Bernie's speech where he is interrupted by BLM activists shows the true line in the sand in the Democratic base. Bernie treats them with a respect that is not reciprocated. Everything else is nonsense thrown out there to confuse people. Focus on the centers of Power, the money.

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.
The fastest way to turn into a NPC is to fill every moment of stillness with audio books, podcasts, CEO interviews, tweets, threads, and YouTube videos. The fastest way to turn into the Main Character is to spend more time in stillness and give yourself 4 hours to create.

incels are actually quite enviable in the sense that most of them believe wholeheartedly, in their bones, that the attention of women would fix almost every problem in their lives and create an existentially settling feeling of arrival

Moderating on crime and policing issues is, pretty plainly, very smart politics for the left.
NYC-DSA released a public statement criticizing Mayor Mamdani's proposal to increase NYPD headcount. NYC-DSA leadership has been extremely reluctant to publicly criticize Mamdani since he took office, so this is a very big deal. instagram.com/nycdsa/p/DZf0Zโ€ฆ

Zionists are nakedly using feminism to hit Platner, when their real grievance is that he isnโ€™t a Zionist. This is why Big Woman is a problem for progressive politics. It wonโ€™t be enough to take out Platner, but the problem remains. Big Woman is an effective anti-progressive strategy to neuter all manners of progressive politics.

I think the electorate has shown pretty clear limited tolerance for lefty positions on crime, illegal immigration, certain education policies (e.g. detracking, school discipline), middle-class taxes, and identity politics/wokespeak. But in other areas the left is much stronger.

I welcome the hatred of the Epstein class.

โ€œI will tell you, over Israel, over Epstein and over Platner, Ro Khanna has inspired deep ire,โ€ says @MarkHalperin about senior Democratsโ€™ antipathy toward the progressive congressman from Silicon Valley, whoโ€™s emerging as a Democratic presidential contender. โ€œIโ€™m not talking about casual ire,โ€ Mark says, โ€œbut deep ire on the part of many people I know. Are they gatekeepers to the nomination? Traditionally, many of them are โ€” political operatives, elected officials and donors โ€” but maybe Ro Khanna doesn't need the traditional folks.โ€ @RoKhanna @LarryOConnor @melissadderosa @2waytvapp

Liberals will say, โ€œWe donโ€™t support men who abuse women,โ€ yet they support Raphael Warnock, whose wife accused him of hitting her with his car after an argument. They say, โ€œWe donโ€™t support cheaters,โ€ but then invite Bill Clinton to speak at every convention. They say, โ€œWe believe all women,โ€ except when it comes to women who accused Joe Biden. The hypocrisy is astounding.

Getting all these โ€œvotesโ€ is another bad sign that heโ€™s a populist, not a normal Democrat like you or me #HealthSavingsAccounts
Fun Fact: Platner received more votes than any Primary Candidate in the history of the State of Maine. For the umpteenth time: Maine does not give a SOLITARY FUCK about opinions from right wing corporate media, DC establishment or those out of state. Youโ€™re wasting your breath.

NewsNation: Why are Bernie Sanders-endorsed candidates doing so well in 2026? Me: Because Bernie is winning the argument on economic populism. Neither party has offered a real solution while everyone's life is getting dramatically worse. People are giving up on the American dream โ€” and they're ready to try something different.

There's a chance that Graham Platner may actually be genuinely remorseful for his past behavior but there's zero chance that Susan Collins is remorseful for her past behavior. That much is true

137k votes for Platner is the highest ever in a midterm primary in Maine. No wonder Susan Collins is freaking out.

moderates don't do negative campaigning on policy/issues against 'more leftist candidates' because those policies are universally more popular than the policies that moderates run on - this is why the negative campaigns of moderates are always personal attacks when they do them
โ€œit blew up in their faceโ€ I mean thatโ€™s because the current mode of Democratic primaries is that the more leftist candidate is allowed to accuse their opponents of every ill from corruption to murder, while moderates are handicapped and not allowed to do negative campaigning

MIKA: Given your sexting, can you call for the release of the Epstein files and not be conflicted in any way? PLATNER: Yes, of course. I engaged in consensual romantic activities with adults at an earlier part of my life. That seems like a fairly normal thing most people do. Going to an island with billionaires to possibly assault children is a vastly, vastly different thing.
