  1. The successful effort to ensure #confirmationBias in all information relays has brought us here, to this point of patriarchal whitechristian-nationalist tyranny.

    > The odds of a conservative man seeing something on social media that contradicts his priors is roughly the same as of King Charles abdicating and becoming a roadie for a heavy metal band.

  2. Do the kids reckon this budget created any winners?
    By Jacob Greber

    As debate over the federal government's budget tax hit on wealth and assets continues to reverberate, one can't help but wonder how it's going down among the gen Zs and millennials it's designed to impress.

  7. NOT-so-fun Fact: Less than half of states (21) + D.C. allow 17YOs to vote in Primaries if they turn 18 before or on the General Election. By rights, they SHOULD have a say in who reaches the general ballot they vote on. This should be allowed in ALL 50 states.

  8. Historically, because of geographic self-sorting and district drawing, Democrats typically need to win the national popular vote by roughly 3 to 4 points just to break even in the House. A sustained +11 margin breaks right through that structural deficit #midterms #USElections🧵 1/3

  9. So my local Board of Elections was kind enough to send me a postcard informing me that there were no non-partisan elections coming up next month for the primary, and therefore I wouldn't need to come to the polls, as I can't vote in them.

    In other words, I'm in a closed primary state, where only the Democrats vote for their ilk, the Fasc^H^H^H^HRepublicans vote for theirs, and the winners of each go on to meet each other in the General in November. In other words, the playoffs, but for politics.

    Which is how it should be, really, if parties are to mean anything. Of course, I do not vote like seemingly everyone else around me votes - they treat it like it's Survivor, apparently - so several states have, to my feelings, weirder ways of doing it. As an example, I think California has something called the "jungle primary" where literally everyone gets on the same ballot and they take the top two for a runoff, which is so mindbogglingly stupid that the person responsible should be beaten with a stick.

    Of course, I also know about election methods, and wish that we could have Mixed Member Proportional for the legislature and maybe a Condorcet for single member seats (I'd accept AV or STV), but I'm in such a vanishingly small minority in that respect - as I discovered during my political career - that I soon realized that staying quiet about things was for the best. (I'm certainly not going to join up with the Republican or Democratic Parties for what should be obvious reasons.)

    Side note: There's also Delegative, or "Liquid" Democracy, which I really find innovative, and we have the technology to pull it off, but again, we'd need to come to some sort of understanding about what #democracy is actually designed to do, and considering we're still having the "debate" about the Electoral Fucking College, I have no illusions of anything guided by a modicum of reason penetrating into the public consciousness in the foreseeable future.

  10. Selma Rejects Jim Crow 2.0

    joycevance.substack.com/p/selm

    > Protest is brewing again in Selma. In the wake of Callais [the recent decision by Samuel Alito & John Roberts, powerful white-nationalist masters of the current US political legal system which completed the dismantlement of the Voting Rights Act foundational to the initiative of the last six decades to bring democracy to the US] and the overt gerrymandering and dilution of the Black vote that the Supreme Court now says is legal, protestors marched today.
