And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

👇 genuinely don’t understand why people are unable to comprehend “don’t get AI to do something for you if you can’t understand whether it has produced the wrong answer”.

New in PN: MAGA political violence claims more victims "Trump winks to his more thuggish supporters while publicly insisting that he shouldn’t be held to account for their actions. The game is to get the benefit of intimidation and violence without the responsibility."

I had the same reaction. Mamdani is such a threat in their view that they had to essentially reverse their non-endorsement policy. If Cuomo was cruising to victory, I doubt this piece would be written.

“Armed “security forces have often been the public face of the violence and moral collapse that can pervade societies when strongmen come to power, . . . speeding up autocratic consolidation by . . . a leader who wants to use [the military] against his own citizens.” www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/o...

A sane President would see the chaos that he engineered in LA as a mistake to avoid replicating. But for Trump it was simply the opening battle of his authoritarian takeover of major power centers controlled by his political enemies.

Thank you Tim

Worth noting that Tea Party protests were over theoretical, imaginary, future forms of oppression, not anything happening in the, what's it called, real world. About the closest they came to first-hand oppression was some folks were allowed to get married and poor people received healthcare.

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Just an appreciation post for Jacob being on the scene. In the absence of this reporting it would have been he-said/she-said. The sheriffs attacked peaceful protestors including kids with flashbangs, tear gas, and rubber bullets. We need more peaceful protest and more documentation on the ground.

There a reason the protests are being covered differently from the Tea Party The Tea Party was a front for the wealth class that owns the media and were used to demonize necessary reform These protests were democratic and populist, which the wealth class and its media opposes Hope that helps

The Tea Party protests in April 2009 had about a third of a million people involved, and the political media treated it like a game changer for the Obama presidency. The No Kings rallies were AT LEAST ten times bigger than the Tea Party protests. Will the press keep pretending Trump is popular?
