Mamdani, Greens and others shouldn't really be seen as radical. Rather, they should be seen as a return to the tradition of Roosevelt and Attlee. A return to the common sense social policies that were sidelined by 40 years of a trickle-down experiment that led nowhere. #NewDealers
Brexit Bin 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇩🇪@brexitbin.bsky.social · 9mo agoTwo ideas defined the 1930s. Fascism on the right and Roosevelt's New Deal on the left. The only one to survive was Roosevelt's – until "trickle-downers" started dismantling it in the 1980s. Roosevelt's New Deal is worth cheching out, as it seems to be what folk are looking for again. #NeoRoosevelts

I will never understand how a website started as a sophomoric “hot or not” platform became so powerful.
Alice Stollmeyer@stollmeyer.eurosky.social · 10mo ago🔥 Finally an EU leader says it out loud: “We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies.”

We will have an easier time blocking confirmation of some than others. Tulsi Gabbard is on the TSA’s international terrorist watch list. She should be easy to block IF we all call.

so far the only explanation i've seen that doesn't smack of "if only she'd listen to me she would have won" is "global discontent with incumbents because of inflation and post-pandemic malaise + toxic information environments"

I am much more sensitive to “wrong” laughter after Christine Blasey Ford told her story. Women in my life reacted viscerally to that part of her story. People laughing like Billy Bush did is a HUGE red flag. There was *nothing* funny in Trump’s statements.
Mike Behr@mabehr.bsky.social · 2y agoI had forgotten how Billy Bush had laughed during the whole story. I found that far more disturbing now than when I first heard it.
If anyone would like to learn more about the history of vaccines & infectious diseases and people's stories of the 1918 flu and other epidemics, I wrote this series in 2021. Lots of historical photos and videos. May help if you need to win over a vaccine skeptic. www.sciencenews.org/century/epid...
From 1918 to COVID-19, epidemics are stories about people. Will we remember?
A century’s worth of science has helped us fend off infectious pathogens. But we have a lot to learn from the people who lived and died during epidemics.

The science of humor tells us that laughing helps us make sense of contradiction--it helps us deal with things that could be upsetting by reframing them as non-threatening. And once people accept sexism as a "joke," they'll tolerate even more. 2/2

I honestly have no dog, no fight. More about Drudge. Interesting to see how a right wing mind sees this. Better to focus on the promise of a Harris win. But, dudes defending Trump on this, you know there’s an 80% chance by Haberman is going to report he’s going around saying “I did the Hawk Tuah!”
