A thing people don't remember about 2003 is that "they have WMDs" was the pitch to high-info voters. The pitch to low-info voters was "the dastardly muslims attacked us on 9/11 and we have to hit them back by deposing the muslim king saddam hussein who attacked us"

There was a survey a few weeks ago that found half of Americans thought ICE was just hunting criminals. The institutional press have failed to make clear ICE’s primary strategy today is capturing people through the use of compliance traps, and shipping them off to substandard prisons in the South.

Zohran is so antisemitic he keeps hanging out with and endorsing a Jew who is also his primary competition. What a terrifying man.

What an obscenely terrible headline. I can assure the legacy media that Democrats are not looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed, arrested or indicted. The handcuffs are a symbol of authoritarianism, injustice, intimidation, and government abuse. Nothing more.

SLOTKIN: Have you given the order to be able to shoot at unarmed protesters in any way? HEGSETH: What is that based on? SLOTKIN: It is based on Trump giving that order to your predecessor, who I give a lot of credit to bc he didn't accept the order. He has more guts & balls than you

"We're not saying you can't get health care because you're transgender, which would be illegal. We're just saying we refuse to treat the conditions that cause you to be transgender. That's different and okay." A pathetic, indefensible logical pretzel from SCOTUS

I'm sorry, if Liz Cheney's presence, even with hindsight, is too much for you to bear, I think your antifascist principles kind of suck! I'm of exactly the right age to hate her too, and share your distaste, but if distancing yourself from her was more important than stopping all this, well!

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' More of this, please"

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Yeah you’ve got hochul uploading an official nygov social video calling lander’s arrest, and I’m quoting here, “bullshit.” They think the feds have overreached and are vulnerable.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

The Atlantic should be ashamed of publishing this nightmare piece from Liz Bruenig, whose callous dismissal of Adriana Smith's dignity is one of the most shocking things I've ever read.

People on this goddamn website will say with a straight face that Democrats must simply improve people’s material conditions because then fascism isn’t attractive and it’s so fucking false I don’t even know where to start. Maybe with FDR getting elected in the middle of the Great Depression?

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
