We live in a post vaccine world. The number of deaths today versus 2020 are like night and day. Averaging 1,000 weekly deaths in 2024 compared to 9,000 in 2021. And we've had nowhere near the peak of 23,000 deaths in years. The last big spike was the beginning of 2022. Since May, we've been avg <300

It’s official: the majority of the UK House of Commons has now been called for Labour, ending 14-year of Tory rule.

Honestly, I can't wait to see it. I showed my son BHC 1 a few weeks ago and he loved it. This has gotten not terrible reviews -- which to me is perfectly fine.

I don't know. I've seen both Lefty Majority Report and more establishment Pod Save talking about it. Doesn't seem ideological.

I'm probably the opposite. I didn't want Biden (I voted for Bernie in the primary), but think he's been the best president in my lifetime but now I think he has to step away from running. And I was one who thought the "age debate" was stupid. But that was disastrous and irrecoverable.

The most obvious choice if Biden does decide not to run is to give his delegates to Harris. She's not my favorite. I'd prefer a more progressive candidate, but she makes the most sense.

That's because MAGA is a cult. Everyone not in MAGA already knows that about Trump. If you're asking why the media doesn't call it out? Because they're bad at their jobs.

I find it odd that I keep seeing people calling it one bad debate. If it was that, no one would be freaking out. People are freaking out because he was frail, confused, and had garbled responses. The fear is that the SOTU was the exception, not the debate.

Isn't that what Trump's lawyer argued? That he could face prosecution, but only if he had been removed from office?

I took the policy questions from a recent #YouGov #poll from both #Trump and #Biden without revealing whose policies they belong to and created a Google form. After you take the survey, you can click on "View Score" to see whether it was a Trump or Biden policy. forms.gle/vrcpo8r15XDi...

Both the “black jobs” remark and using palestinian as a slur are hopefully clarifying as to actual Trump’s ideology and worldview, in contrast with the imaginary trump some people have built up in their heads as the memory of his administration has receded

There are people who are voting for Trump because Biden allowed Roe to be overturned. Yes, some voters are incredibly foolish.

The reactionary assault on democratic multiracial pluralism and the modern state won’t stop because the people behind it have an epiphany they shouldn’t go *that* far. It will either *be stopped* or entrench white Christian patriarchal rule and unfettered domination by the wealthy and powerful.

"You wouldn't use air conditioning if you care about the environment" is just the new "You'd recycle your plastic if you cared about the environment." Both purposely default to individual responsibility as the cure when the real issue is industries & companies. It's. a. distraction. It always is.

I'm always promoting the LA County library system. It's massive. Their ebook and audiobook selections are huge and if you need a physical item, you can have it sent to your local library from one their 86 branches.

I'll like them. I like all of them. I think #1 is very good. That's a good one. I'm always saying that #1 is very very good. Joe Biden, he doesn't like the 10 Commandments. He wants to take them out of our schools. But I say that I like them.

I'm sure a lot of conservative young people come from conservative homes, but I know people who grew up in very conservative households -- even going to private school and still ended up liberal/progressive. Educated by Tara Westover is a great memoir from someone who grew up exactly like that.

The overall crime rate is nearly as low as it’s been in decades, but that hasn’t stopped officials from pushing draconian measures that will fuel mass incarceration and harm public safety. We have a roadmap for a better path forward, so why are we just repeating the mistakes of the past?
