Is Infantino’s flame out this week another example of the ETTD principle at work especially since the plan to sell FIFA to private equity has a Kushner at the center of it.
I’m a card carrying socialist & union member & all that and/but this book fucking torpedoed for me the myth that Democrats & Republicans are “the same.” The massive, fundamental differences btwn D & R administrations in regard to disabled ppl’s lives is INSANE.👩🏻🦼➡️❤️ judithheumann.com/being-heumann/

"Some of the most trenchant commentary came not from Big Journalism but from individual commentators..." Margaret's summary applies not just to "Trump's awful speech", but to the last decade of US politics. Especially if you include the growing [quantity and quality] independent media sector.

Jeff Abbott@palabrasdeabajo.bsky.social · 4w agoA Paradise Built in Hell by @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social is one of the most important works on how communities respond to crisis I have ever read. Everything Rebecca writes inspires me, but this one has had a major impact in my life and how I report.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid
The Atlantic@theatlantic.com · 4w agoDemocrats became great by fighting the far left—and today’s party can learn crucial lessons from those battles, David Brooks argues:
The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain. Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow. Happy 250, America!
not really fourth of july content but i found thus explanation of affordable housing financing in DC very informative.
Why affordable housing can’t pay for itself
Understand development costs, the financing needed to meet them, and the ever-present “gap.” This is the first in an ongoing series about how affordable housing works.

When you menace a Jewish candidate whose position is identical to the other candidate and has actually protest koshered himself by calling Gaza a genocide your singling him out because he’s a Jew. That’s antisemitic. Presumably you’re unfamiliar w the incident or maybe you’re just bigoted trash.

Ossoff is making a very strong play for the "I stand at the center of the Democratic Party ideologically, but I long to bathe in the blood of my enemies" lane in the 2028 primaries. And that's gonna be a good lane to have.

I don’t say this often these days, but Congress actually passed something good. My bipartisan housing bill to build more housing, lower costs, and stop private equity's housing grab is becoming law.
good to see this. Musk is clearly getting visibly angry at the rising awareness of how many hundreds of thousands of people his DOGE wilding spree has already killed, millions more if this stays in place into the future. Everyone can participate in spreading the word about all the blood on his hands
