  "The Left Is Rising, So Centrist Dems Are Cynically Woke Again "The Democratic establishment said it was getting rid of the grating, cynical style of wokeness it blamed for its 2024 loss to Donald Trump.

Its greatest impacts come from its connections to the larger atmosphere, such as the trade winds and upper atmospheric winds, but those teleconnections can be hard to predict. Small differences in conditions such as ocean temperatures or the trade winds can alter what happens later....

  What is the #resistance governing agenda? - by Dan Froomkin "Over the last several months, I’ve grown increasingly interested in what a resistance governing agenda would look like – first in Congress, if Democrats win one or both chambers in November, and then across all three branches, if Trumpism is rejected by the voters in 2028. So I’m thinking about adding a new focus to this newsletter: examining what those two agendas might look like, by aggregating and analyzing the latest ideas s...

Her new book, Escape from Capitalism, argues that many of the problems that we see as inevitable - #poverty, #unemployment, #inflation - are built into the system and shored up by models and...
