Want to know more about how gun stores fuel cartel violence in Mexico, fentanyl addiction in the US, and migrations to the border but don't have the time for a 12,000+ word investigation? Here's the TL;DR version w/ @ConversationUS

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

There is still widespread denial about this among Democrats, a lot of talk about how Trump's base is wealthy contractors, car dealers etc. Yes, many of Trump's most ardent supporters are of that type. But where he *expanded* the GOP base, where Democrats lost support, was lower
In the 20th century, poor whites voted to the left of rich ones. But that changed in 2016. And by 2024, the relationship between income and Republicanism had inverted completely: The more money a white voter made, the more likely they were to back Harris https://t.co/qPVTXPsgFF

I've always been pretty lib and remain lib! Voted for Harris. But I'm an actual liberal and I'm not a partisan. Over the past several years progressives have both abandoned some core tenets of liberalism, exercised bad judgment and engaged in increasingly poor epistemic habits.
Ok now explain why you turned conservative during the same period, you weren't affected by any of these things: you don't have kids, you already went to college, you had a job the whole time, and you're rich

not only is it weird for NYT to use a guy who dropped out of Mizzou after 1 year (& who lists "Windows" as a skill) as an example of H-1B resentment. But the NYT already quoted this guy in a different article last month. Can't you find other people to interview on this hot topic?
“Take Mitchell Boone, a 27-year-old Trump supporter. Five years after leaving a computer science program at the University of Missouri, and what he says are over 1,000 job applications later, Mr. Boone claims he has landed just a single job interview. Today, he says he keeps

Sen. Ted Cruz championed a bill to regulate pornographic deepfakes. But he's not keen on passing a law to regulate political deepfakes, citing free speech. He also told me that he thinks Andrew Cuomo's AI videos skewering Zohran Mamdani have been effective.

.@MikeNellis has 1.3 million subscribers. One of the largest accounts on Substack. I know because I get his emails. But there’s just one problem — I never subscribed. So I looked into it... and I think what’s going on here is a symptom of something bigger. 🧵

This is depressing. "Men who watch television now spend 7 hours doing so for every hour they spend hanging out with another person outside the house." "The average female pet owner spends more time with her pet than all humans put together." https://t.co/UjzVBGEX4E

Because the NYT wants you to know only the history it deems appropriate. It’s right on the front page -“All the News That’s Fit to Print”
You know what else offers a glimpse? New York City! From 1934-46 and again from 1990-94, when the mayor was a socialist. LaGuardia is the most celebrated mayor NYC has ever had! Why is everyone so dumb about this?
