Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

i feel like part of the issue with the electorate is that in a two party system by thermostatic politics and a voter base that doesn't want to engage in critical thinking about policy, you get people who just ignore the rot in conservatism post-Trump (tweet screenshot from 2020)

Trump has not only symbolically condoned political violence, he's materially enabled it with the powers of his office by officially pardoning the traitors against America of the January 6th insurrection. Every other unhinged right-wing lunatic can see that and do the math

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

The blood of the Hortman's is directly on Trump's hands. Not just Trump either but the entire far-right media ecosystem that pushes that Schmittian narrative 24/7 that Democrats, liberals, progressives and socialists are all "traitors". They killed the Hortman's as much as the gunman did.

Noteworthy for the first time I've seen "quitting ECHR not enough". The Right's opinion-industrial complex has ratcheted itself onto the full load-them-onto-cattle-trucks phase.

I feel like "fuck Anne Frank" is actually a very useful signal because the people to whom it appears a worthwhile thing to say can quickly identify each other while the rest of us can immediately block them. It basically perfectly filters a certain kind of inane edgy teen bigot approach to politics.

as good as boy george's response to jk rowling is, let's not forget who he is. a guy who imprisoned a sex worker in his house and abused and terrorised him and then never apologised for it.

There's too much of this "you have to accept that some people have bigoted, beliefs, and you have to give those bigoted beliefs the same respect as the people being harmed by those bigoted beliefs" And not enough of this "We should have more justice in society"

this shit is all elaborate fan fiction, every actual thing that underpins American dominance in science and tech is having a fucking sledgehammer taken to it because the groyphers in charge think expertise is woke and gay, and more actual news outlets (so not TFP) should point that out.

Unfortunately if the current Iranian leadership survives we may face the worst of all worlds—an angry Iran exiting NPT and more determined than ever to weaponize its nuclear program.

I'm dreading seeing liberal opponents of Netanyahu thinking they can separate the war from the government prosecuting it. I'm dreading seeing western leftists thinking they can praise Iranian resistance without at the same time supporting the Iranian government.

Both regimes are vile and monstrous and also adept at using liberal or left wing framings when it is useful to them to gain support from westerners.
