I know it’s incredibly dorky and cringe, but I’ll be thinking a ton about Sam’s speech over the next four years. Never forget that there is good in this world, and it’s worth fighting for

I have watched as so-called "compromise" positions on transgender people's rights have failed over and over--in statehouses, the Biden White House, and in liberal rhetoric. There is no middle ground acceptable to the politicians, activists, and billionaires obsessed with trans people and our lives.

Literally I look at the pushback against Mamdani from Dem leaders and all I see is “someone who wants to make your life the tiniest little bit easier with very small and easy changes is an enormous threat to us”. How could I ever support your party again??

For my newsletter, I took a deeper look at the electoral record of WelcomePAC, a centrist group that produced that 352 page document advising Democrats to moderate once again.

Turns out the campaigns they work for aren't winning. www.burnsnotice.com/fire-the-con...

The Democratic party must move on from the same old stale, carefully poll-tested politics and get back to solving voters' problems. There are only three certainties in life: death, taxes, and Democra...

Still in a bit of a standoff. No more pepper balls for now but ISP is telling people they have five minutes to move back away from the ICE building.

Crowd is chanting, "Pritzker's police protect ICE!"

Outside Chicago—

State police and sheriff's officers at Broadview detention center are out in riot gear.

A large Halloween demo is being prevented from doing a Jericho walk through the intersection.

Arrests of protesters ongoing. Troopers have also assaulted multiple reporters already.

Idk who needs to hear this, but being a fan of a team doesn’t obligate you to be a propagandist for the team. So tired of people getting mad at me when I suggest Caleb Williams might not be that good

Why are people treating the high early vote turnout as good news for Zohran? Given what we know about low- and mid-propensity voters, I would think high turnout would be bad for him

Silverman on Security @silvermansecurity.bsky.social · 1d

Putnam cooked the data for Bowling Alone & then blamed it on his graduate research assistant. When a very distinguished gerontologist called him on ignoring that his peak of communal participation was a post WW II bump & the drop off was the return to historic norm, he got red faced & angry. 1/

Vance brings up the idea of common community, which I think is legit on some level. In his book Bowling Alone, Robert Putnum finds that social capital often goes down in multi-ethnic areas. But these issues are not insurmountable. We know this because Vance married an Indian, Hindu woman.

Ernest P. Worrell's tenure at Touchstone comes to a close with this seasonal slapstick outing celebrated by a generation of millennials who mark the Chiodo Brothers' incredible troll creations as legends of kindertrauma. Even when its silly Varney’s specific brand of comedy still delivers the goods.

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

John Carl Baker @johncarlbaker.bsky.social · 2d

It’s very telling that opening your publication to MAGA “thought” requires a massive downgrade in quality control.

call me crazy but i think inviting someone under federal indictment to an interview, peppering them with questions about the indictment that you know they can’t answer until you cause them to leave, then calling it a “Katie Porter moment” is not good journalism

I just had a Katie Porter moment with congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh. The interview lasted 3 minutes.

Today's winner of the "Please STFU" Award is Kat Abughazaleh.

She was right to hang up! Don't talk about the facts of your federal indictment on a podcast! Or anywhere except your lawyer's office!

Sincerely,

Every Lawyer, Literally All Of Us, Heed Our Counsel And Shut The Fuck Up
