• Two time campaign manager for Nebraska state senator Machaela Cavanaugh
• Maybe the first trans person ever to run a winning state senate race in Nebraska?
• Obsessed with Chappell Roan
• I play way too much Pathfinder, especially Second Edition

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

good blog, imo: "We don’t know the shooter’s politics or their motives...What we do know is that they, like all other Americans, had easy access to a gun."
In 2025, as of September 9, there have already been 300 mass shootings in the U.S., according to CNN.

When a right-wing man murdered Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota, progressives asked MAGA to tone down the rhetoric to prevent more violence. Within hours of Kirk’s murder, motive still unknown, the right is demanding that the government wage a campaign of violence against their enemies.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This was always clearly the objective and many in the media also insisted on treating anyone who said so clearly like they were some kind of lunatic bsky.app/profile/carn...
The Overton Window has shifted all the way to ban all non-white people from coming to America. It was never about illegal immigration.

"I was this pedophile's biggest supporter until he was personally mean to me" seems like a bit of an own goal.
Musk says Trump is in the Epstein files and it is being covered up. This escalated quickly.

He knows that Trump's name being in Epstein's contacts has been known for years, right? Epstein is literally on tape, soon before his arrest, saying that Trump was his best friend.

Every so often, political media will go out of its way to create a story and then externalize it as though it happened naturally at the hands of some other party. "Continued questions" from whom? "Emerging" from where? This is police shooting-speak.
Democrats are trying to move beyond Joe Biden, but continued questions about his cognitive abilities while president are emerging as both a major distraction and a litmus test for party leaders
Latest Revelations About Biden’s Acuity Put Democrats in a Tough Spot
The focus on the former president comes as the party needs to look forward rather than backward to exit the political wilderness.

It’s almost as if effective advocacy and leadership, whether for good or evil, can shape public opinion, and it’s possible to work to frame issues instead of passively responding to the way the opposition frames them and accepting their characterization of what is “moderate.”
Rare for a public poll, we did a survey experiment to test whether priming respondents about the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia impacts support for Trump's broader immigration agenda. It does. Support for blanket deportations fell 20 points after hearing about Garcia's case.
