Land Management to put over 20,000 acres of public land in Colorado up for auction at the discount price of $10/acre with reduced royalty rates for oil and gas drilling.

No one bid for it because demand for oil is crashing though. 🔌💡

My main point was that U.S. police officers are, one to one, much more violent than U.S. soldiers, and much likelier to commit murder at close range out of anger.

And historically, they've been totally fine with various local, state, & federal govts, so long as they embrace white supremacy. They've long served as the paramilitary arm of conservative politics, carrying out beatings, lynchings, plunder, & mass violence for these "legitimate" state actors.
The anti government militias were never anti government, they just hate Black people.

It is impossible to overstate the degree to which the entire national political media's coverage of the 2024 presidential campaign, especially once Harris won the nomination, was deeply, fundamentally, shamefully unserious about the stakes & the candidates.
I can still recall all the tut-tutting from the media when Harris made this argument.
Kamala Harris at her closing campaign rally:

"Donald Trump intends to use the United States Military against American citizens who simply disagree with him."

I don’t know how you have a civil rights movement if it won’t prioritize its members’ civil rights.

And convincing a ton of trans kids their rights didn’t matter, and they should sacrifice them to Send A Message about something else, instead of fighting for their own existence, was absolutely evil.
The worst sin that the leftists of my lifetime have committed is honestly making a whole bunch of LGBT kids feel like their identity is frivolous and tertiary at best to things that are Actually Important. It started the second gay marriage was legalized.
so much of pop culture and particularly gay/queer pop culture has been captured by dumb-ass pop wisdom, its wild to see people who are/will be victimized for their identity go all in on the "identity politics is a distraction" crowd because space socialism will do away with homophobia or something
