Watching these guys abandon all the values they claimed to uphold to back a guy with Nazi tattoos who spends his time with antisemites has been depressing. Very reminiscent of 2016. Nothing matters as much as winning apparently.

Graham Platner isn’t just our best and only chance to beat Susan Collins, he’s a good, decent man who’s struggled and grown and is always trying to do better. I hope everyone with reservations takes a little time to get to know the real life version of him, not what the algorithm throws in our faces. Clearly, that’s what so many people in Maine have done - from all different walks of life and political persuasions.

@mattyglesias After Obama, normies and the right wanted a Franco. They settled on Trump. Trump was a social safety valve. Who we get next will be.....interesting. You have completely misread the context/perceived damage done.

The actual derangement is the people who don’t realize Obama is broadly popular, well-liked, and remembered fondly and was extremely popular on the day he left office as well. Not a perfect president or a flawless administration but better than all the other ones.

The reality of ballroom politics is 1.) Trump didn't go through the proper channels, and while that may not seem like a big deal, it's a reminder to voters that he only cares about himself, so it reinforces the idea that this is a vanity project. 2.) Now is not the time. The economy sucks 3.) Saying it's "privately funded" makes it look corrupt. Like, what are the funders getting for funding it?
Politics & Poll Tracker 📡@PollTracker2024

WaPo/ABC/Ipsos poll | 4/24-4/28 The Trump administration has torn down the East Wing of the White House to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom, paid for by $400 million in private donations from U.S. businesses and individuals.

Chamath not getting the joke here but being very mad that someone on the “other team” would do such a ridiculous thing is very funny and very on brand.

@JBSDC I know it predated it but it seems like the same group of people - ie they were already polarizing a faction of the left against SV.

I think the story of the SVB crash and rescue remains undercovered. I also have noticed a lot of folks seem to think it was a mistake to save SVB, which I regard as crazy but I guess when your politics is just about hating tech cutting off your nose to spite your face is fine.

Today's Social Radars is an exciting one: Ron Conway talks publicly for the first time about the frantic, behind-the-scenes efforts that prevented the failure of Silicon Valley Bank from triggering a Depression-style financial panic. pod.link/1677066062/epi…

@DrAlexJoffe That definitely isn't why Israel has become far less popular. And it's not just amongst progressives.

Alex Joffe@DrAlexJoffe·
This is precisely correct. The shift against Israel is a result of progressives rejecting shared identity, nationalism, self-defense, religion, and family as core values, which is why they also reject the US. blogs.timesofisrael.com/israel-and-the…

The big argument about which side is “worse” on political violence is whether the reaction of mainstream high-ranking GOP officials to Paul Pelosi was more appalling than the reaction of mainstream high-ranking GOP officials to the murder of Melissa Hortman.

This is just garbage analysis & extremism. Not helpful. You can do better & the world would benefit if u found an honest way to contribute to the AI conversation. 🤖📈🇺🇸
Bernie Sanders@BernieSanders

When the CEO of Verizon predicts AI & robotics could lead to 20%-30% unemployment within the next few years, we may want to take notice. AI is the most transformative technology in human history. We’re not prepared for it economically or socially. That must change. NOW.

@JeffreyASachs I don’t hosting an Israeli cabinet official and an attempted suicide bomber are equivalent situations. A better example would be if a group invited someone who had planned to blow up a mosque.

Good. Free speech and academic freedom require precisely this. It also requires we extend the same principle to faculty and students who invite IDF soldiers and Israeli cabinet officials. That's life when your university is in a liberal democracy.

@JBSDC I think the tone of the responses is actually low key good. I've found myself at times starting to get sucked into a conversation with gemini & there's nothing that snaps be out of it faster than the grandiose and cloying nature of the responses.

A truism of social media power users is that we’re all together all the time but often lonely due to our interactions being intermediated by screens. AI allows for a more personable interaction, 1-1, but it’s also cloying and not human to human/still intermediated by screen.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin@SenatorSlotkin·
Jewish people are the most targeted religious community in the United States, and anti-semitism is rising left, right and center. That's why today, I met community leaders from the @ADL from Temple Israel in Michigan and across the country. These leaders have survived violence and hate of the worst kind, up close and personal. And they were here to fight for more security funding through the non-profit security grant program. I was able to get Secretary Mullin to commit to investing more into this program earlier this year, but the job is not done. I appreciate these leaders making their voices heard, and working to protect Jewish communities from the threat of violence.

@DavefromTO No, the amounts are what the student government approved prior to the referendum, which—as Stanford students have been complaining about for years—are often lower than the amounts the groups requested. stanforddaily.com/2023/03/02/num…

NEW: Stanford is awarding five times as much money to a campus drag troupe as to an undergraduate veterans association. And it's awarding more money to the Muslim Student Union—$175,000—than every Christian student group combined. We obtained the school's activities budget.🧵

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”
