So if you screamed Free Barabbas, you helped crucify Christ. That is the blood libel logic of this kind of post. Antisemitism is historically based on EXACTLY this kind of guilt by association. EXACTLY.

So much of the last 10-plus years can be summed up by the guffaws from Maggie Haberman and George Stephanopoulos when Keith Ellison said Trump could win the Republican nomination in 2016.

very cool that for ten years people at the heights of political commentary insisted to the point of rage that the paramount threat to free speech was “censorious” college students

I’m still sorta surprised at how thoroughly Target misunderstood its customer—or, at least, one of its most important customers. Relatively well-off, college-educated suburban women do a disproportionately massive amount of consumer spending, loved Target, and are statistically not Trump voters

Speaking from personal experience, it's been this way for at least 20 years. I was lucky to write at MyDD, where we had decent ad revenue, but it wasn't enough to live on. The fact that the model has not improved is damning.

A campaign-ending or career-ending gaffe for any liberal or left wing politician, but Cuomo represents a chance for conservatives to steal NYC for another four years so they will try to quickly steer the narrative past it.

I hate to be That Guy, but no, this really isn't hypocrisy. If Posobiec held a universalist principle -- "one should not threaten the president" or "one should be able to threaten the president," either one -- then it would be hypocrisy. But he does not hold any such universalist principle.

It’s amazing how the whole world knows Trump is maybe the easiest mark and yet the majority of our political press and half the country is convinced, with no evidence to support it btw, that he’s some business/political genius.

No U.S. citizen should be detained by law enforcement, at the border or anywhere, because of their protected speech. ICE and CBP are the "enemies domestic" that federal officials swear an oath to defend against. www.usermag.co/p/hasan-pike...

Imagine gearing up like this and still shooting civilians downtown because you “feared for your life.”

At its core, due process means notice and an opportunity to be heard. They went to eliminate any right to notice, and eliminate any right to be heard. Once the state points a finger at you, it’s over.

I think it's time to move past Occupy Wall Street to direct occupation of Wall Street holdings. Shut this crap down with direct action.

This is the NY Times flat-out lying to the world.. Ras Baraka was there to do an inspection. He was there on official business. Federal agents arrested him for trying to do official business. They did it to protect ILLEGAL federal conduct, which he was trying to put an end to.

Just amazing that even on high level cases like Mangione, the cops disregard the few constitutional guidelines they are supposed to follow, pretty obviously manufacturing evidence. Imagine how bad it is for everyday actions by the police.
