Black joblessness ticked up. A reminder that people vote for hierarchy. It’s a hard truth but makes sense.

Jasmine Crockett brings fire. Centrist Dems bring a wet blanket. Then blame the base when democracy loses.
It’s a doom loop, and they keep spinning it.

Been thinking a lot about how centrist Never Trumpers spent the last year blaming “wokeness” and young people—when it was their own failed strategy that lost 2024. They chased a mythical middle, sidelined the base, and punched left harder than they did authoritarianism. Let’s talk about it.

Trump’s remarks about Somali Americans reflect so much of what is wrong about our understanding of history and the way we are all connected by it.

Trump didn’t just pardon a drug trafficker. He pardoned his own foreign policy. This isn’t justice gone wrong; it’s the American empire doing exactly what it was built to do. Shout out to @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and his point about the root causes of immigration flows.

Silence helps no one: ICE detained the Brazilian-born mother of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew, a former DACA kid, showing Trump’s crackdown now hits his own inner circle.

The last president sicced the Justice Department on his own son. This one fired a qualified prosecutor and installed an unqualified loyalist to stage a kangaroo court against a private citizen, a case that even sober minds agree was evidence-free and unnecessary.

The “peace plan” that wasn’t.
A quick breakdown of the deal on Ukraine, and what it says about the collapse of the order the U.S. claimed to uphold.

MTG didn’t just get ousted, she became disposable.
The GOP rewards women who scream for the cause and not those who try to steer it. The moment Marjorie Taylor Greene got ambitious, the old boys’ machine spat her out. This isn’t new. It’s how male power works in the party.

Ron’s half right: Mamdani did play the optics. But when a socialist bypasses the center to protect his city’s funding, that’s not “nothing.” That is the realignment.

Mamdani and Trump in the Oval Office isn’t a glitch in the matrix, it’s the new algorithm.
The populist left and populist right are circling the same pressure points: housing, crime, cost of living.
The center has no script for this.

The Trump and Mamdani meeting shows that the weak links in today’s politics are people clinging to a neoliberal and neoconservative consensus that, in its excesses, has alienated the electorate.

While the pundits spent years debating whether Trumpism was “real conservatism,” the machinery of power kept humming.
I wrote about my own journey through that debate, what we missed, and how we got here.

The party of the future can’t keep taking advice from ghosts of the past. My latest piece looks at how the alliance between neolibs and anti-Trump neocons might be holding Democrats back from real renewal.
