Depends on how quickly you can execute your trades, i suppose.

this is just a warmed over david duke speech from 1990

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university's report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American Dream of college.

That Yale report on what's wrong with U.S. college saw some trees (high cost, unfair admission, etc.) but missed the forest: the 60-year right-wing crusade to undermine higher ed, from slashing budgets to stifling speech

Everyone mentioning Columbia in the comments…omg. I had zero conscious memory of that even though I was in college when it happened. I googled the crew. Now I am newly traumatized. Challenger has always loomed large but apparently my brain just refused to acknowledge the other one

Anyway I wonder if politicians are statistically more likely to be rapists, whether the sort of sociopathy that leads to politics is characteristic or rapists, or just more likely to be detected/reported

the 25th amendment is a ludicrous nonstarter and they're right to say so.

the refusal to pursue impeachment because it distracts from "costs and corruption" is such consultant brained loser bullshit. jfc.

UW graduate student deported through SEA as protesters demand answers A union representing University of Washington graduate student workers says Kennedy Orwa’s student visa was rescinded without explanation.

Our PhD student Kennedy Orwa, who studies applications of AI to health care, was hastily deported today to Kenya along with his 13-year-old son without opportunity to speak to legal counsel.

King 5 reports that he held a valid visa that was rescinded without explanation.

Youre regional provincialism is going to be very important trying to recapture the federal government.
It worked out great for Shays, et al.

Youths, may I recommend you look up how the subprime mortgage crisis happened? Just, you know, for science

MA 1&2 versus AL 2&7 This comparison is one of the clearest ways to see the "Two Americas." When we look at voter turnout from the 2024 election, we see a massive gap between the highly engaged "Red Belt" of Massachusetts...

Alabama could move in the Dems favor with organizing;MA, not so much:

Draw north-south lines that capture the population numbers for a district. MA-2 would be a battleground.
The energy for regional sectarianism in replies illuminates a problem for Democrats. The 22% of voters in MA-1&2 are all in the West from… Framing-ham.

Without gerrymandering, Dist 2 could be drawn Republican.
Presuming 1/3 of MA pop lives in Dist 1,2,3, and less than 10% of MA live in rural areas, Bouie can be right, but comparison with AL (40% rural) is fruitless.

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

A central problem in this thread of ideas is that people in "Western MA" think they are distinct form "Central MA".
Presuming that 30% of MA res are in Cong Dist 1, 2, 3 and only 4- 10% live in "rural" areas statewide (per wikipedia), direct comparison with Alabama (40% rural) is fruitless.

I don't usually count up, but the result would be 21 states:
VA, WV*, MD, ME, SC, VT, NC, PA, GA, RI, which are public charges, but chartered with confederation. (*Benefit of loyalty to Union).
CA, CO, NE, WA, NH, IL, ND, NY, MA, NJ, CT, are all paying their way.
Reparations for HI!

A public charge states receives more federal dollars than it contributes to the federal budget.

Of 15 present states part of the Louisiana purchase, NE and ND are currently pulling their own weight. The rest don't deserve Electors or Senators.

I judge you by the words I read on this text based platform.
I took Bouie's point to be that the D party should focus on what matters to voters outside the polarization, and that the rural urban division is more meaningful than 'coastal elite' versus 'heartland.'

you focus on a polarized race, framed by both sides as good vs. evil. A campaign like that is undesirable.
In economics, environment, education, transportation, law enforcement, and opportunity, yes, rural voters have more in common with each other than with high density urban voters.

Pray tell, you ask? Why that phrase?
I am unaware of an 1842 conference. My recollection of reading about 1848 is that black participation was limited to Frederick Douglass who was unsuccessful in convincing the Quaker ladies that “universal suffrage” ought to include black men and women, too.

Which, though true, made me think about the racism in Seneca Falls.

Not sure what this normies stuff is about but if you haven't noticed nice ladies do a lot of the activist work in this country and have since the abolitionist movement, you maybe should.

“Fear of a Black Planet” hit me like Sgt Pepper’s and Pet Sounds, but not until around 2015.

Statewide, and in the towns you named, D numbers declined in 2024.

83% participation of 805 voters. Biden won Massachusetts by 33 points statewide in 2020; Harris won by 25.
Yes on eliminating MCAS as a graduation requirement (462–191), no on legalizing psychedelics (375–267), and no on the tipped worker minimum wage increase (455–187)

The proposal i have made is to devolve the public charge states chartered after 1793 to territories, no Senators, no Electors, one shadow in Congress.
Reunify Louisiana.
At most one Dakota.
