Do people know this? There's such a pervasive obsession in this country with how great the stock market is doing; I wonder how many people would be shocked to learn that the US stock market is being badly outperformed by the rest of the world, and that's a new thing since January 2025.

MSCI US equities 2025: 17.3% MSCI non-US equities 2025: 32.39% 2026 shaping up the same (9% vs 15% so far). Used to be able to claim the US was a dominant stock market with a big scary military. 18 months of Trump II and now it's neither.

This is a great example of why Jeffries is not the man for the moment, and a bad choice to be Speaker. Instead of hitting the unity notes that Dems are doing well in Michigan and Wisconsin, he’s obsessing about local NYC politics because he’s afraid of losing power and it’s hurting Dems nationally.

Philosophers often bring up the "principle of charity": a willingness to assume good faith in an interlocutor and treat them accordingly. It's good to do in many circumstances. But it is worth formulating a principle of not being a fucking mark. If not during the rise of fascism, then when? 12/

If you wanna hear a real “…and they all clapped” story, @mayor.nyc.gov was at Balthazar last night with his family (yes, including Mira auntie) and, as they left, the restaurant literally burst into a round of applause. For the mayor of New York. A guy we historically greet with “fuck you”.

So called Rational market actors when trump nearly blows up the world economy for the 29th time: nah its priced in it’ll all be fhne Those same actors when interest rates go up slightly to reduce inflation: OH FUCK SELL EVERYTHING THE GROUPCHAT SAYS THE BANKS OUT OF MONEY GO GO BAILOUT

We all win with Medicare for All! The UAW supports Medicare for All because everyone deserves quality healthcare. M4A would also strengthen our hand at the bargaining table to fight for better wages, time off, and retirement security for every UAW member!

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

It was only active organizing by former slaves that transformed the Lincoln presidency into an army against the Confederacy. We have an opportunity to revolutionize our federal government and finish Reconstruction to end Israeli apartheid.
