Rep. Tlaib’s Economic Dignity for All Agenda Would Bring Economic Security for Millions
The agenda would lower poverty by 42% and child poverty by two-thirds.

Wow — Senators Van Hollen, Smith, Murphy, Sanders, Warren, Markey, Merkley, Heinrich have created an official internal "Fight Club."
They're challenging Schumer & Gillibrand's leadership, arguing the party is using an old, corporate-friendly playbook insufficient to take on Trump or win elections.

The partisan divide has grown, too. The wealthiest 100 tended to give more to Republicans than to Democrats before last year. But giving to the GOP spiked in 2024, with *84%* of donations going to back Republicans or conservative PACs.

trump (after zohran mamdani charms him for 5 minutes): “we’re looking very strongly at implementing socialism, many people are saying it. they love redistribution of wealth and you’re hearing it more and more. there’s a term, they call it, a centrally planned economy. it’s an old fashioned term”

expanding on this (and i realize that its opaque) but like even among the "rightist" caucuses, you have SMC who are basically a fusion of dem socialism with post-Maoism, while GW came from a merger of ecosocialists with some folks who are (for lack of a better term) post-Stalinists
this is kind of a nitpick, but as books are starting to come out about dsa, something i am noticing is that these professors/writers dont seem to understand the ideological thinking that underlies most dsa cadre's socialism and instead just assuming Bernie-esque DemSoc-ism which isnt really right

This article is devastating.
Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him.
Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.

Something I wish got challenged more often in this “men in crisis” discourse is the blithe assumption (or sometimes outright assertion!) that everyone’s boss is a woman now. “Women now dominate white collar work and corporate management roles.” No they don’t. That just isn’t true.
Really thankful for this, from @winterjessica.bsky.social—a long-overdue corrective to an exhausting discourse. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
What Did Men Do to Deserve This?
Changes in the economy and in the culture seem to have hit them hard. Scott Galloway believes they need an “aspirational vision of masculinity.”

i think the media should report on the extremist ties of the VP
“The infighting [over welcoming open Nazis into the GOP tent] is stupid,” writes Vice President Vance, which makes sense only if he thinks any Republicans objecting to said Nazi-welcoming should shut up.
doing a Straussian reading of this post, especially point 3, and it's fairly obvious that Vance is aligned with the Tucker Carlson-wing of the GOP and thinks further right groups should be part of the tent, but won't outright break with Trump's I/P policy while he's still VP
