Clearly @Twitter doesn't care about my user preferences and are ok with overriding that promote the musings of its current owner, so this will likely be the last thing I post on this platform for a long time/ever.

If, at the end of the day, we all move to twitter the spiritual sequel and all of Elon's fan boys say on the OG twitter along with Elon, that would be an unambiguously good outcome.

With the exception of immediate post-911 W Bush, all presidents since HW Bush (?) have been very personally polarizing. Biden doesn’t inspire much passion either way.
Maybe Biden has cracked the code. Net approval is less important than people not feeling very strongly about you - either way. There are basically no Biden diehards, but nor are there apparently as many unequivocal Biden haters. Very different than the Obama era.

I mean... you can't say this shit isn't hilarious.
The chaos continues. Twitter pulls the plug on Twitter Blue, subscriptions and paid-for verification blue checkmark no longer available.

The thing about the Republican Party right now is that candidate quality is absolutely not dead, and a good number of voters perceive Trump's handpicked candidates as certifiably insane. It's a race to the bottom for who can act the craziest, and it reeks of contempt for voters.

Gonna go out on a limb and say after all the data is in, we won't see a big shift in black voters towards Trump like many predicted. Additionally, minus Florida, we might see Democrats do significantly better among Latinos than in 2020.

As to point 2 - some students of mine implied that if DeSantis beat Trump in the primary he'd be a favorite in the general. Yes, because we all know how Trump is magnanimous in defeat, not at all spiteful, and has the best interests of the Republican Party at heart /s

As to point 1 - unfortunately, unlike in 2010-2016, the GOP does not have Obamacare to symbolically repeal 50+ times, so it's unclear what agenda, if any, unites the caucus other than raw obstructionism.

I hope (assuming they eek it out in the House) Republicans are ready for the utter chaos of McCarthy trying to run his caucus with a 1-4 seat majority happening along side a Trump vs DeSantis Republican Civil War.

I thought Twitter was going to die a slow death but apparently that was giving Elon too much credit.

Has "triangulation" ever actually been a thing in Brazil? I'm honestly sick of western leftists projecting their own (western) view of politics onto Latin America, which robs us of a deeper understanding of the complex political dynamics there.
Lula did not win by triangulation. He won by mobilising a coalition of trade unions and social movements, united by the prospect of transformative change. My piece for @tribunemagazine. https://t.co/oc0dfuWc9D

It was nice while it lasted folks
Twitter’s current lords & peasants system for who has or doesn’t have a blue checkmark is bullshit. Power to the people! Blue for $8/month.

Legitimately had to double check that this wasn't a joke.

In the same way that Donald Trump continued to run against Hillary Clinton long after he defeated her and she was no longer a candidate, the Tories will continue to run after Corbyn despite him not even being a Labour MP anymore.
New email from Rishi Sunak to Tory members goes in on attack line that Keir Starmer is “just like Jeremy Corbyn”
