This is closer to the truth than modslop or progslop buuuuut educational polarization is real. Even in the South there are gains to be had with college-educated whites, especially those located in inner suburbs.
Real heads know southern white people are irredeemable and swings in public opinion have very little to do with campaign messaging.

“Progslop” is the assertion southern white people would vote for socialists if they heard their message about universal healthcare.
“Modslop” is the assertion Dems could win southern white people if they spent their whole campaigns reacting to Republican talking points.

Ipswich Town was reportedly being valued at £375mm (or £325mm w/o promotion to the Prem) back in July. Arizona cops and firefighters making out like bandits, they've almost 10x'd since the £40mm valuation they bought in at in 2021.

An underappreciated part of American democratic erosion is that America simply hasn't done anything meaningful for at least the last 30 years because there's no mechanism for turning popular will into policy without deferring to the lords of several dozens veto-gates along the way.
5 years of seeing your friends get arrested and threatened for practicing their first amendment rights, plus a lifetime of gerrymandering, a useless Congress, and multiple popular vote loser presidents. Many Americans under 30 have never meaningfully experienced democracy.

What a sleazy defense of honest critiques, a transparent attempt at a validation of the editorial dept.'s sins. A lot of us share a view that groveling before power, sanewashing, elitism, etc. is a challenge to our values, not our views.
For my part, I would say that questioning the framing of some Times stories—for example, the highlighting of Trump’s putative emotions or the foregrounding of what he says (even when, as is often the case, what he says is false)—is not an indication that I want my “views validated.”

"The team hypothesized that men 'require more explicit vocalizations to notice and respond to the needs of their cats.' In other words, the researchers are suggesting that many cats have concluded that men don’t always listen, and adjusted their behavior accordingly."

I can't imagine campaigning on this, but if grave breaches become operational policy and other war crimes are routinely pardoned when/if prosecuted, joining the ICC seems much more reasonable than my previous belief that we'd hold our own accountable.

Refusing to follow a “kill the survivors of the previous strike who are clearly hors de combat” order SHOULD BE significantly more clear-cut than refusing one due to “this entire operation is unlawful because citing inherent Article II authority is insufficient.”
