Centrists claim if the left and right are mad at them, then they’re doing something right. They have no principles or convictions other than being contrarian and they almost always direct it at the left. They think it’s clout-worthy truth telling when it’s often just ethical & moral bankruptcy.

I wonder how many more times ICE can gas Chicago police before things move from tense to hostile between the two. It's not even unthinkable that some ICE thug ends up seriously injuring or killing a Chicago cop out of carelessness or confusion.

Governor JB Pritzker @govpritzker.illinois.gov · 17h

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

If the enzyme strips the antigen from the outsides of cells, but leaves the DNA coding for that antigen inside the cell genome intact, what keeps the cells from just producing more of it, leading to a delayed rejection in the future? Or does this alter the DNA too?

“many prominent young republicans are actual Nazis” is a self-censoring fact at this point

normie swing voters will literally refuse to believe it and the media refuses to report it because it would call everything else they’ve done into question

while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

from my WIFL interview with @jdandeneau.bsky.social

I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

People will literally make "coffee" out of anything if they're denied real coffee. Dandelions. Figs. Chicory root. Candied grains. Undisclosed plant materials, bacteria, and a bioreactor. You name it.

Just wait for Freedom Brand Coffee Drink to hit the shelves and check the ingredients list.

Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:

The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight

Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.
