Anyway, the biggest reason the Floyd protests didn't turn into a color revolution is that people understood that they were months away from a vastly easier to execute method of regime change.

I hate the caricature of Americans as couch potatoes who don’t do anything about fascism. People in LA and NYC are doing the international legacy of stuff like the Battle of Cable Street proud.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

Came across this yesterday: '…when CDC issued guidance to schools on the massive increase of sexual violence, there was no call to discourage boys from hurting female classmates. Instead, the agency suggested more school counselors and lessons for girls on how to negotiate sexual consent.'

worth remembering that when Trump announced a travel ban in 2017, people literally went to airports to protest. Eight years later, Trump announces a new one and it's not even front page news. We're the frogs and the water is getting awfully hot.

Abducting people at work sites - meaning they have jobs. Capturing them at court dates - meaning they're following the law. Blocking them from accessible higher education - meaning they're striving for more. And peddling lies about jobless, lawless, driftless.

Cuomo used state resources to investigate and smear his victims, including but not limited to seeking subpoenas for their gynecology records. He also placed covid+ patients in nursing homes, knowing the risk to elderly residents.

as a person from the suburbs of NYC I must make clear that "bacon cheese and egg" is not how a suburbanite says it, it's how an alien from a planet where lead instead of carbon is the foundational molecule for life says it

I think it’s more that the dudes who want the cool robots and space exploration have pickled their brains in a nazi conspiracy internet cesspool and now they have to hate science because science keeps proving their world view to be wrong over and over again.

Can some brave reporter ask if Trump will issue a EO on the threat from the Federalist Society? Maybe one of the Bulwark correspondents?

Putting the merits aside, it’s wild how the media treats GOP hatred of the majority of the country as normal. If democratic leaders said “We can all agree Mississippi is a shithole” we would never hear the end of it.

What I'm hearing is that his attendance at this dinner where people hand him bribes is not an official presidential action, as designated for absolute criminal immunity in Trump v. United States

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

Oh my God. Make it stop. Once again, screaming into the void: in 2024, it was the <Republicans> who actually nominated the old guy with mental acuity problems. The Democrats, you will remember, actually pushed their old guy out & chose someone else. What are we doing here? bsky.app/profile/mcop...

You want to know why Thompson, Tapper, et al. spend their days hassling Dems? Because Dems care. Dems react. Dems make them feel like they have agenda-setting power. Dems beg & scrape for their approval. Republicans don't give a shit. Writing about GOP crimes doesn't bring the same ego boost.

It's remarkable how much of this administration's agenda has been laser focused on simply making life worse for ordinary Americans.

But Trump was president in 2020. So if unauthorized use of an autopen allowed the election to be stolen, it was still his staff/cabinet at fault? Does he forget when he left office?

We need widespread attention focused on the one man - Jeremy Lewis - choosing to kill people by letting this food rot. His name should be at least as recognizable as Big Balls. Make sure he can never get a date in DC again.

Trump is demanding that a U.S. company "EAT THE TARIFFS." These are the tariffs he insisted China would pay for, no? Why is the U.S. president suddenly taking China's side in his own trade war, at the expense of an American company?
