If Kamala has a problem with what's happening now, she could say so

This essay is perfect. The career mindset, the total lack of self-reflection, the northern Virginia landscape of defense industry office parks and job fairs. The lower rungs of the cop state, an empire of Observe and Report. nplusonemag.com/online-only/on…

It is really incredible how badly the party has fared as opposition. Trump is wildly unpopular but the Democrats even more so because they have no vision and no agenda.

This is important testimony that cuts through all the bluster from the Israeli government and the American contractors

MSM is insanely framing Columbia’s capitulation and Gaza mass starvation as separate stories. Defenders of Israel smeared student movement protesting Israel’s extermination of Palestinians as antisemitic precisely to protect bipartisan US support for what you’re seeing right now.

It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.

the Biden Administration knew in December a famine was underway in Gaza. they tried to alter a report on it, then ordered it deleted from the web when the authors wouldn't change it. they knew Gazans would start dying of starvation in January but thought it made them look bad.

🚨 🚨🚨 “Nearly one in three people are going multiple days without eating, according to the United Nations” “In a video filmed Tuesday inside Nasser Hospital in southern Gaza, families fretted over babies with distended bellies and tiny fists that they clenched as they cried.”…

Fully agree Public power can deliver at scale in a way that the derisking state can't and, by providing clear, direct material benefits to people, is also more politically durable

Smart piece as always by @robinsonmeyer on where the politics of energy are headed. This is where I am—public power (that actually builds) needs to be a central piece of our energy policy next time around.

A powerful plea for solidarity from the workers of Gaza to unions and working people around the world.

If the (wildly popular) governor of Kentucky can say this about trans kids with his whole chest then what excuse does the (wildly unpopular) governor of California have?

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by a trio of design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics. 1/x

.@Columbia is unsafe for international students and, I would say, all non-citizens. Will Columbia also call ICE on its international and green card holding faculty?
