This is a massive indictment of blue state cities. You cannot call yourself a city who cares about the lower and middle class when you can’t even provide homes for them to live in. Instead, they actively prevent those homes from being built through webs of red-tape and zoning.

As people try to critique Biden’s economic agenda, they should keep this graphic in mind. Incumbents everywhere suffered because of a global inflation surge. Democrats held up better than any of them in part because economic performance here was better than anywhere else.

הגיע הזמן לדבר על זה שהצבא כבר מיישם את התכנית לגירוש ולטיהור אתני של צפון רצועת עזה. המטרה: התנחלויות ישראליות בעזה. האמצעים: הרעבה המונית, הרג המוני, הפצצות. מישהו חושב שזה יחזיר את החטופים או יביא לנו ביטחון?

Where did Trump voters get their news? 📰 Yes, there's social and partisan sites, but there is another influential strategy that isn't getting enough attention: Manipulated, pay-to-play and all out fake news sites I've been covering a mix of those for years. Here's a primer 🧵

I think we - including me - are going to be tearing down Democratic policy, trends, comms, etc. for months to figure out what happened but after sleeping on it here are ten thoughts (that might not be true): 1) Democratic failures in urban governance coming to roost

I don't want to shit on this person, but this is not the message I would hope people take from the book. It's sort of the opposite: The more visionary "nuts" who were purged had a more expansive vision of the country that went beyond winning or losing a single election

It’s about time the Democratic Party come to terms with the fact that a vast majority of the American public lives in a media environment — from Fox to Twitter to podcasts — that functions as a Republican propaganda machine. Ignoring this reality is no longer a tenable solution.


Masterful.

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

Happy Election Day, Murica. We still have no fucking clue what the business relationship between Donald Trump and the Saudis is. Somehow, the campaign press thought Joe Biden's stutter was far more important.

“We’re friends & we’re allies… we have shared values.” In No Other Land, Palestinian & Israeli filmmakers Basel Adra & @yuval_abraham examine life in the West Bank & the demolition of Palestinian homes. “We have to end this occupation,” argues Abraham. “It’s been way too long.”

Fat Joe: I got to explain to you...I am a sucker for a good laugh. I'm the guy they throw out the movie theater because the movie's too funny and I'm making too much noise. I'm the guy that you can roast me in the comedy club and I will laugh with you all the way out. The other…
