I think this is the fundamental asymmetry underlying every aspect of the conflict between the parties; you see it in the Senate, in gerrymandering, in the use of executive power I don't want King Biden either, but it's long past time to make the GOP afraid of the consequences of endless escalation

It is enormously frustrating to know, as an evolutionary biologist with experience from the trenches of the creationist wars on science, that nobody on Biden’s team nor CNN’s seem to be aware of the Gish Gallop, 30y after Eugenie Scott described it and years of Trump deploying it!

Demolition in Detroit is completely out of control.

They decided to tear this down AFTER THEY SAW THE GOFUNDME TO REPAIR IT.

And Dabls FOUND OUT THE PLANNED DEMOLITION FROM A REPORTER. He had talked to the City earlier in the day and they didn’t tell him.

I'm not saying the Democratic Party is without a pro-Israel wing that could inflict a lot of pain on Biden, but there's also very clearly a significant pro-Palestine wing that could back him on this and instead of trying to draw on it he's just laying down and taking his paddling wtf?

Forensic investigation shows Hind Rajab's car was hit with 355 bullets and finds it "not plausible" that the Israeli tank couldn't see children inside the car. She went through terror among the dead bodies of her family for hours before Israel blew up the ambulance... More info in AJ's documentary.

there are a lot of ways for the state to suppress dissident speech. one particularly bad one is by having armed agents of the state stand by and do nothing while partisan-aligned thugs or paramilitary groups beat you because of your speech, and then have the DA decline to prosecute the assaulters.

Hochul is not engaging in a public debate about what will make NYC public transit more accessible and efficient. She is using transit as a vehicle to drum up support among voters who resent communities most reliant on transit.

People are pointing out that the math makes no sense. That’s not the point. Hochul is weaponizing suburban disdain for low income, Black and brown New Yorkers to serve her political career. This is “welfare queen” style politics. That’s why she put more cops on the subways.
