Today I learned about something called the Sojourner Truth project (Detroit) and the White riots connected with it in 1942.
At this time, an estimated 5,000 *families (not individuals) were moving into Detroit every month, and there was simply not enough housing, adequate or otherwise. People were sleeping in railroad boxcars.

This part of the story is wrong- eight mile was not “the wall” at that time but rather “grand Blvd.” was. 8 mile did not become “the wall” until@the 70’s.

You can't tell me in all seriousness that a Sherrod Brown, a mayor Pete, a Gavin Newsom, a Mitch Landrieu wouldn't be polling 10 points higher at this stage
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance we’re in a different era now, also polling is shit- Biden will get 400EV

"Biden's brutal poll"
https://morningshots.thebulwark.com/i/119728764/bidens-brutal-poll
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance this poll has trump leading with youth and Biden winning the elderly- highly unlikely
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
The broader issue is that Biden is deeply unpopular - not in the realm of Hilary, but more unpopular than any democratic president in living memory. Not b/c of likeability or even effectiveness.
It is the very fact that his positives are obvious yet he's still unpopular (for obvious reasons), which speaks to a clear ceiling. Beating trump by a slight margin should not be the bogey - any of the ppl I mentioned earlier can easily beat Trump.
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
It's not about me - I think he can perform adequately through 2028, but the majority of dems think otherwise. They may be wrong, but why must we try so hard to change their minds when there are clearly more attractive candidates.
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
Then let a majority of dems bore him out in a primary

Interesting, that Tucker felt it "necessary" to insert the adjective "English" before media, when alleging how you'll be fired if you 'go against the system'.
He could've omitted it, or he could have gone, you know, with Russian, say, or Hungarian, just to name a couple of other languages at, you know, random.
I think we understand, Tucker. 🤡

Plut I heard about the earthquake out there- u ok ?
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @plutus Fine, thanks. The entire Kanto Plain woke up at about 4:15 am, cuz everyone's cell was blasting the warning. Southern Chiba, but not a major quake. Mostly 3s and 4s on our scale in the metro area. The fours closer to the bay, lower #s toward the mountains. *Very localized 5+ at one Chiba station. That's a bit rough, and about = to what we felt in Tokyo from the Tohoku quake in 2011. But we felt that for nearly 3 minutes back then. In Chiba, that motion was likely only 15-20 seconds.
@rubecube12 @plutus @ForeignSubstance oh! I’m glad you’re ok, I heard there was some in Northern California as well.

Wait- you drove 6200 miles? 30 days X 6 hours 180 —-6200/180=34.4 - did you spend every hour driving or does that include wait times ?
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
big roads. Driving 50-80 miles per hour most trips
@rubecube12 @johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
How many years before autonomous driving becomes ubiquitous?
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
By then I'll be renting out 3 homes and won't be doing any driving. They are nowhere near self driving right now
@plutus @ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
But i have bidu as a hedge
@ForeignSubstance @plutus @rubecube12 there will not be full self driving in your lifetime. You’re good

Who is red and who is purple?
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
How far morally have we fallen when DeSantis is considered purple - a dude that exploits the most basic instincts in plebs without being Trumpian; xenophobia and homophobia shrouded in a veneer of an Ivy-league education
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
Tell me Johnny when would DeSantis' tactics be even tolerated under the GWB administration let alone Reagan or GHWB.
We are literally South Africa circa 1985 - "it's about protecting our heritage".
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
The awakening did not just happen on the Left; the mindset of soccer moms and college educated GOP are more racially triggered than they have been in the past 1/2 century. What I mean is the latter group would not be as defensive or demonstrate such venom against middle of the road dems like Biden in prior decades. I am talking about so-called moderate GOP.
@plutus @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance to clarify - trump is purple, desantis is red Biden is blue- but the colors have no meaning- weirdly Dems winning in 2024 are trading at 54 cents a share, Biden is trading at 42 Trump 35 & republicans 48 cents.
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
Makes sense - any eloquent moderate dem b/w 50-60 will slay anyone else
@johnserwach @rubecube12 @ForeignSubstance
Newsom can literally beat DeSantis or any other GOP by 10 pts in popular;
Mitch Landrieu by even more;
This fixation to do it for Joe the gipper is born out of pure nostalgia.
@plutus @johnserwach @rubecube12 Gotta win pop vote by at *least* 4% just to break even where it counts.
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach @rubecube12
Biden has a firm ceiling.
If we don't think winning by 48k votes in 2020 is a mere sliver and Biden's negatives have been more amplified in the last 3 years then we haven't been paying attention at all.
Do not let nostalgia/one's CV be in the way of winning by a margin. Enough catering to royalty.
@johnserwach @plutus @ForeignSubstance
Every year that ceiling rises. The midterms proved that. MAGA self purge
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance @plutus
Where it counts changes every year. Soon Georgia and Texas will be blue and where it counts will be materially different

The inconsistencies and contradictions are well-crafted techniques to draw in more and more support from those who feel their entitlement should never have to be legitimized but an accepted condition.

@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
We got our bags today
Seems uh, unlikely—- besides, surely you have a bag around@the house ?
@ForeignSubstance @johnserwach
They handed them out in the lobby. Thats why it says stamp out hunger on it. Bring it back down to the lobby by tonight. Its a building. Theres no mailbox to put it in. The out mail is a slit
Where do you get your mail? You put it by your mailbox- not in it! I left a tub by the porch.
@johnserwach @ForeignSubstance
I get my mail in the mailroom. Its a tiny po box. There wouldn't be enough space if everyone put their bags in the mailroom with food
@ForeignSubstance @rubecube12 sigh, I would put them in front. Or by the mailroom door. It’s ok. Just try itZ
