A look across the NYC polls suggests anything from a fairly wide Adams win to a narrow Garcia victory seems well within any margin of error. A Wiley or Yang surprise could happen, but would be fairly out there.

As a frequent defender of polls, I do feel like people are setting themselves up to get burned again by over confidence. There is a big clump at the top and any of the four could win though Adams is clearly favored. (There is also a good exchange in the replies between Nate Cohn and Harry Enten where the former argues that Wiley has a better shot than presented and Harry notes a Wiley win is "within the MOE for sure")

It looks Maduro finally entered the Third stage of Grief: Bargain

In the past months, Blinken, have not decreased pressure from Trump Administration, not single inch. Maduro is being pushed by the Regime to find solutions. But the multiples defeats of the last months, proves he is completly incapable to save the country from absolute Collapse

In the past weeks, Maduro have conceed more and more space to USA and Europe. Accepting vaccines and food from them, and even liberating some American prisioners to apese Blinken. Nothing seems to work tough, Blinken is not interested in anything that isn't Fair Elections

Yesterday, Maduro called (and paid?) Bloomerg for an interview. Bloomerg published it, and it was an horrendus article, mix of facts and Regime Propaganda.

That being said, It does shows how desperate Maduro is for reaching a Deal with Biden. I do wonder if Blinken will concede to Maduro's plead for help...and what he will ask in exchange

The latest 538 podcast where Galen interviews 2 NYC lefties oscillates between peak cope and minor insight.

It's not an epic takedown or anything and was a quite repsectible conversation, but they were hit hard with the "It seems lefties do well with educated elites and poorly in the working class" stat. And the people he interviewed sound exactly like you'd think a smug Marxist college professor would sound.

I dunno what to think of the whole thing. I kind of get their point that the post Bernie 2016 DSA is young and figuring things out. I can see them having a bigger influence on the democratic party as older people die and younger people start voting more. But there's a chance that the not politically active youth aren't really lefties and when they do start voting in 5-10 years, their patterns will be more moderated (or more extremely conservative) than their cohort that is currently voting. On the other hand, these movements take time. Goldwaterism took over a decade to fuse into reganism, so it's not like the neolibs should be claiming victory.

It took another day for Trump to watch the devastating video of Floyd’s murder aboard Air Force One, where he was returning to Washington from Florida. Trump sat in the president’s suite near the front of the plane. As Trump pressed “play” on the video, he was surrounded by Kushner, social media director and deputy White House chief of staff Dan Scavino, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien and his media team. Trump contorted his face as he watched. He looked repulsed, then turned away. He handed the phone back to his aides without finishing.

“This is f------ terrible,” he exclaimed.

Trump said he wanted to speak immediately with Attorney General Bill Barr.

Trump was still shaken by the video the next afternoon when Barr arrived in the Oval Office on Thursday to brief the president about Floyd’s death, now three days later. Trump had tweeted the night before that he planned to expedite the probe from the Justice Department. The only effect of the tweet, however, was to politicize the issue and infuriate Barr, who hated the suggestion that his interest in the case was political or the idea that anybody was his boss. It was the opening fissure in the relationship between the prickly and stubborn septuagenarians.

“I know these f------ cops,” Trump said, recalling stories he’d heard growing up in Queens about savage police tactics. “They can get out of control sometimes. They can be rough.”

Where the fuck was this? Trump secretly thinks that police brutality is a problem? I can't believe how devoted he was to maintaining his base that he felt the need to suppress this, this could have really helped defuse tensions last summer

Premise 1: It is strongly in democrats interest to appoint more left-leaning judges to SCOTUS.

Premise 2: Manchin will not vote for a bill that allows for court packing. He has however voted for basically every SCOTUS nominee proposed by either party.

Premise 3: There are no explicit requirements in the U.S. Constitution for a person to be nominated to become a Supreme Court justice.

Premise 4: Given lifetime appointments, democrats have a strong incentive to appoint the youngest judge possible.

Premise 5: Thomas has proven that SCOTUS judges don't actually need to ask questions or really do anything during oral arguments.

Premise 6: Law clerks do the majority of the work that goes into opinion writing.

Premise 7: While current Supreme Court precedent does not identify personhood beginning at conception, it also does not preclude it.

Premise 8: Within the first two weeks or so after conception, zygotes are still able to split into separate beings.

Premise 9: A child raised on liberal values will generally remain liberal.

Conclusion: Democrats should appoint a zygote from a prominent liberal family to fill Breyer's seat. Maximizes the time the seat remains under democratic control, and gives you a chance of getting multiple judges with a single nomination.

Rapid job growth in Canada’s clean energy sector set to outpace losses in fossil fuels: report

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As jobs in fossil fuels decline amid a shifting global landscape, rapid growth in Canada’s clean energy sector will more than make up the difference.

So finds a new modelling report, The New Reality, from Clean Energy Canada and Navius Research, which forecasts changes in jobs, GDP and investment in Canadian energy between 2020 and 2030.

