Institutional and partisan liberalism in America has a serious pipeline problem. We don't lack for big donors or policy nonprofits or activist orgs. But the path from being a young, talented liberal without backing to becoming a leading voice has fallen into disrepair gofund.me/9eafa1719

Thank you for those who chipped in yesterday. We're only $7000 from our big 40% milestone now. We will be doing much less public fundraising after we hit this, pivoting our focus to making use of what we've raised to grow and meet the expectations of everyone who supported us gofund.me/45326c9d3

One of the benefits of parliamentary government is the existence of shadow cabinets and a relatively clear opposition agenda, one of the frustrations of the American system is that the alternative to the party in power (when there is one) is always fragmented and hard to understand or encompass.

Really fascinating argument from @polphilpod.bsky.social today
“Liberalism is probably stronger now than it was a decade ago—in terms of both raw numbers of believers, and the strength of their belief. Being in a fight for your literal life does that. What can be said is we’ve lost the race to cannibalize the corpse of conservatism.”

Vienna and Falls Church are ridiculous. In high school, I had an address in Fairfax (the city) but it was really Burke. Fairfax County is such a mess of boundaries.

what i really want to know is when the atlantic will start taking the pedocon scandal seriously. it would be a mistake for them to dodge it
It would be a mistake for Democrats to dodge the welfare-fraud scandal in Minnesota—people “leading the fight against fraud are not those who want to dismantle the social safety net, but those who want to keep it,” James Surowiecki argues.
Democrats Need to Take Welfare Fraud Seriously
Safeguarding the social safety net is essential for keeping it.

The head of Denmark’s army should not be in Greenland, working to deter US attack. That is a bad use of his time, weakening everyone in NATO, Denmark and the US very much included.
Or, rather, it would be a bad use of his time, except the US president decided to threaten conquest against US allies.

It’s like when you post “I’d like to report a murder” in relation to some dunk, but they have actual paperwork for it
I’m just laughing at the thought of them going back to base and filling out paperwork to report a verbal “assault”.
