My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus
If you're constantly saying that Dems are worse than Republicans, more dangerous than the contemporary GOP, and deserve to lose, then no, the DNC isn't going to consider you their base.
"Have fun losing." OK. They've already lost.
*Mamdani's strategy works.* Appeal to the base. Don't be an ass.
Conservatives think the state should protect them from the traumatizing experience of encountering people unlike them. For some reason this never came up in the heyday of “snowflake,” “trigger warning” or “safe space” discourse bsky.app/profile/kiss...
A refund system for businesses that paid tariffs which the U.S. Supreme Court ruled President Donald Trump imposed without the constitutional authority to do so is scheduled to launch Monday.

From Gaza to now Iran and Lebanon, Israel is expanding its testing ground for AI-enabled military technology in terrifying ways.

The collection covers three kinds of materials: The first is the official records from the lower court(s): the trial transcripts, evidence, and procedural documents that travel with each case up through the federal judiciary. The second is the briefs: the petitions, responses, amicus filings, and supporting appendices submitted by the litigants themselves and by interested third parties. These briefs are the raw material of American constitutional argument. They capture the perspectives of individuals, corporations, civil society organizations, and government agencies pressing their cases before the nation’s highest court. The third category is the opinions (for cases that are heard by the Supreme Court): the ultimate decisions reached by the highest court in the United States, demonstrating the logic and reasoning of the court.

6 images in sequence. First, hands holding lumps of coal with the text "LNG is 33% more harmful to the climate than coal." Secondly, an image of natural gas burning on a stovetop, with the text "Methane causes 80 times as much warming in 20 years as CO2 does over a thousand years." Thirdly, an image of the Earth on fire, with the text "Cutting methane is the best way to limit short term climate warming." Then an image of Canadian PM Mark Carney, with the text "Carney's budget created new subsidies for expanding methane heavy LNG." Followed by Carney again, with the text "His biggest proposed major projects are both LNG expansion." Finally, a waving American flag, with the text "Including a US owned and US operated LNG project controlled by a major Trump donor."
“Cutting methane is the single most important strategy to slow near-term warming. In fact, it’s the only strategy that has a chance of working. Cutting carbon dioxide is a marathon, but methane is a sprint.” - Durwood Zaelke, president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development. 🧵1/
New, from me: American taxpayers will spend billions of hours and hundreds of billions of dollars — not to pay their taxes, but to report them to the government.
Thank Trump, who killed Direct File, a free tax high-quality reporting tool that IRS had built. 🧵

Denny Carter on the dangers of techno-fascist accelerationist ideology and how it is shaping modern life:

Every single millennial and Gen Z Republican politician you will ever see in office will be like this or worse.
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
#WolffBites: When one empire (the US) declines, it often denies its decline yet also takes desperate risks to slow the decline. The unwanted result: faster decline and faster rise of the next empire (China).

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

$30 million per hour. That's an estimate of the windfall profit oil and gas majors have been making since the Iran War sent petroleum prices skyrocketing. Time to move to alternatives?

This must-read @wsj.com article (gift link) is overflowing with compelling evidence of Trump’s mental derangement and incapacity. But by not calling it that, it normalizes the dangerously abnormal. We are all in terrible danger as long as he remains in power. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...
wait till they figure out how much faster the airplane, a machine invented by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903, can traverse the same distance

The housing crisis is echoing across the nation.
Our BUILD plan is one of the most comprehensive to tackle it — making it easier, faster, and more effective to build homes here.
Meet Calvin Duncan. In Louisiana, they are trying to strip him of the post he was legally elected to in Orleans Parish. This man was jailed for a crime, exonerated, ran for office, and won. Now, the state is attempting to take that office away from him.
Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.
Palantir is a defense contractor. The government tells the contractor what stuff it needs, the contractor makes it. End of relationship.
If I were a senior government official and the hired help started rambling to me about a new global order like this, I would slowly walk away and call security.
I talked to @polphilpod.bsky.social about reactionary centrism as a demand to embrace some magic amount of intolerance in order to win—and why that's dangerous.
