It's vital to emphasize that the GOP has been calling for violence against their political opponents for more than a decade now, led by Trump. The violence keeps escalating, and they keep doing it because they're getting results.

Trump and every Republican politician who's adopted his rhetoric. progressive.org/magazine/the...

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

And the most important issue this week to centrist elites was jerking each off about how terrible it is that they get criticized on BlueSky

NYT: Mr. President Trump has the chance to end the war with Iran that Obama started

Pritzker's willingness to speak over these fascist pigs is honestly a great endorsement of his suitability to lead in this moment

“They’re all Pedocons?” 🌎👩‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀🌗

yep! unpaywalled:

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

White guy NYC podcaster whining about the democratic party? Block block Blockity Block block

I think it was Ezra Klein who did the useful exercise 10-15 years ago of surveying Republican electeds and economists to get them on the record as to where they actually thought the point existed. Vast majority refused and the few that did respond picked a point way higher than the highest tax rate

anyway I’m going out to protest this weekend because we haven’t been beaten yet, and I suggest you do the same it’ll make you feel better than reading an endless stream of posts about how we’re all doomed and we might as well offer ourselves up to be processed into slurry for the MAGA AI mines now

Another example of why traditional media (which adheres to long-standing journalistic standards) cannot compete w/ the right wing media sphere, which plays by completely different rules. It's a completely asymmetric playing field. The left can't compete by relying on traditional media for messaging.

They like Trump and want to help him. The ones who pretend not to like Trump are not doing this out of shame but because they have liberal audiences they would alienate and stop listening to them if they were open about their intentions (which would not help Trump, which they want to do)

because it would become a career-defining scandal with the beltway media, but yeah. Newsom might be breaking ground here

I’ve seen a lot of “the left is blowing this race by uniting behind a socialist like Zohran” takes but not enough “the establishment/center is blowing this race by uniting behind a sexual harasser/corrupt weirdo like Cuomo” takes

New from me: I had a lot of thoughts on WelcomeFest, the Trump-Musk breakup, civil protest movements, and (again!) why the left-right binary of politics is dead and gone. www.altrightdelete.news/p/there-is-n...

democrats categorically cannot say that any place they govern is successful or a nice place to live because it is immediately met by an angry backlash from the left about how the economy sucks actually

When media personalities wail “Dooooo Sooomethinnnngggg,” remind them of what they and their colleagues chose to do.

Will the mainstream media stand in solidarity with reporters being brutalized by Trump's goons or will they push "violent protests and blue city anarchy!" stories? I think it will be telling!

🔥🔥🔥 Now we are talking. This is it. ↘️
