Every generation of leftists seems to just hate whatever new thing most represents capitalism and is making life better. Then they forget and move on to the next one. First they obsessed over Walmart. Its crime was a wider range of goods and lower prices. Then Amazon was the issue, because it also gave low prices but also brought unimagined variety and convenience. One click order to get anything in the world overnight, sane people would've been singing its praises, but they specifically targeted them. Now it's data centers, the main engine of economic growth. Populist rightoids are joining them. Good thing about the American system is that it's too deadlocked and too subject to special interest influence to wipe out whatever is new. So data centers will make life better, and then they'll hate the next thing.

@davidaxelrod Agree. Now look at all the small-business owners who’ve had to close because of over-regulation, agency heavy-handedness, etc.

There are many sterile stories about the farm crisis, and what tariffs and war have done to exacerbate it. If you read one story on the subject, it should be this one, about the final days of a multi-generational family farm. It'll rip your heart out. nytimes.com/2026/05/03/us/… via @NYTimes

The responses to this are a good reminder that a lot of anti-immigrant keyboard warriors have no idea what the law says. “He had 20 years to become a citizen!” No. Thanks to country of origin caps, the wait time for Indians can be over *100 years*—just to get a green card. Many die waiting in line. We tell people seeking the American Dream to come here “the right way,” and then we punish them for doing so.

“There is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.” — Milton Friedman

When a self-proclaimed civil rights organization puts Ayaan Hirsi Ali, of all people, on a "hate watch" list, you know it has been twisted into a grotesque hate group itself. But this was only a sample of its perversions. Ayaan: The SPLC Targeted Me. Now Its Reckoning Has Come. thefp.com/p/ayaan-hirsi-…

Back in 1986, Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan observed that America had recently, "become the first society in history in which a person is more likely to be poor if young rather than old.”

Indians are even coming for @NickJFuentes' job. No one is safe.

And while I’m at it, Citizens United prevents the government from banning movies, books, and pamphlets that criticize (or support) a candidate for federal office. So all yall wanting to “overturn CU” either don’t know what the case was about or scare the hell out it me.

There is a reason both "Vegetarianism is white supremacy" and "100 companies do most pollution so individual efforts are useless" takes to viral all the time They absolve you of the need to do anything to maintain moral superiority

Here’s Mayor Pete announcing the Biden administration’s decision to fight the Jet Blue and Spirit merger so they could protect consumers and ensure low fares. Now the airline doesn’t exist and passengers are stranded across the country.

On 2 May 1944, the first two trains with Jews deported from Hungary arrived at the Auschwitz camp: 1,800 people from Kistarcsa camp next to Budapest and 2,000 people from Topolya. They arrived at the so-called Alte Judenrampe between Auschwitz and Birkenau camps. After the selection, 486 men and 616 women were registered in the camp. 2,698 people were murdered in the gas chambers. The camp administration learned that Auschwitz was not ready to accept the planned huge deportations. They decided to stop transports until the construction of a railway ramp inside the Birkenau camp was completed and other ‘technical’ difficulties were solved. Then they decided, among other things, to re-open a provisional gas chamber, the so-called "little white house", and to dig pits for burning of bodies. The main phase of deportations of Jews from Hungary began on 14 May.

'the inexpensive car is already dead in the U.S., as there are only four cars available in the U.S. for under $25,000 right now, and three of them will potentially be pulled from the market by year's end.' Tariffs play a role, and it's a bad one. jalopnik.com/2159694/americ…

Here's what a federal judge wrote in 2024 when he blocked a Spirit Airlines merger with JetBlue: fingfx.thomsonreuters.com/gfx/legaldocs/…

If there's one solution to partisan gerrymandering that both parties generally agree to, it's that the House should be "uncapped" and expanded to reflect today's population, not 1911. Gerrymandering will still happen but not as effectively bc local pop shifts are more common.

Hayek explains why social justice is a meaningless term: “Justice is an attribute of individual action. I can be just or unjust towards my fellow men.” “But the conception of a social justice—to expect a just result from an impersonal process which nobody can control—is meaningless and completely impossible.”

So Lina Khan blocked the merger with Jet Blue because she said the loss of an airline would hurt consumers. The end result: not only the loss of an airline but mass unemployment. A socialism story.

@SenWarren @JetBlue @SpiritAirlines @JusticeATR @USDOT Congratulations! nbcnews.com/business/consu…

I've warned for months that a @JetBlue-@SpiritAirlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. @JusticeATR and @USDOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for flyers! apnews.com/article/jetblu…
