it's so odd to me to see people go to bat for a political newcomer like platner. it's not like he's spent years earning our trust. we have very, very few data points about this dude, and one of those data points is "he has a nazi tattoo."

“the flag would look weird” is actually the number one most important reason
i really think the only reason we haven't created new states — which was a common political tactic in the 19th century, see nevada and the dakotas — is that 50 is a round number

it boggles my mind that so many leftists, who broadly subscribe to an ideology that correctly points out the bad incentives of capitalism, have decided that the obvious incentive for constraining supply when you own some of the supply simply does not apply to homeowners
It dispels many myths
1. Corporations own most of the homes. FALSE. They do not
2. Corporations want to keep homes vacant. FALSE. They like renting them out to *make money* instead of losing it.
3. Homeowners are the heroes fighting against this. FALSE. They drive up prices making this possible

Not a huge Derek Thompson fan but he's straightforwardly correct here. Financial institutions own a tiny percentage of US homes and generally rent them out rather than keeping them vacant. Preventing BlackRock from buying housing wouldn't do much to help affordability.

"don't make immigration salient" is going to stick in my craw forever. just a total demonstration of fecklessness and a piss poor understanding of the political moment.

Important to note that this is the Same Guy who is so dishonest that he will somehow say acknowledge that 94% of trans women assaulters committed the offences pre-transition, and yet somehow uses the rate from those prisoners as evidence that testosterone suppression does not reduce the risk of SA

great example of a common dynamic: anything that anyone vaguely left-coded on the internet says is associated with and becomes a problem for “the democratic party”
A message I just got from a buddy of mine, who’s a long time Democratic Party campaign consultant: “This Sydney Sweeney thing is the kind of thing that turns men away from our party. It’s why men think our party is weak & insane.”
My response to him? “Fuck yea it is. You are exactly right.”

Genuinely horrifying that an EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNAL has somehow devolved into inane debate over what counts as a “real vagina”

I am rapidly moving from “Trump knew his rich buddy sometimes ‘dated’ underage girls and didn’t care” to “Trump was actively participating in the sexual abuse and possibly the commercial sex trafficking”
To be very clear, this is Trump saying that he knew that Epstein was taking underage girls from Mar-a-Lago to “work” for him, including one of the most prominent victims.
Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here.
Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre?
Trump: I think so. He stole her.

it is imperative to remember that MTG and the far-far-right have reached the right conclusion on the genocide in Gaza essentially by accident, because they are antisemitic. You do not need to hand anything to them
the democratic party's failure on this is obvious, but i don't think describing marjorie taylor greene as "in front of" or "to the left of" the dems is comprehending the situation correctly.

I cannot get over how no one in mainstream politics even disputes factual claims like this. Everyone admits that Israel is starving children and murdering desperate civilians. The only ‘debate’ is about what to call it and whether the motives of people protesting it are pure enough.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.
