White suburban Americans who go overboard on Christmas decorating the day after thanksgiving innately understand white Americans have no culture but they probably don’t have the words to express that.

As a centrist, I think Donald Trump is bad, but the political and economic conditions that enabled him to become president twice are good

Maybe if we dedicated less of our country’s resources to AI and human rights abuses we could have more resources for keeping people from being angry. Someone should look into that.

Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.

If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.

The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.
Waymo privatized another public street:

Chanel approaching 4th, San Francisco

Possibly queued for a Billie Eilish show at Chase Center ~half mile away.

The light rail train on 4th seen passing in front of this roboherd has more passenger capacity than all of them combined.

New piece.

A long deep dive piece into the reasons beyond the punditry and headlines as to why Harris and Democrats as a whole failed in 2024.

I firmly believe this is about far more existential, psychological, and structural reasons than it has been depicted as. Here’s why.
The Deeper Reasons Democrats Lost
It wasn't just that Trump got more votes. It wasn't just that Harris had lower turnout. A deep dive into the psychological, existential, and systemic reasons Harris and Democrats didn't win in 2024.

Disband the department of homeland security and use the money to fund services. Move the coast guard back under a department that can be held accountable to taxpayers.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

If you feel victimized by your neighbors choosing to increase your local tax rates you are in the wrong place and you really should leave. Go somewhere that aligns with your values. It’s relatively easy, especially if you’re a white male tech worker.
some local Seattle residents aren't taking the impending election of a progressive Mayor very well

Normalize playing Ronald Reagan and George HW Bush clips and showing how modern corporate Democrats are generally way to their right. Even Nixon often enough.

Keep the No Kings momentum going today by supporting your neighbors as government fails in real time. There won't be a SNAP distribution in November. People won't be able to buy groceries.

So buy someone groceries. Stock your community fridge/shelf, or start one. And donate cash to a food bank.

They’re calling him Hopeless Harrell.
In his closing statement, Harrell said, "This is not the time for hope. Passion and great ideas and inexperience is just not going to get us there. Trump will walk all over a person without experience, period."
