Two of the three states with the largest population of people in the U.S. illegally are the red states of Texas and Florida. Trump, notably, does not name their cities when calling on ICE to execute more aggressive immigration raids. He does, however, name LA, Chicago and New York.

It's pretty telling that the second part of the "Mamdani is a danger to Jewish new yorkers" pitch is always "so vote for sexual harasser shitbag Italian Catholic Andrew Cuomo" and not "so vote for Jewish Progressive Brad Lander"

every time Trump re-enters his “I ain’t reading all that” era it is because he is down so bad and one bad clench away from dying on the toilet. We gotta keep pushing

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

How many reporters are currently working on tell-all exposés about their own organization, detailing all the acts of cowardice of their editors and publishers? I won’t ever buy your book about Sleepy Joe Biden, but I’d absolutely devour a book about the internal collapse of the NYT or CNN.

Conservative protests are always treated as an organic cry of anger that manifests the distress of the unjustly ignored American heartland; protests from the center-left are always written off as noise from inside the bubble.

Me: take hours to read a book You: have your super hot ChatGPT girlfriend download a million books, read them, then summarize them all to you in a barrage of lies that you can't even tell are lies because you don't read books; also you have the critical thinking skills of a shovel-struck donkey

Has @kuer.org, ‪@sltrib.com‬ or any other Utah media outlet reported how Sen. Mike Lee is pretending that a right-wing Trump-voting anti-abortion activist who targeted Democrats is somehow a "Marxist"? Public officials are being assassinated and Utah's shameless senator is pouring gas on the fire.

This is much better than Speaker Jeffries references to a vague violence, but it could be even more specific. Name actual individuals who need to be held to account. It will make the general charges stick and spark an actual news cycle as reporters ask them for comments and replies. Call them out.

Anyone who says “pfff we were protesting when it was cool” deserves to be ignored. If someone is attending their first protest the response should be “welcome” not “oh great another noob.” Otherwise we’re all fucked.

i would like some political reporter - any political reporter - to get one of the following reps on the record about mike lee and bernie moreno's comments: - brad finstad - tom emmer - michelle fischbach - pete stauber both finstad and emmer served with her. ask them what they think of these lies.

one of the really challenging asymmetries in american politics is that democrats are asked to answer for the actions of every single hypothetical democratic voter in the country but republican lawmakers are not even asked about the behavior of their own elected peers

It's impressive how the Republicans like Mike Lee who cape as the most "principled, moral, and historically informed" of the bunch turn out to be the most shameless, lying propagandists.

I think a good rule of thumb is if your preferred source of news referred to yesterday's protest as "tens of thousands" and not "millions", you need to find a different news source.

love how it says the majority would rather have someone other than cuomo, describes how ranked choice fixes this, and then implies it's somehow less democratic

two sitting senators propagating a vile lie about the murder of a democratic politician and attempted murder of another because the killer shares their own beliefs, which are not controversial within the party, is egregiously immoral conduct and reporters should reference it in those terms.

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

Heh. To add to this. If you come in my mentions, totally misrepresent what I said, and I block you, it's not because I "can't handle the truth" or that I'm against free speech. I just think you're a dipshit who isn't worth bothering with because you totally misrepresented what I said.

I go to bed tonight proud to know how many people are willing to stand up for what’s right — and how few are willing to rally for his hate. Night, all, and let us try to be good to one another — and ourselves.

A leader of the MN House Democrats is murdered by a Republican pro-life activist. Rather than condemning political murder of his opponents, Elon Musk spreads the conspiracy theory that it was done by Democrats. Journalists don’t need to use any social media site. But they really shouldn’t use X.

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

It's pretty obvious that a lot of US mainstream media either doesn't recognise authoritarianism or doesn't want to call it out. Either way, it's an excellent way to destroy trust in your institution.

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

This is mostly because the median Democratic politician insists on constructing a made-up median American voter in their head, who they base on some combination of Archie Bunker and William Buckley.

one disgusting thing fox news does constantly is lead jihads to try to get other journalists fired, like they're currently doing to Kimes. Story after story until they draw blood. If you work for Fox or defend them, you are a traitor to your fellow journalists.

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.

On some level I have to wonder if the normality of the protests is, like—the Tea Party was full of colorful grotesques, the NYT is just as dismissive of wine mom liberals as the tankie left is

This was the biggest day of protest in American history. You'd think it would deserve more attention than the President watching tanks slowly go vroom.
