Yes @BuffaloBills is 4-1… but look a little deeper: they’re 30th in total defense, 28th in points per game, have a -4 turnover differential and are a top 10 most penalized team… this is not a sustainable winning model. Lots to clean up here

I agree with @davidsirota. After the midterms, the Dem party needs to go all in with their progressive left. As a NeverTrumper (temporary) Democrat, that’s not where I am, but I don’t matter. That’s where the energy is in the Dem party, that’s where the reform is, that’s where Dem righteous anger is. The corporate Dem establishment sucks. Give the progressives their shot. And don’t tell me progressives can’t win nationally. That’s what people said about Trump & MAGA. They were wrong. Dems should follow their energy. And it’s on the left. Fuck the Dem establishment. They’ve failed. As a former Tea Party guy, I can say that we (the Tea Party) succeeded because the Republican establishment failed.

And even if the organizations were good, we don't need state-sponsored multiculturalism

I need your help with something, even if it’s just a retweet:
I’m working on a story about the evolution of video games and the KEY to my story is a guy named Oscar Munoz who worked for Sega’s customer service dept in the early 1990s.
I’ve tried everything to find him and this is my last resort.

This is what the institutionalists are focusing their efforts on now: Disavowing #HasanPiker.
Not white Christian nationalists? Not the broligarchs? Not the AI overlords?
Nope, the guy encouraging young people to use their collective political power for good.
F*ck that noise.

I'm the new associate editor at @thebafflermag. They're paying me more and less than you could ever imagine. Help me earn my keep by pitching me at dahlia[at]thebaffler.com—or hire me to wash your windows once the industry collapses once and for all.

Congrats to @DonavanMI13 on the big #MI13 win!
From Detroit to Philly, people are hungry for change.
Donavan took on a self-funding multimillionaire & won by standing up for good union jobs, affordable housing & healthcare. And this is just the beginning.
On to November!

"Black politics is a strategic approach to holding power in conditions of formal and socioeconomic apartheid—not a demographic exercise in individual representation."
Since it is primary day for a few @DemSocialists candidates, I wanted to share my latest for @thenation which is about Black politics and DSA, and why Black voters should embrace the DSA’s insurgent politics.

Happy Election Day Michigan and Missouri!! Make sure to go out and vote for @DonavanMI13 and @CoriBush !
You deserve leaders in Congress who’ll fight for policies that will change your lives like Medicare for All, universal childcare, a higher minimum wage, affordable housing, and an end to the corporate price gouging that is crushing working-class people. That’s exactly who Donavan and Cori are.

Very interesting, thought-provoking piece here by @aconwrites. Give it a read. I’d like to have him on my show to discuss.👇
Check out my latest essay, “Don’t Call It The Civil War” for @nytopinion
“If a country unquestioningly adopts language that obscures its bloodiest crimes to absolve their worst perpetrators, how can we expect successive generations to remember the new assaults on democracy without deploying equally forgiving language?”

I freaking love Michigan! Thank you for all the hospitality. Quick message to my brothers and sisters in MI:
Here’s the truth about @abdulelsayed:
• Always had my back as a Black man
• Deep respect for Barack & Michelle Obama
• Knows feedback is a sign of respect
• Delivered free eyeglasses to 16k kids
• Canceled $50M in medical debt (on track for $700M)
• Fights money in politics & endless war
Haley Stevens is playing politricks, pandering, and tokenizing Black voters.
Vote for truth. Vote for politics that recognize your humanity. Vote Abdul El-Sayed.