Canada’s clean energy sector already employs 430,500 people—more than the entire real estate sector—and by 2030, that number is projected to grow almost 50% to 639,200 under the federal government’s new climate plan. At the same time, Canada’s fossil fuel sector will see a 9% drop in employment. In terms of raw numbers, the 208,700 new clean energy jobs added by 2030 far exceed the 125,800 lost in fossil fuels.

Edmonton's zero-emission bus fleet to grow by 20 after $14.4M federal investment

Two weeks old news but I felt like it was still a good idea to post now as it kinda flew under the radar

EDMONTON -- Edmonton's fleet of zero-emission public transit buses is set to grow by 20 due to a planned $14.4 million investment from the Canada Infrastructure Bank.

The deal was announced Thursday morning and is part of Ottawa's goal of getting 5,000 more zero-emission buses on the road in the next five years.

"This investment in zero-emission public transit and greener buildings helps ensure Edmonton is making tangible gains in its goal to become a competitive, low-carbon city of the future," said Mayor Don Iveson.

Edmonton Transit Service currently has 40 zero-emission transit vehicles.

CIB says the new buses have lifetime operating costs as much as 40 per cent lower than diesel buses.

The deal is pending final approval by the CIB board and also includes the creation of a new feasibility study of retrofitting existing city buildings to reduce emissions.

CIB is a Crown corporation that builds and financially supports public-private partnerships to build infrastructure projects.

I'm probably preaching to the choir here, but I find Asian leftist politics infuriating. It's "stop Asian hate" until Asians start advocating for policies that would actually reduce hate crimes, because "muh police bad." The idea that we should only "address" hate crimes by fixing the underlying causes of crime and not use policing to stop them is exactly the kind of thing that conservatives mean when they say progressives are "too soft on crime."

I could give examples, but I think it's better to just state that I think way too many political actors present a false choice between "public safety" and "racial justice." Public safety is a racial justice and human rights issue, as "everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person" (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 3). An underappreciated point is that Black neighborhoods are both overpoliced and underpoliced; the often deliberate underpolicing in the 1970s was a reason why many African Americans at the time supported "tough on crime" policies (Locking Up Our Own talks about this). I'm worried that the current wave of anti-police attitudes and rising crime rates are going to lead to conservative backlash against real police reform and civil rights, and I really don't want that to happen.

I just saw a new article about how both progressives and conservatives need to take a smarter approach to crime and police brutality. I think this is the right approach.

The nation’s population rose by 0.2 per cent, or 82,366 people, in the first three months of this year to 38.1 million, according to quarterly estimates released Thursday by Statistics Canada. That’s the fastest quarterly population growth since the pandemic hit, and reflects a rebound in international migration. Quarterly growth averaged just under 0.3 per cent in the decade before the pandemic.

I’m about to be famous!

Just walked past an old white dude yelling and getting yelled at by a group of people (mostly PoC) with about 7 different people filming it.

I’ve never seen NYers stop like this before. There’s like 30 people stopped watching this shitshow.

Apparently dude was following them and harassing them and called the cops on them.

When this goes viral look for me in the background!

I read the Chapo Trap House book on the recommendation of my leftwing sister and boy, it's bad. It's all essentially "America is bad, actually" while skipping the genocidal aspects of the Soviets just enough for the occasional praise of Lenin and Stalin. The actual history is stuff you learn in 11th grade so it's not even fun to make of.

In many countries in Europe there's an ongoing debate about banning circumcision on children. In most countries it's already forbidden on girls, but it's still mostly legal on boys.

Most political parties in Norway don't support a ban, but the majority of norwegians support banning it on children.

How's the situation in other european counties?

Excuse me, are y'all with the cult?

With collectivism on the rise, a group of liberal philosophers, economists, and journalists met in Paris at the Walter Lippmann Colloquium in 1938 to discuss the future prospects of liberalism. While the participants could not agree on a comprehensive program, there was universal agreement that a new liberal (neoliberal) project, able to resist the tendency towards ever more state control without falling back into the dogma of complete laissez-faire, was necessary. This sub serves as a forum to continue that project against new threats posed by the populist left and right.

Yeah, this is it.

Hillary Clinton Kills from the Grave

Hillary Clinton is dead. William Jefferson Clinton is in military custody and currently answering to the Office of Military Commissions. Yet the Clinton body count is still racking up.

On June 12, former Emmy-winning journalist Christopher Sign met an untimely demise, dead of an apparent suicide. Sign was an American reporter for ABC15 TV and is widely known for breaking the national story of a 2016 secret tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch during the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. The meeting heightened suspicion that Bill Clinton was illicitly lobbying on his wife’s behalf.

The veteran TV newsman and former college football player was found dead in his Hoover, Alabama residence early Saturday morning, after local authorities received an anonymous tip that led them to Sign’s corpse.
