Boomer cultural dominance is so bad that you can watch your own son drop 45 to win the NBA Finals and immediately start talking about some guy from the 90s

Incredible read. Trump’s Amazon settlement deserves as much attention as the Ticketmaster and IRS settlements — an open-and-shut case brought by the agency tasked with protecting labor rights, sabotaged to aid Trump’s corporate allies.
New @BW feature: A landmark case was unearthing new revelations about Amazon's intimate, intensive regulation of drivers it claims aren't its employees. Then Trump put Amazon's former lawyer in charge bloomberg.com/news/features/…
Based on 1000s of pages of records and 50 interviews

Gotta wonder how @TeamsterSOB, @TeamsterRnF, and their allies feel about the candidate O’Brien propped up torpedoing the Teamsters’ most significant new organizing priority and throwing away years of work in the courts by the Teamsters’ attorneys

is anyone actually supposed to believe that people who showed up at the israel day parade are this shocked and appalled to encounter a senior member of the israeli cabinet? eliyahu was there too and advocated for dropping nukes on gaza — like where are they suggesting the line is

the median democrat voter’s position rn is “fuck israel.” the median dem elected officials’ position is unconditional military support and mild criticism of all of the people leading it, the war they roped us into, and maybe the settlements. can’t imagine why no one buys it

This is such a good piece. Feels impossible to disagree with its assessment of the right’s strategy re: 2028. I’m sure it’ll be argued that the Left/labor isn’t ready to meet the moment as laid out here, but the only alternative to getting ready fast is obvious and dire.

The coup is coming. We cannot protect decaying institutions that are being weaponized against us. Revisiting the failures of 2021, T.E. Moon (@TEMoon333) notes that the nationalist right has spent years preparing for 2029. The next January 6th is coming, and it will not be a chaotic riot, but a calculated, institutional steal.
While the liberal establishment begs captured courts for a remedy, the Left must reorient its entire psychological posture. We need an offensive insurgency—a hostile takeover of the Democratic ticket, followed by the state. Audacity, more audacity, and always audacity.

This part is crucial. We can’t allow the grassroots backlash to right-wing redistricting, the hollowing of the VRA, and antidemocratic FedSoc judicial interventionism to be subverted by “back to normal” liberalism. Nobody will fight for a system they had no faith in before Jan. 6

It’s wild how booing AI has completely broken some commencement speakers. They’ve gone from, “You can do anything if you put your mind to it” to “Shut up and eat shit, fuckers. Being here is supposed to make ME feel good, not you.”

this morning I’ve seen that Hanania thinks Graham Platner is a loser for making $60K but also that the globe emoji crowd thinks a union train operator making six figures is a grave injustice, it would be easier if the centrists all told us exactly what our salaries should be
What's this? YIMBYs being against the LIRR strike because they're anti-organised labour? Well I never 🫨

total shocker that an ideology that paints more than half of americans as “fail[ures] at life” is losing purchase in our politics

Graham Platner says he and his wife make $60K a year combined.
Isn't this an indication you've failed at life? Why would this be something you brag about?

Honestly the only persuasive “prediction markets aren’t gambling” argument I’ve heard is that they take advantage of consumers in ways sportsbook legally could never lol. Wild seeing a founder of DraftKings as the voice of reason

Cornell's President drove his car into students, running over one student's foot.
Cornell Board of Trustees' findings:
UPDATE: Despite a growing demand across Cornell's campus for President Kotlikoff's resignation, the Board of Trustees concluded their investigation and cleared Kotlikoff of any wrongdoing.
Students for a Democratic Cornell are demanding an independent investigation.

Cornell students are not buying the trustees’ “independent investigation”
May 15
Update: Cornell Trustees have completed their investigation into Cornell’s President, finding him innocent, and have concluded that Cornell police were independent in their investigation of their boss. Kotlikoff is kindly not retaliating against the students he hit with his car.
