Is that why Obama ran for the Democratic nomination against the only female candidate since 1972? His identity politics are betrayed by his own actions.

Obama on CSPAN : “Even when I was president, I sometimes fantasised about, if you put women in charge of every government for like two years and then just kind of saw, all right, how are things going?

Did you know that government can actually help people?

To all the people defending the Converse ad by saying it wasn't racist because it was made for the Asian market. You know what was also made for the Asian market?

A quick reminder that just because your head looks like an egg, doesn't mean you're actually smart.

This is an insane, authoritarian attack on speech. Rubio shut down an email/web hosting service for activist groups as a “foreign terrorist organization” because a far right think tanker and Daily Caller writer claimed it was used by Antifa and Stop Cop City.

She's not wrong, but it feels like they're ignoring when the Obama administration carried out a sustained attack against a Doctors without borders run hospital in Afghanistan.

Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett and Representative Venton Jones honored Chris Brown and Usher with a Congressional Record recognition from the U.S. House of Representatives recognizing their artistry in Arlington, Texas. Truly some wild nonsense to honor the man who beat Rihanna.

"Your opinions on policy don't matter and if you continue to vote for us they never will." Is exactly why I refuse to vote for anyone in the uniparty. Their loyalty will never be to voters and nothing will improve until all these ghouls are voted out.

The former Special Assistant to President Joe Biden decided to throw a temper tantrum on Twitter, but I do think it is actually really good to have Biden alumna say this out loud.

this is a lie. I'm not gonna provoke this person and their followers, but it absolutely did happen, including at the same time as pushback against Islamophobia, some of said pushback coming from very high up. Both things happened but the shared bond was real and existed & it's wrong to deny

Is there a "political left" in America that they've been hiding from us, or are we conflating liberals with leftists again?

Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 2w ago

I think the political left should be the loudest voice calling for an AI model development pause, frontier pacing, and mandatory third party audits right now. Put aside the doomer stuff (though I think it’s plausible), we just found out that OpenAI’s agents committed a pretty major felony!

When the government and corporations have a monopoly on political violence, but academics still want to lecture you about how individual acts of violence are the real tipping point.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 2w ago

Political violence almost never goes the way proponents hope, as fantasies of a pure cleansing fire crash into the reality of sadistic arsonists, reciprocal spirals, and innocent burn victims.

I now realize that I've been unreasonable critical of the white collar criminal who stole billions from investors while selling sick Americans false hope and erroneous blood test results. She's the real victim.
