This is like 90% of American politics now, rich assholes who have no interest in progressive outcomes pretending progressive policies aren’t progressive enough.

I'm so out of patience with this kind of mockery. Yes, progressive language is jargon-y and occasionally irritating. You know how long ago that started? Roughly the dawn of time. So be irritated privately. But whining about it is like discrediting a picket sign because you hate the font.

Right-wing Translation Guide:
"western civilization" = white people
"meritocracy" = white people get everything
"common sense" = stuff white people think
"farmers" = white landowners
"working class" = white people who pay taxes
"job creators" = white people who don't pay taxes

The version of "western civilization" that MAGA keeps invoking is highly selective and simply discards important inheritances, from international human rights law to limits on war to cosmopolitanism to the Enlightenment. (cc @frankfukuyama.bsky.social)
Hegseth imagines himself defending "Western civilization." But the West has also made important contributions to the idea that there are moral limits on what we can do in war, from Cicero through Augustine, Grotius, Kant and more. He discards this inheritance. 6/

Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.
It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.
Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.
Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

Apart from the fact the leader of the right mocked Reiner, one small difference is that Reiner's day job was making movies that people loved, while Kirk's starting point was creating enemies list of professors to be fired or harassed. These are not the same things.

how many times do we have to say that poverty is a systems failure, and not an individual one?

Still thinking about Newsom. For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

“I’m different, I’m a rebel. I’m an outsider,” I say to the credulous journalist before repeating verbatim the beliefs and worldview of the president of the United States and every person with money and power in the world right now.

The problem with pieces like this, which are countless, is the prevailing media assumption that left-of-center Americans need constant corrective instruction about how to be in and engage with the world, whereas right-of-center Americans are simply to be observed in awe, like rainbows or mountains.
Opinion - The problem with Bluesky: It won’t broaden our horizons: In the wake of Donald Trump’s election win, the social-media platform has enjoyed a surge of new users looking for an alternative to Elon Musk’s X. But will it be useful, if it just creates an echo chamber for the left?

I'm a fan of Dems promoting their economic proposals but let's not kid ourselves: the claim that voters prioritize good economic policy fails to explain how Trump won with an economic platform of gibberish, lies, and bad ideas. Voters were presented a bucket of dog vomit and said "looks delicious."
Opinion | Democrats Could Have Won. Our Excuses Mask a Devastating Reality.
Many young voters didn’t perceive the tangible impact of their 2020 support for Joe Biden, which eroded their faith in the Democratic Party.
