The only remotely good thing about the current administration is that they have called the question as to what sort of country the US is. Are we a white Christian nation, or are we a religiously and culturally pluralistic one? Here’s hoping voters make the right choice. bsky.app/profile/3fec...
This should not be shrugged aside. They have stopped with the fake 22 million illegal immigrants things and are flat out saying we want to deport 10's of millions of citizens and legal residents from "third world countries" Basically they are advocating removing 1/3 of the population on a gov site.

American healthcare is an unavoidable death spiral because of the nature of insurance. You can't have a system that exists to dispense care managed by entities that only profit by denying it, siphoning off money that should be used tor care.
Health care costs have officially spiked for millions as Affordable Care Act subsidies lapsed at midnight thanks to GOP inaction
Health Care Costs Skyrocket For Millions Of Americans As Subsidies Lapse
The change impacts a cross-section of Americans who don’t get insurance from an employer and don’t qualify for Medicaid or Medicare.

A Tent Big Enough for Bigots but Too Small for Critical Race Theory
Like so many of critical race theory's detractors, Matthew Yglesias fails to engage with the actual scholarship.

"While children in California, which does not allow for nonmedical vaccine exemptions, are vaccinated against measles at 96 percent, there is not a single county in Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee, Utah or Wisconsin whose kindergarten rates meet herd immunity protection."
EXCLUSIVE: @laurenweberhp.bsky.social & I have spent the last year collecting school+county-level vaccination data from across the US and found that only about 28% of counties now have herd immunity for kindergartners from measles—that leaves about 5.2mn kids unprotected.

U.S. vaccination rates are plunging. Look up where your school stands.
Take a look to see what the kindergarten measles vaccination rates are in your area.

Mamdani took over the @NYCMayor account on Twitter but old Eric Adams tweets are still active. That means Mamdani's name and face shows up for old tweets he didn't send.
You're probably going to see a lot of screenshots like this where Mamdani appears to praise Netanyahu, but they aren't by Mamdani

I have 3 axioms that help me decide when to talk to people I disagree with:
1. To debate a subject is to concede that the subject is debatable.
2. To reason with a person is to concede that the person is reasonable.
3. To ask for evidence of a claim is to concede that the claim might be true.
