sitting in my apartment firing off missives instructing protesters on the morally correct way to respond when they’re fired on by federal forces

A lot of these folks think Trump is only kicking out dangerous criminals. They don't hear about the arbitrarily canceled visas and TPS and asylees who are following the rules. Huge messaging failure by Democrats.

People tried so hard to follow the law, Byzantine and unjust as it is. They showed up at meetings, filled out the paperwork, went to the courthouse. You responded by kidnapping them in front of their children and dragging them to black sites. This is what’s left. This is all that’s left.

The administration gets closer to using the military to crush civilian dissent. Expect deaths, disappearances, and lawless detentions.

The craziest thing about this fight between Trump and Elon Musk is that Republicans are trying to take away health care from 16 million people to pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

The real, ideological enemy isn't MAGA or ICE or Israel or Russia or etc etc etc. It's dehumanization. It's the idea that some groups of people do not deserve human rights and must be purged Anyone who follows these assholes into that cesspit has already lost

Most political commentators are too polite to say this, but Trump won because of his appeal to the most important voting bloc: morons. If the Democrats want to win again the answer isn’t becoming more left or more right, it’s coming up with dumb policies that morons like

I think my biggest problem with “we have Biden to thank for Trump 2.0” is it puts the bad decision onus on one man and absolves millions of bad decisions from voters who had ample evidence to know better. And absolves a press that obviously didn’t convey the stakes very effectively.

I still think it's nuts that the South has signed onto the project of federalism, completely obliterating the tradition of antistatism and free trade to cosign a presumed moral crusade led by a man with all the virtues of a Nero. shows how much racism annihilates tradition—often in its service.

If you are obsessed with putting some sort of religious rule in public school classrooms (an issue in Texas right now) why not the golden rule rather than the commandments, which are not even that useful?

I think Democrats don't want to dwell on the obvious, that the billionaires who control most of the news and information business are putting their thumb on the scale for Republicans, because they know how those billionaires will depict that pushback.

Two things can be true: 1. You can't just chase after polling, because it's largely garbage data and also people's opinions follow messaging, they don't lead messaging 2. If your messaging sucks ass, you might see the issue slide in polls and therefore need to reassess
