I'd already been thinking of writing a post about how the Median Voter Theorem is what Thi Nguyen calls (fantastic coinage) a 'clarity trap.'
This @bostonreview.bsky.social piece by @adambonica.bsky.social and @jakemgrumbach.bsky.social is an absolute must-read, as are many of the responses to it.
Spread this one far and wide.

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website.
Gov. Landry, who leads one of the states in the nation with the highest murder rate, is on television chiding Minnesota, one of the states with the lowest murder rates.

This is what happened in our neighborhood yesterday. ICE snatched a human being off of our streets, roughed them up badly, and then pepper sprayed legal observers as they documented it all. This is a daily occurrence happening all throughout Minnesota right now.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

Worth reposting my first Blue Sky statement ever.
Being a Cleveland sports fan my whole life has prepared me for being a Democrat. My hopes and dreams would not know what to do if they weren’t routinely dashed.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

My dog died suddenly and unexpectedly after an incident at the dog sitter’s house. He was my soul mate and I can’t bear to think too deeply about this loss or the stress he felt on his last day. Oscar Pie, you will forever be my baby dog. Mommy loved you so much.

INTERVIEWER: As you know, we are a nation beset by myriad horrors. What are you doing to fight back?
SCHUMER: I have been reaching out to the horrors, many of which are friends, in hopes of working together on this for all Americans. You demand we descend into hell? Well ok, but let's do it right.

Soooo a gunman goes into the headquarters of Blackstone and kills the head of the real estate investment arm and we are to believe he killed that woman by accident, and that meant to kill someone at the NFL offices instead. I mean talk about a coincidence.

1: Every accusation is a confession. No exceptions.
2: There is always more, and it's always worse.

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.
