🔰Henry George's Strongest Soldier
That, and the fact that North's industrial capacity, population, and rail capacity absolutely dwarfed the South's.
Better Things Are Possible@internethippo.bsky.social · 3h agoCan you imagine being a Northerner at the start of the civil war. All the fancy lad West Point military guys are Southerners. Your president is a backwoods yokel one term congressman and your generals are some guys we found at a 7-Eleven. It's over for our ass...unless all those guys are geniuses
The loss of living memory of the Second World War is absolutely catastrophic
god (D-KS) and (D-TX) are going to hit so fucking hard
*screaming off the top of my lungs* SOCIALISM IS AN EXTENSION OF LIBERALISM. WITHOUT LIBERALISM SOCIALISM WILL DEGENERATE INTO HORRIFIC AUTOCRACY
Wandering Hoo@wanderlib.bsky.social · 11h agoNot having a liberal/socialist split makes the (US) American Left vastly more sane than most of its international counterparts
oh that's fine instead of the hard problem of winning every election forever we can just solve the hard problem of making the opposition not be fascists
But can you produce a Sankey Diagram? Or failing that, the master Excel file for coordinating who gets whom when?
SE Gyges@segyges.bsky.social · 19h agowhy have these fucking people invented a pattern of professional dishonesty that is correctly countered by producing a graph of their polycule why would you fucking do that. do you want me to produce such a graph? seriously. why.
problem for future America where we beat down the fascists without a civil war tbh bsky.app/profile/adis...
i dreamt a dream,@adistantdream.bsky.social · 4h agoI won't doom over vote share this coming November but I will definitely doom about vote share in 2030.
I rather think Pete Hegseth is a bit of a disaster and should be impeached if I'm gonna be fr with you guys. othermeans.substack.com/p/the-weak-d...

Municipal Fox@amunicipalfox.bsky.social · 6h agoThe straightforward reality is that you cannot deport everyone who is here without legal protection, because there is no way to arrest 2% of the population without declaring war on your own citizens. The fact that Trump tried and failed in Minneapolis is proof of why this does not work!
I saw the phrase "Draco Malfoid" and immediately dissociated
Cameron 🇺🇸🗽🦅@cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 9h agoon the other side chuds have reinvented genderbent Draco Malfoy from first principles really reinforcing the idea that it was basically a coin flip which end of the political-cultural axis was on top when social media first popped off
this is also why Mass Deportations in the United States look like this! that's what they are! You can't trade populations like stock market assets.

one big difference in Europe and the US is that I don't really get the sense that there are mainstream European political parties that really affirmatively make the case that immigration is good for Europe.
Zoomer Antimillenarian@surcomplicated.bsky.social · 8h agoPpl keep telling me about how in Europe they would simply ban bigoted political movements and right now Germany's highest-polling party is openly Anschlusspoasting without any fear of consequence.
For those who don't know why this is important: Ta'izz is pretty much the last major city along the N1 highway between the Houthis and Aden.
James@gravitysra1nbow.bsky.social · 9h ago>Ta'izz is about to fall Great national security policy Mr. Hegseth. I can feel how much we're winning on a daily basis. No more weak department. Final victory any day now. 👍
(2030) CARLSON: had hitler won they’d have let you keep the chippies though, and the sausages would be much better REES-MOGG: on the contrary, the sausages in germany are, in fact, mid, and particularly those who reject jerk chicken, as the americans say, Don’t Know Ball
lowtax speedrun enjoyer@rickywlmsbong.bsky.social · 13h agojacob rees-mogg eventually becomes british bill kristol after getting yelled at by right-wing freaks for the next 4 years. then we will know madness
Would be extremely funny if by refusing to get realistic and triage to just hold the second tier of reach seats, the GOP lose the whole pot
A trifecta in Texas basically lets us permanently control the House.
Hyde T. Voltyge@hydevoltyge.bsky.social · 23h agoImportant thread of State Senate races in Texas, yeah many of them are >20 points of margin to flip, but honestly... It's in play. GOP polling says they're losing R+23 SD-02. They could lose more. As I've said, Texas is the epicenter of the national wave this year.
I don’t think people are prepared for how quickly the electoral base of the GOP will collapse leaving demographics who hate their guts.
the abbot of unreason (an archaeologist)@merovingians.bsky.social · 23h agoDeath is knocking at the door of the Republican party.

No I'm not rage-quoting that ridiculous prestige publication story on toy sales to adult only households comprising a majority, and you can't make me A pointed subtweet is all I'm giving to that shit, stop giving people a hard time for the harmless things they enjoy
There is no discussion of original intent in Trump v. U.S., because of course we all know the Founders would've had Trump hanged (And would have risen in rebellion at the ruling in Trump v. U.S. itself)
This and the P(doom) video feel totally different to me than AI generated music about anything else. Meta-textual music about the weirdness of genAI itself feels like the only subject where the music/video being generated is more compositionally appropriate to the topic than handcrafting would be
this feels like a low-key 'October surprise' that could further undermine Republicans with white women
Colette Delawalla, PhD@cdelawalla.bsky.social · 2d agoThis is slightly out of my normal lane, and I could charge six (hell maybe seven) figure to deliver this message as a consultant, but I’m gonna do it for free.

TrumpReposter@trumpreposter.bsky.social · yesterday(1/2) I don’t know about anyone else, but a table full of very distinguished people just told me that they HATE, immediately after a mandatory time change, going home at night – and it’s DARK. It’s depressing! One of the gentleman stated that, “I just hate going home in
